Rhetorical Analysis of an Image
Choose from the Duke University Ad Access Databases of historical advertisements . The categories in this advertising collection include: Beauty and Hygiene (1911-1956); Radio (1922-1956);Television (1937-1957);Transportation (1938-1957); World War II (1942-1945).
Examine and Draw on the collections to begin to understand advertising for a certain product or time period. While the collection reflects major developments in American society, culture, business, and technology, examine the cross-cultural representations they will find in the ads.
Compose a rhetorical analysis essay with annotated images to support your argument.

Social Change Portfolio The social change research project provides an opportunity to choose a contemporary
social issue (gender issues, environmental conservation, poverty, urban development, advertising, consumerism, etc.) Given the immense number of documentary photographic collections, please choose from one of the following: UNESCO Photobank Online United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees - Photographs Images from the History of Medicine (IHM)
Choose 10 photographs that formulate an argument about a specific social issue; Formulate a thesis statement about the photos. Your argument should consider why are
the photos you have chosen important for research and discussion? Annotate each of the 10 photographs and describe as well as argue how each photo
represents historical, cultural and political importance. Integrate relevant theoretical and/or cultural texts to support your arguments. This
means you will perform additional research and locate a minimum of 6 academic sources for your project (only 2 may be websites; the others must be journal articles, books, or other scholarly sources).
