• typeface: size, font: serif, sans serif: are there "argumentative possibilities of mixing multiple typefaces in a paper other than one about typefaces?

• Color and Culture
  
• composition and photography: immediacy, reality, and how that contrasts with the ease of their manipulation
• Data visualizations: IKEA instructions
• Variations of Video and Sound: how can they be rhetorical?
