The moment I read the prompt for this journal I immediately thought of wikipedia as a very visually unattractive website. With its white plain white background and generic black and blue font it is not visually stimulating at all. I have always thought the creator of wikipedia could do much more to make it visually and rhetorically much more appealing, and probably get a lot more visitors. Honestly, it looks unprofessional and I think adds to its overall reputation as an unreliable source for research.

I think this is a very visually attractive/stimulating and rhetorically appealing website. As a huge penguins fan I am a little bias, but it is a very professional and well set-up website. The colors and background textures of the website rhetorically add to connecting visiting this website to the team. It does have advertisement that doesn't really fit with the page, but advertisement is a given for most professional mediums. The first things you look at are your options to watch recent video's and updates about the team, as well as a box towards the right of the page that lets you know how they did in their most recent game and who they will play next. These visually attractive attributes catch your eye right away and inform you about the team whether you wanted to be informed or not. Rhetorically and visually this is a very appealing website.
