Visual Text

A piece of visual text, or propaganda (which is pejorative), is a picture, graph, chart, etc. that is used to "say" something without words. Look at THIS website. Look at the images and think about what it is that they're "selling" by choosing those particular images. What are they trying to say?

So, in your particular issue, you find a web site, or a film, a logo, or a magazine advertisement (there are many other types of visual texts, of course), and think about how it has been created to communicate something about the cause.

Another example. What is the image below trying to say? Is it making an argument? How is it doing that? What is it using to do that -- what suppositions does it make about you the viewer?
