VISUAL COMMUNICATION

According to researchers, up to 83% of our learning and 90% of information comes from visual communication which has a big part of total. It is believed that for understanding the importance of visual communication, many situation happens all around us. I would like to describe it with an example;
Imagine, you are visiting to another country and you do not have any idea about this language, and more, the alphabet is not latin. There is no chance to use your dictionary. (Actually, you do not want to spend your holiday for these small things.) How a small drawing, icon or sign changes the everything, how all the visual elements make our life more easier. All designers are visual communicators and they (we) make our life more lifeable.

Methods of Visual Communication are;

• Image formation;
  Foreground, background, lower and upper areas, left and right sides, center and all visible sectors along the perspective from the foreground to the background.
• Art work;
  Dimension, colour, typography, sound, focus, presentation and position, foreground, background, and others.
