It has a great impact on our day-to-day life. For example, traffic signals for stop, wait or go. To indicate ‘danger’
we use red colour sign, to indicate ‘no smoking’ we use an image showing a lighted cigarette with a cross mark
on it, etc.
Some of the common examples of visual communication in our day-to-day lives are:
Horn Prohibited No Parking
Ladies and Gents toilet. No Left Turn
Pedestrian Crossing Railway Crossing
Red light indicates Stop, Yellow
light indicates Wait and Green No Smoking
light indicates Go
Wifi Under Construction
No Pets allowed No Entry
Danger Warning Radiation/Biohazard Warning
Under CCTV surveillance No Mobile Phones
Advantages of Visual Communication
Some of the advantages of visual communication are:
• It enhances the other forms of communication for better understanding of the information conveyed.
• Sometimes it works as a better way of communication as it has been proven scientifically that pictures have
more impact than spoken or written text. For example people who have difficulty in hearing and speaking, sign
language is the most suitable way of communication. For instance, a science teacher uses a picture of a heart in
science to explain the circulatory system.
• When the content is lengthy and difficult to explain, then it can be easily handled through visuals in a shorter
period of time.
