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.
