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:

                                        Red light indicates Stop, Yellow
                                        light indicates Wait and Green                      No Smoking

                                        No Pets Allowed                                     No Entry

                 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: for 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.
