Defining Visual Communication
Imagine that you're on vacation in a foreign city, and you get lost while driving. If you were at
home, you could stop and ask someone for directions. But here, you don't speak the language
very well, so asking directions won't do much good. Instead, you can rely on a map, using
landmarks, routes, and familiar signs, which successfully lead you back to your hotel. In this
scenario, you have found your way back almost entirely through visual communication.
