Graphics are non-photographic, two-dimensional materials used to communicate messages visually. They include drawings, charts, graphs, and posters. Drawings use lines to represent concepts and can aid instruction by adding clarity. Charts graphically represent relationships and should be simple with minimal visual clutter. Graphs visually depict numerical data and relationships between data points. Posters combine visual elements like lines, colors, and words to catch attention and briefly communicate persuasive messages.
