Benefits of Visual Communication

Efficient - Instant Conveyance

Compared with verbal communication, visual communication prevails in the efficiency of communication. For example, a bar chart helps the audience find out the first and last item at a glance. A line chart on sales with an uprising arrow tells readers immediately that the sales trend is increasing and favorable.

Easy - Ease of Understanding

One of the primary advantage visual communication offers is simplicity. For example, when you get lost, you can find the place easier and faster by looking at a visual map and a 3D directional map will be much better.

Flexible - Cross-cultural Communication

Just think about the cross-cultural communication, when people cannot understand foreign language, a symbol or a picture will remove the language obstacles. This is the reason that many public places use signs in addition to words to send message. Visual charts and graphics can be posted online, put beside the highway and stacked on anywhere audible. Such flexible communication form can bridge geographic distance and cross cultural differences.

Enjoyable - Generation of Enjoyment

Visual materials are relatively more eye-pleasing. If highly artistic, it brings aesthetic enjoyment. When presenting an amazing shot, it makes people relaxed. A funny picture makes people laugh and will help people memorize the information better.
