Graphic design is able to capture the audience’s attention without the use of any verbal announcements. Graphic communication is like a time machine that encapsulates the author’s or illustrator’s message. Vocalizing your mission statement to an audience may get your message across, but the use of graphic design would ensure that your message never falls on deaf ears. In my opinion, it is much easier to remember a photo or a colorful title than it is to remember what someone said.
My question to the author is, when are verbal and visual communication both present? A possible answer to this question would be, in the film business. When filming a movie the director must constantly think about these two ways of communicating to the audience. It is essential to creating a good movie with a clear message.
