In today’s world, it is really important to communicate. We all have ton of ideas is stored in our small brain and so we need to communicate them with each other. Along with the regular style of verbal communication there is trend of visual communication taking over all the modes of communication. We all need to understand that it is not a new style of communication rather its one of the oldest method as the making pictures in the cave walls was the only mode of communication with the cave people. So even today it is playing a major role as all the advertisements we see in our daily life are the visual. We all know the importance of signs and symbols.
I think many people associate the concept of Visual Literacy with technology, and the supposed new digital age. This post illustrates an important point, that long before we had technology, there was Visual Literacy. Not only this, but that it was actually communication through Visual Literacy that spawned written communication in the first place.
