What Is Visual Communications?

Visual communication is communication done with visual aides. It can be anything from cave
paintings to PowerPoint presentations. There are also visual communication programs used with
students who have autism.

Any image that is used to communicate an idea, whether it's a sign, poster, drawing,
photograph or television advertisement, can be included in the field of visual
communications. If you have a creative flare for visual media, you may be interested in
pursuing an education and career in visual communications. Read below to find out about the
educational and career possibilities.

Visual Communications Defined

At its core, visual communications effectively uses images to persuade, entertain, inform and
enlighten an observing audience of products, ideas and messages. Graphic designers,
advertising designers, art directors and visual artists all utilize various forms of visual media
to communicate their ideas to their desired audiences. Modern visual communicators know
how to use various types of visual technology to create artistic images that communicate with
the public.
Visual Communication Education
Degree programs in visual communications often offer core classes that illustrate the
fundamentals of the field, which may include study in business, conceptual development and
communication theory. Additionally, you may concentrate on technology-specific courses
that teach you the technical skills involved with creating visual media, such as digital
imaging and Web design. Degree programs can give you a well-rounded education through
classroom instruction, hands-on studio work and field internships. You may also work to
develop a professional portfolio that exemplifies your creative style and technical prowess.
Careers in Visual Communications
Visual communication is prominent in advertising through various visual media, including
websites, television and print publishing. Depending on your area of interest and educational
concentration, you may decide to pursue a career as an art director, graphic designer,
typographer, visual artist, photographer, illustrator or Web designer. As a visual
communication professional, you may work for large and small media firms or freelance your
work to clients.
