visual communication
Seeing to understand
Visual communication is the conveyance of information through images, symbols, graphics, or other things people see rather than read or hear.
It encompasses photography, graphic design, data visualization, signage, and body language.
A pie chart is visual communication; so is a stop sign or a raised eyebrow.
The presentation relied heavily on visual communication to explain complex data.
