GRAPHICAL COMMUNICATION

Graphics Graphics  are visual presentations on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, computer screen, paper, or stone to brand, inform, illustrate, or entertain.  All the Graphics form an integral part of communication so adequate thought must be given to graphics you decide to prepare.

Be clear about your purpose, understand who the receiver is, and what is he suppose to understand by visuals you provide.

The visuals become more effective when followed by guidelines or footnotes.

These elements can be used to emphasize (or de-emphasize) an issue in relationship to another. The five elements are used in isolation or in combination.
