The Incredible Power of Graphic Communication

We’ve all heard the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. That saying has stood the test of time because it’s true. It can be much easier to convey a thought in images than in words. After all, people have been communicating with pictures and images for centuries. Additionally, we live and work in an increasingly visual day and age. That makes graphic communication – communication that relies on visual and graphic elements – a key component of marketing your small business or corporation.

Graphic communication and designs are all around us every day. We see it in social media icons, company logos, and road signs. We see it in directional signs and arrows, warning labels, and transportation marks. They’re valuable because they promote clear understanding, prompt concise actions, and speak in every language.

Graphic and visual communication has many other benefits as well. Visual cues are attention-grabbing, instantly recognizable, and engaging and interactive. Think about how often images and graphic elements spark action from you. These are just a few of the ways we use images and visual cues to communicate:

• A blog article that contains images typically gets more views
• A social media post with images usually gets more views and clicks
• A poster that uses white space and images strategically is easier to read
• A banner with logos and images helps increase brand recognition
• A wayfinding sign that uses arrows and other direction cues is easier to understand

Graphic and visual communication is an effective way to share ideas and provide directions. They’re also a smart way to create visual hierarchy and speak to your target audience in a universal language. That makes graphic design, visual storytelling, and graphic communication important marketing and branding tools for your business. Visual communication gets your point across quickly and efficiently. It also lends a professional look and feel to your business and its products and services. The elements and components of graphic design are a compelling way to set your business apart from its competition.
