Visually communicating

Visual communication as the name suggests is communication through visual aid and is described as the conveyance of ideas and information in forms that can be read or looked upon. Visual communication in part or whole relies on vision, and is primarily presented or expressed with two dimensional images, it includes: signs, typography, drawing, graphic design, illustration, colour and electronic resources. It also explores the idea that a visual message accompanying text has a greater power to inform, educate, or persuade a person or audience.

In this workshop we were focusing on how to visually communicate using images and symbol. We started by illustrating a visual journey of how we got to Filton collge that day using only pictures and symbols.  Below is an image of my visual journey. I decided to start drawing from the bottom of the page because on my journey to collage we drive up the Gloucester road which is up hill.



We then got given separate instruction tasks in groups that we had to draw. We were given the task of drawing how to brush your teeth.
