Advantages of Visual Communication
The main advantage of visual communication is the way that symbols can become universal and supersede the need for a shared language. Visual communication is also used to express different moods and feelings. However, while visual subjects may be universally understood, care needs to be taken that the visual communication that we use does not perpetuate unfair or offensive stereotypes.
Disadvantages of visual communication
- The visual methods of communication are more costly than those of other methods. To draw maps, charts, the diagram is costly.
- Visual communication is not sufficient to communicate effectively and clearly but also it can be successfully used with oral communication.
