Critics have often said that this emphasis on the visual has contributed to a decline in literacy in our society, and to a certain extent, I would agree. But as a visual communicator, I assert that visual messages communicate more powerfully than verbal or textual messages alone. What is literacy but the ability to read and write in order to communicate with others? Until now, our society has been a verbally literate one, and thanks to emerging technologies, we will soon be “visually literate” as well.
