Watch And Learn

As a student of life the creative journey can be quite the roller coaster. If you’re a jack of all trades you find joy in making things out of nothing. It just goes to show how far creativity can go and as a creative you probably learn mostly  through visual communication. Having the ability to see something being done and immediately able to do it yourself after. For most people it works. Goes to show the saying “watch and learn” is really what it states. Visual communication uses tools like symbols and images to instill knowledge within people. If you learn through visual communication, you most likely use your brain to reflect back on images of when you were first introduced to a task allowing you to perform it time and time again. Through trial and error is where these visual images help you the most and is the most necessary in teaching you. We all have images in our minds that has meaning and knowledge behind it. These can even pertain to logos. Logos are the symbols and images behind brands. There are many major brands that are instilled within our culture that we immediately understand with just a glance at the logo. The brand’s logo triggers immediate information on the company that was stored in our brains. Some companies to list that have strong visual communication are McDonald's, Walt Disney, and Nike. McDonald's is strong due to their logo of the golden arches that creates an “M”. With just a glance at that logo even from miles away you’ll know it is the McDonald's company. You’ve probably understood it was since you were a baby! That is how strong of a visual communication the McDonald's logo is. The second company would be Walt Disney. This one here is global, everyone knows mickey mouse. Not only is Walt Disney responsible for some of the greatest cartoon characters in history but they have their own resorts and own companies we love today like Marvel, ESPN, and Pixar. Everyone around the world knows who mickey mouse is thanks to the Walt Disney logo, you can immediately put the two together. The third company would be, Nike. Nike started off as a small company selling shoes from japan to runners that would later transcend into one of the greatest sneaker companies of our current generation today. There are at least pair of Nike's around the world today. When you see Nike’s logo “the swoosh” you immediately think of Nike and how you can just do it. Although it is a young company it is still strong in visual communication for all of us to know and understand. Visual communication is how humans understand majority of rules in our society. There are many other forms of communication people use, visual communication just happens to be in our daily lives just as much as the verbal aspect of communication is. There will always be different forms of expression that derive from nothing into something.
