What makes visual communication different from written or spoken communication?

You can probably answer that question in dozens of different ways. A painting might convey the sense of colors more vividly than a written description. A video recording might convey the Christmas excitement more accurately than a person talking about it. An actor might convey the feelings of a character more dynamically than a novel.

Sure, these are all true, but while they make visual communication different from written or spoken communication, they don’t always give an advantage to them. A skilled writer can often paint mental images more vividly than a painting can. An energetic talk from the kids can often show the excitement than a video recording. Novels can become more expressive than an actor through the use of poetry and other techniques.

So what gives visual communication a more distinct advantage? The answer is simple: the ability to capture the audience’s eyes.

When a piece of visual communication is revealed to a viewer, it captures his vision regardless of the quality of communication. This captivity might only last for a split second, but that is enough time for a piece of art to convey the communication that opens a new world to the viewer. A successful art would then nest itself to the viewer, feeding on his imagination to grow larger. Once it is firmly nested in the viewer’s mind, it can then aid the expansion of his imagination.

My pixel art here describes that very process: from the revelation, to the opening of a new world, to the nesting and the growth of the art, and finally to the expansion of his imagination. With the viewer in my image thoroughly spoken visually, he now speaks visually to YOU!
