Visual communication is a key tool. We find it easier to ‘read’ images than to read a written text. Disciplines such as ‘Visual Thinking’ facilitate the taking of visually rich notes through the use of images, graphs, infographics, and simple drawings.

Interactivity and animation can be your best allies when creating tables, infographics, or graphs that help provide context for the information and simplify the data in order to communicate it to your audience. We are visual beings and we find it easier to ‘read’ images than to read a written text.
