Visual content is a cross-cutting, universal language, like music. We are capable of understanding images from millions of years ago, even from other cultures. We better grasp visual content. Visual content is associated with cognitive and psychological mechanisms. Things enter through the eyes; the first image is what matters. We associate visual content with emotions. Our brain is prepared to consume visual content.
