- It matches with your audience.
- It adapts the fonts and color to the theme.
- It includes images and entertains.
- It represents data with graphs.
Example

Reflect
Our brain is designed to consume visual content. Some data: 90% of the information we process comes through sight, and we process visual content up to 60,000 times faster than text. That’s why visual communication is more effective.
