Visual communications is when any artist, graphic designer, printer, web designer, illustrator, 3D animator, etc. sends a message to their viewers of what they are trying to say; whether it is fun, controversial, political, spiritual, or anything. We as designers are trying to communicate to our audiences, so they can appreciate our message.
