Visual Communication

Visual Communication solely relies on vision. It is form of communication with visual effect.

It explores the idea that a visual message with text has a greater power to inform, educate or persuade a person. It is communication by presenting information through visual form.

Voice

We communicate with our voices, even when we are not using words.

Nonverbal speech sounds such as tone, pitch, volume, inflection, rhythm, and rate are important communication elements.

When we speak, other people “read” our voices in addition to listening to our words. These nonverbal speech sounds provide subtle but powerful clues into our true feelings and what we really mean.

Business Communication

It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it

Intensity. A reflection of the amount of energy you project is considered your intensity. Again, this has as much to do with what feels good to the other person as what you personally prefer.

Timing and pace. Your ability to be a good listener and communicate interest and involvement is impacted by timing and pace.
