Visual communication design is an innovative work field of the 21st Century that requires evaluating every event as a communication process, adapting any multimedia situation, and combining the fields of communication, media, art, and technology. In its most basic definition; visual communication design is merging design and technology in order to communicate; it involves using creative and theoretical thinking methods to produce a visual language which connects with the desired segment or consumer. Every single one of the visual products within that enormous division of language are designed with a function, and therefore a purpose.
Visual communication designer connects his/her design knowledge and ability, aesthetical sense, and critical thinking philosophy on digital environment when needed with animated visuals, sound gadgets, and 3 dimensional applications. Visual communication designer must commune with the technology. Besides that, visual communication designer is a communication specialist who understands targeted consumer group and think strategically with that understanding. Designer must produce strategical solutions in order to create competitive and sustainable products within the global market.
