See My Point? Visuals Matter In Health Communication
Health
Literacy Consulting: 6.01.2019
Visuals
include artwork like pictographs (simple line drawings), photographs, anatomic
diagrams, comics, and other images that convey actions or ideas. Many people
enjoy and learn from visuals. They include visual learners (those who learn
best when seeing, reading, or being shown) as well as people with limited
literacy or language skills who benefit from illustrations, not just words.
Here’s
how-to include visuals in your health communication:
➤ Choose
visuals that not only are realistic but also show people at their best.
➤ Show
people in their entirety, not just body parts.
➤ Combine
pictures and text.
➤ Appreciate
that symbols are not always understood.
