What is communication?

Under the heading ‘communication’ we find various types.  Graphic communication in Technology refers to the ability to use flow charts, signs, symbols and drawings.  This is important when you want to express ideas and market various products or design systems.

Lastly when dealing with communication, aesthetics also plays an important role.  Aesthetics refers to the aspects that make a design look attractive or pleasing to the eye.  It is through the senses that aesthetic qualities are judged.  Examples of
aesthetic factors include form, shape, colour and texture.
