Communication of messages can be done verbally or non-verbally. Verbal communication includes oral and written messages and non-verbal communication includes body language, gestures, facial expressions, proximity, etc. Another mean through which messages can be communicated effectively is visual communication. Visual communication ranges from cave paintings to today's new media messages. In early era, people used to draw pictures on walls or on the surface of rocks or in cave using bones.
