Visual Language Advantage

A picture is worth a thousand words. This means that information can be communicated much more rapidly in pictures, which can be recognized visually in an immediate way. Therefore, if we have a library of icons corresponding to aspects of any topic that we are communicating, then we can communicate this topic much more easily.

This can help to reduce the effort required to design anything, while allowing for much more complexity and sophistication in the design, this stems from our visual cortex being capable of processing more information than our logic centers just like a GPU in computers is more powerful than a CPU in certain ways.
