Using Research and Technology to Highlight “Remarkable Moments”
Visual communication is arguably the most important form of communication, constantly influencing us through the world and how we see it. Visual communication can include anything from print and marketing materials such as a flyer or brochure, social media platforms, graphics and illustrations, and many more methods. Photography has grown to be an essential component of visual communication, due to its ability to capture a moment. Another important facet of photography includes the purpose and intent; the photos that are deemed successful and influential are the ones that usually capture a remarkable moment. Those moments can then be compiled as a method of historic review in the future, especially in many professional organizations. Therefore, an organization that utilizes photography as a method of visual communication develops a set of historical moments.
