There is no word (the world without words)

I’ve been thinking about ‘image-based or screen-based generation’ and visual culture, but not quite sure whether it could be suitable for our debate or not. The way of life and culture is moving from words to images, and design might be occupying center of those issues.

Whilst I’d like to say not only about pictures but also ‘Blissymbolics’ and ‘Ideograph’ as like sign to figuring out how human perceive images or signs as communication. I’m wondering how we can communicate each other in the future.

I found some interesting example ‘text without type‘.

Whilst I’d like to say not only about ad but also ‘Blissymbolics’ and ‘Ideograph’ as like sign to figuring out how human perceive images or signs as communication.

And I think good or successful ads should not be necessary using words or interpretation. It should transmit its meaning clearly without words and should be understandable through all people. A few years ago, when I saw some ads of Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival, I found some of those ads which were difficult to understand without translation or background. Is it necessary to translate?

If anyone has any opinions and suggestions, please share with me.

Thank you all
