Visual Grammar

I do believe in visual grammar since there is no such coinccident that everyone from different cultures and countries can have the same definition interpreted from an image or a sign. There must be some agreements that accepted the whole wide world. We can see it clearly in instruction manual of technological products, or in any city map. Those agreements are grammar rules for visual communication, it obviously help audiences have the aorrect interpretation or at least very close to the correct one.

Here is an example of Japanese Origami technique in which we can clearly see the importance of the arrow symbol. That is the visual grammar and apparently it helps us to be able to follow and understand the instruction.
