Question: Describe your understanding of communication.
In ancient times, cave men used various signs and symbols engraved on the wall to serve as a means for them to document and effectively pass on information from one individual to another. Overtime, communication has become refined to suite today's generation. Communication enables individuals the opportunity to transmit information from a sender to a receiver, so as to gain an interpretation or an understanding.
Moreover, communication can be described as either verbal or non-verbal and can be achieved through written, oral and visual interactions. It can also be acclaimed that communication can be deemed as either effective or ineffective due to the medium and how the receiver perceives or interprets the message.
To illustrate, a common place game called 'Chinese telephone' is a demonstration of how communication can either be effective or ineffective. If at the end of this game the first message remains pure through transmission by word of mouth; then the communication is rendered as effective. However, if the first message has been reconstructed and does not remain pure to its origin after word of mouth from one party to the next, then communication is deemed ineffective.
In conclusion, as a digital media student, communication means the ability to creatively and effectively help individuals to understand my ideas and concepts. Our role as designers is to maneuver ways that aid in communicating ideas to a wider audience. Communication then, means for practitioners in this field that they become adept at translating concepts so that people can understanding whatever they set out to achieve. Being able to do so effectively will enable me to have a carer built on progress where I can climb up the corporate ladder. Hence, with hard work, dedication and good communication skills, this will enable myself and others in my field to achieve our goals.
