Types of visual media

1. Photography - is the art, application, and practice of creating durable images by

recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by
means of a light-sensitive material.
Example:

2. Video - is an electronic medium for the recording, copying, playback, broadcasting,

and display of moving visual media. Analog and digital variants exist and can be
carried on a variety of media, including radio broadcast, magnetic tape, optical discs,
computer files, and network streaming.
3. Screenshots - Sometimes called a screen capture. It is an image of a computer
desktop that can be saved as a graphics file. The image then has to be pasted into a
document in a word processing program such as Word or into an image editor.
4. Infographics - is a visual form of presenting information, such as with charts,
diagrams or icons. The best way to reach your audience with this type of visual
content is through social media.
5. Data visualization (charts and graphs) -  is the graphical representation of
information and data. By using visual elements like charts, graphs, and maps, data
visualization tools provide an accessible way to see and understand trends, outliers,
and patterns in data.
6. Comic strips/cartoons - a short series of amusing drawings with a small amount of
writing that is usually published in a newspaper.
