Language is a way for us to communicate with one another whether it be with signs, symbols, or verbally it’s all considered a language because you’re either trying to communicate or trying to get a message across. Language it’s very different depending where you are at, Words could have a different interpretation than what you expected. Even symbols could have a different meaning. Language is heavily associated with design.

 I say that it’s heavily associated with design because with designs us designers are trying to get a message across or trying to get you to do or buy something. And we do this by using symbols, illustrations or pictures. These are all ways of communicating which are a form of language. Which is why Language helps shape design because essentially design is a form of communication and a way to get a message across so it’s basically a different type of language.

Language helps shape design but they’re things that designs can do that language can’t. And the most important of those things is making the understanding of what you are trying to say a lot easier. Sometimes verbally it’s hard to get a point across or for someone to understand what you are trying to say but design makes all that a lot easier, with the way we incorporate things to get our message across whether it be with the symbols, images, or whatever else it’s just a lot simpler to understand.
