Language is the universal arbitrary and generational medium of communication that every person uses to deliver a message. Language can vary depending on many different factors and can be as mutable ( that has been or can be modified) or immutable. It’s a speechless speaking action that loses its freedom once a large group or society takes over it. In comparison with other forms of communication, the origins of language and its transformation are completely unpredictable.

Another form of communication related to language is symbols or icons. Symbols can mutate or change like language, and their impact can become universal and cultural once a mass starts to use it enough. Like any other medium, it has to be learned to understand its message. Sings are signifiers for its development where it can stay static and preserve the relationship with its meaning or idea expressed. This makes signifiers easier to be employed in general communication and graphic communication like a male or female restroom icon indicator or even a strong design that delivers a function regardless of not using words.

This success has been accomplished by the continuous evolution of this medium. It has changed design historically by its impact on people’s principles or beliefs like politics or even religion. Making design to shape mindsets according to the message being transmitted. Knowing this connection we can say that design can accomplish things that language cannot, for its ability to connect in a universal way. However, it doesn’t discard the trait that design depends on language as well, which can be noticeable in today’s culture. Design will go around the context of language to ensure its cultural impact I.e, gen Z language is not the same as millennials, and understanding this guarantees an easier outcome.
