Visuals play an important role in helping convey complex information by providing a visual representation. This makes it easier for the audience to grasp concepts and ideas.

Visual content tends to attract more attention than plain text, leading to higher levels of engagement from the audience. People are naturally drawn to images and videos, making visuals an effective way to capture and maintain attention.
