Vizuele

Vizuele is a term encountered in visual design discourse, especially in Dutch-language media, used as a stylized variant of visueel, meaning visual. In practice, vizuele functions as a label for the visual dimension of a project, marking imagery, color, typography, and composition that convey perception and mood. It is commonly used in branding, design education, and critical writing to foreground aesthetic decisions alongside content and interaction.

Linguistically, vizuele reflects how design language adapts standard terms to evoke contemporary sensibilities. While not a standardized academic term, it appears in industry discourse, online media, and course materials as shorthand for visually oriented thinking.

In application, vizuele spans graphic design, user interface and experience design, photography, video, and multimedia installations. Practitioners may refer to a "vizuele strategy" or "vizuele language" to describe a coherent visual system, including color palettes, typography, imagery style, and layout rules that guide perception and brand recognition.
