Morphology
The meaning 'transmission of information using visual elements' is directly and compositionally derived from 'visual' (related to sight) modifying 'communication' (exchanging information). This modifier–head noun pattern is regular in English and common across other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The term visual communication comes from the simple idea of using pictures, signs, and designs to share a message. The visual part is what you see and the communication part is the message, so it means 'sending information with images and design'.
