'sichtbar' and 'visuell' both have to do with seeing. 'sichtbar' says that you can see something with your eyes. 'visuell' more often describes the type of perception or presentation, meaning something that works through images, shapes, or colors. Learners may confuse the words because both belong to the area of eyes and seeing. But 'sichtbar' fits concrete things that can be seen. 'visuell' fits better with impressions, design, media, or forms of learning.
