Illustrating a Visual Metaphor

A Metaphor is an object that stands for another object. This photo is a weak attempt at creating a visual metaphor where a Typewriter replaces the young boy’s head.























When effectively illustrated, depending upon the syntax of how the person and the typewriter are configured, this “Typewriter Head” concept can convey that the Typewriter possesses the intelligence of a person…
























…or that a person thinks using the attributes of a Typewriter.

























This is a finished illustration for recent business magazine which incorporates the “Typewriter Head” visual metaphor.
