Disrupting Cliché Icons: Unleash Creativity in Visual Thinking

I'd like to share a couple of tips for avoiding clichés by incorporating disruption:

 

In this metaphor, there are three disruptions you can utilize when drawing cliché icons:

 

  1. Blend your clichè with something else and explore the inside: What elements can you incorporate?

  2. Place objects out of context: Think of something unexpected or impossible. For instance, what would a person be doing inside a pill?

  3. Experiment with disproportionate sizes (such as significantly larger or smaller elements, like the tiny person).

If you're interested in mastering Visual Thinking through metaphors without resorting to clichés, you can enroll for a limited time on my website.

 

Thank you,
