Visual Metaphor

A visual metaphor is used to transfer the meaning from one image to another. Although the images may have no close relationship, a metaphor conveys an impression about something relatively unfamiliar by drawing a comparison between it and something familiar.


In similar fashion to an apple representing New York, love represents Paris despite the fact that there is no direct relationship between the two.

"Does that make sense?" - Fred Bates.
