Inktober 2024: Using Exotic Concepts for Unique Metaphors
Here’s a new tip that might help you generate ideas for the Inktober challenge.
When we talk about exotic things, you can use two techniques to create metaphors that allow you to explore unusual concepts.
Let’s remember that something exotic is extravagant, rare, strange, unusual, or infrequent.
Try one of these two:
1. The first is the "out of context" technique: you place something (an object, person, or animal) in an unusual location where people don’t expect to see it.
2. The second is substitution: you replace an object, person, or animal that you expect to see in a specific situation with something else that takes the place of that predictable element.
For example, instead of seeing a dog, you replace it with a pigeon.
This technique creates disruption by breaking the predictable, and it's a great way to capture attention.
