When you think you've explored everything, remember not to overlook the small elements.
Usually, we focus on the big picture, but it's the tiny, often unnoticed details that can make the biggest difference in our visual thinking process.
Everything around us is composed of both large and small elements, and by paying attention to these smaller components, we can uncover new perspectives and connections.
Think about it: what if we zoomed in on a tiny detail, making it the centerpiece of our exploration?
By enlarging and magnifying it, we allow ourselves to see things in a new light, opening up possibilities that we might have missed at first glance.
The key here is the power of shapes and connections.
Visual thinking is about relating one thing to another, no matter how different they seem at first.
Once we recognize the underlying connection between shapes, we can find metaphors that relate to seemingly unrelated objects or concepts.
This approach opens up a world of creative opportunities for problem-solving and storytelling.
Now, I invite you to take a moment and play with the idea: what would you place inside this cage? What phrase or keyword would you associate with the metaphor that emerges from the shapes you create?
This is just one of the many techniques I teach in the Visual Thinking Membership, where we dive deep into the world of visual metaphors. Whether you're looking to enhance your creative thinking, develop a more intuitive approach to problem-solving, or simply explore new ways of communicating, this membership offers tools and insights to help you grow as a visual thinker.
