Using metaphors in new brand design
Article Abstract:
Products need a brand image and metaphors can be used to plant the image of the new design in the mind of the consumer. Brand teams focus on pictures or objects, such as cups, paintings or fabrics. Metaphors are applied to the objects and the thought processes involved are quite random. The team thinks broadly about the product's cultural, visual and tactile qualities, and the brand image is built up gradually using these techniques.
