Visual metaphor
A visual metaphor is a pictorial analogy. It illustrates a comparison between what is in the visual, including its' connotations and denotations with another thing and its' meanings figuratively.[1] For some visual metaphors the link between the images and what they're being compared to is the physical similarity while others it is the conceptual similarity.[2] There are similar interpretations of the visual metaphors but each person can comprehend them a bit differently.[3] There are different types which include: spatial and stylistic. They are also commonly used in advertising because of its' ability to persuade.
