We talk about the power of verbal metaphors to quickly capture and communicate key points to a listener. This month, I would like to direct your attention to the power of metaphors in cartooning, which you most often see in the op ed columns of newspapers. While you are likely not in the political cartooning business, this article by Anto Mario in Toons Mag may spark ideas for how to incorporate cartoons as metaphors into your PowerPoint presentations when you want to
- Communicate the value of your services
- Position yourself in the market
- Explain complex processes
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a cartoon metaphor must be worth volumes more!
