How to recast a cold idea in warm terms

Don't get sidetracked with the joke here, this reality version of Photoshop communicates, without words, what a powerful software program Photoshop is. This idea of recasting a cold subject (software) in warm terms (boxes and cups of paint) helps the reader think about the subject in another way. Next question: How can I use the idea of substitution in my next project? Thanks to cartoonist George Coghill for pointing me to it.

I see you've tracked down the original creator's Flickr page for this photo, I am going to update my post as well.

I really like what the 'reality Photoshop' advertisement says without using almost any words. Good stuff.

Super cool. Always good ideas and interesting things to explore at your blog, Chuck.

Thanks Gina. To stay competitive we've got to maintain the radar.
