Visual Clichés: Phone Operator Pictures

We already looked at how you can overcome clichéd pictures, and we thereafter specifically looked at examples of handshake and globe pictures. Yes, those two visual concepts may be the most clichéd ones, but there’s yet another clichéd picture scenario – and that’s the picture of a phone operator! The phone operator is more often female than male. She has a big smile and looks at you while she is also holding a phone in one hand. Such pictures are often used anywhere people want to represent “communication”. So how do you overcome this particular cliché?

Visual Clichés: Clichés: Globe Pictures

Globes again on your slides? And why not? A globe represents so much, and just adding a picture of a globe can scream “international!” Maybe, that’s the problem and the cliché? Would it be better to use something else as a visual rather than a globe? Now these questions have “maybe” written all over them, and you really cannot expect to get simple “yes” and “no” answers, as in “yes, you can still use a globe picture”, or “no, you cannot”. Even then, we can still discuss and find solutions for ourselves, not through direct answers, but through introspection.
