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.

Why is that so?

Visual Clichés: Overcoming Clichés in Pictures

How many times have you seen the same globe visual used within a slide or even a picture of shaking hands? Or a picture of a phone operator, or even some people smiling while working in an office? And that’s precisely the problem. These pictures have been used so often, and they are so predictable, that the next time an audience sees those same pictures, they will be instantly bored. And that’s exactly what a cliché means. It means that these visual themes have been so over-used, that people are just tired of looking at them!
