Visual metaphors

We were asked to choose from the following phrases; Reaching retirement, Dreams of romance, Broken relationship, Censorship of the press, High achievement and Economic catastrophe, to produce an image of a visual metaphor.

We were also asked to collect some examples of images that depicted our choice. I decided to work on the phrase 'Broken relationship'.

I looked at many articles online, and chose a few of what I considered to be the best pictures used to illustrate the phrase.





It was suggested that we made a spidergram of words associated with the phrase. I found this quite difficult!

What stood out most to me was sense of two people being separated by something - an issue etc




The final image. I think if this was worked on illustrator/photoshop with a decent font, it could work really well.
