Illustrations rely heavily on metaphors. How do you depict something intangible? When a client needed to illustrate the different stages of a software development project, we chose a toaster to carry the message.
This had two benefits. First, a toaster is easier to draw than software! Second, the whimsical representation of the product gave us a chance to make the illustrations more playful, and hopefully more fun to look at. The appeal to the viewer's imagination increases the likelihood the message will leave an impression.
