What’s a metaphor? Let’s take a trip over to DevLounge and find out! The article came out today and was my first for DevLounge. It was a difficult topic to wrap my head around but definitely gave me some things to think about the next time I’m looking for inspiration or out of the box concepts.

Here’s what I cover.

  • Extended Metaphor
  • Paralogical Metaphor
  • Iconic Metaphor
  • Color as a Metaphor
  • Mixed Metaphor
  • Dead Metaphor
  • Synecdochic [si-nek-duh-kee] Metaphor
