I've had clients say, "Can't we do something more metaphorical and not so literal?". And I'm like, "Well, if you want anyone to understand it, no". lol <br><br>That said, you can go too far with a cliche and that's not good either. Two business men shaking hands, for example. In case anyone is wondering, yes I have used that stock photo before, but no more! :) Totally agreed here. I've had clients say, “Can't we do something more metaphorical and not so literal?”.
