Gears, Chains And Social Media

This photo of a complex arrangement of gears (cogs) and chains makes a great visual illustration of the workings of social media and networking. If one gear fails to perform it can affect the entire group. This is also a basic tenet of teamwork. When we hear that idiom "like a finely tuned machine" this is what we think of. The complexity also adds an element of vulnerability, a chink in the armor so to speak. 

Complex Cogs 

Complex cogs, or gears, can represent big business, governments and a wide variety of organizations. Any entity that relies on numerous individuals or parts to co-operate and achieve a common goal utilize the same workings as the intricate arrangement of gears in this photo. This is a photo of the engine of industry and can be applied to everything from factory operations to the workings of the inner mind. It is a metaphor for society, for business and even for personal relationships. Technology is yet another concept illustrated here.

Gears As Visual Metaphor

The gears in this visual metaphor vary in size  and type including sprockets and chains. The background is a large section of metal lending to the industrial feeling of the image. This is an image of "The Inner Workings" of whatever is indicated by the accompanying headlines and text. There is a plentitude of copy space and the image can be cropped to vertical, square or horizontal.
