Thinking in visual metaphors

It can be hard to find the precise visual metaphor for an idea.
The hair color one isn't quite there. Sure, hair color is like paint color. But painting with a hairy brush? The copy doesn't help: how is brown paint 'natural'?  (Sometimes the copy does help.) The Lego ad makes its point instantly and unambiguously. No copy required.

Trying to teach this and do this at work right now. Lots of examples by googling "creative ads".
