Sensory Images
Sensory images refer to a series of ideas and/or representations that are directly related to the senses. That is, any form of representation, whether by text or images, seeks to represent that idea related to one of the five senses.
For example, if a literary text is used , it will be a challenge for the author that through the words he uses, make the reader able to capture in his mind a representative image of what the text itself raises; Said images can be of an olfactory, gustatory, auditory, visual and tactile type.
So, within the literary genre, these types of images are used to develop, from the creative use of words, sensations of beauty and possibilities of new forms of expression related to the same idea. If this type of sensory images is used within the advertising industry, what will be sought there is to generate certain psychological triggers so that the consumer reacts to what the advertising campaign itself wants.
Words have the ability to express ideas and images that are unpredictable for handling sensory images. There is even a term that is coined as “visual poets” to those who have the ability to establish an effective link between the written word and the production of a visual discourse.
What these types of talents do is look for the right combination of words that allow them to develop those images that they require, giving them a dimension of the proper meaning they want. Thus, for example, it is expressed in phrases such as: “music of the autumn wind”. Whoever reads that phrase will “hear” that melody.
