He's taking a design class and needs to come up with 10 pictures for each category. His word is "head". Here are the instructions:

Word and Image Relationship: A visual idea can be described as a pictorial response to an abstract thought or problem. By merging words (type) and images (pictures), a designer can create articulate messages to engage a view or convey information. This can be accomplished by messages to engage a viewer or convey information. This can be accomplished by skillful manipulation, interpretation, and possibly juxtaposition of words and images, literally or figuratively, to suggest or imply a specific or desired meaning. Denotation: literal meaning or dictionary definition Connotation: associations connected to a certain word or the emotional suggestions related to that word. Symbolism is the term used to describe the art of practice of using symbols. A symbol is a thing standing for or representingsomething else, especially a material things taken to represent an immaterial or abstract concept. An example of a symbol is the American flag (a material object) that stands for a untied group of people-a country (an abstract concept).

So, I'm thinking a literal head, as in on a person or animal, head of state (the presidential seal), head of a company...and we're just at a loss. What sort of image would you think of when you think of Head..the connotation of the word head.

Thanks so much. He's normally really good at his projects, but he's just drawing a total blank here. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
