Using the Link with the Phonetic Alphabet

If you have a number, such as a phone number, you can transform it into a picturable equivalent using the phonetic alphabet described two posts back. You turn the number into an image or a series of images, then link them. The first item in the link should be a picturable equivalent of the person whose phone number you wish to recall. The picturable equivalent for the person can be a feature of the person's appearance or some version or part of the person's name.

For example, Mr. Szewczyk's phone number is 800 555-1202. His name is pronounced "chef-chick." One way to make a picturable equivalent of his name is to use a baby chick wearing a chef's hat as your standard image for Szewczyk. (Another would be to use the dimple in his chin or other physical characteristic as your standard "anchor" for him.)

Using the chick as the standard for Mr. Szewczyk, I link it to "faces," which represents 800 (the "f" sounds and two "s" sounds). I imagine the "chef-chick" cooking a lot of faces like pancakes, flipping them from a griddle.

To link 800 ("faces") to "lily whale" (555), I imagine hundreds of faces kissing a whale smoking a big lily.

To link "lily whale" to "tan Sony," I imagine the "lily whale" shining a tanning light on a Sony boom box, that is, giving a "tan" to a Sony.
