I would recommend that you conduct a metaphor brainstorming session on your topic and then list the criteria that are important and narrow the list down. When you do the metaphor brainstorming, you'll come up with ideas that you can use when you work with a visual designer. The other things you can do is have some in-person or online braindrawing sessions. I would be happy to share a bit more about these techniques offline if you are interested or post a few more details.
