Week 6

Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition means arranging two subjects, ideas, characters, phrases, or words side-by-side to create comparison, metaphor, suspense.

Juxtapostion is used widely in literature, film, photography, and arts to create contrast, opposing emotions, abstract concepts, or characters traits.

Random juxtapostion is a technique used to stimulate creativity when two random objects moving in parallel. A problem to be solved will be one object, and a randomly chosen object/concept will be the other object. A completely random stimulus is juxtaposed with the problem encountered. The resultant association between the two highlights the side track.


This is a example photo that show juxtaposition:
