Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition can be defined as placing two variable, side by side and their contrast or similarity are shown through comparison. Many creative processes rely on juxtaposition. By juxtaposition two objects or words next to each other, human brain will automatically assiociate or transfer meaning. Usually "turning" something familiar to something less familiar or vice-versa.

Definition of Juxtaposition : A placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side,as a juxtaposition of words. The act of juxtaposing is to place two objects or words next to each other.

"When two things put side by side, your brain try to figure what is the relationship between these two? What automatically happens is that there is transference of meaning.Usually from something familiar to something less familiar."

(what is the relationship? Or the Meaning or the Similarities?)

Conflict between LEFT BRAIN and RIGHT BRAIN happens...

VISUAL PUNS

- Creating an artwork in which several visual form which look alike are connected and combined so as to bring out two or more possible meaningful. Visual puns are lower version of visual metaphor.

METAPHOR

- In a figure of speech in which two different things are linked by some similarity. Comparison that are obviously are not consider metaphor. Therefore, metaphor occur, when two different ideas are being connected in imagination and agreed to be dissimalarity at first.

SIMILES

- Using as / like

Example : Life is like cooking. It all depends on what you add and how you mix it. Sometimes you follow the recipe and at other times, you are creative. Life is like a maze in which you try to avoid the exit.

ANALOGY [two or more things agree in some respects]

- is a comparison of things that are essential dissimalarity but are shown throught the

analogy to have some simililarity.A form of logical inference or an instance of it, based on the assumption that if two things are known to be alike in some respects then they must be alike in other aspects.

Analogies :

-Logical analogies

[eg. A bird can compared to an aeroplane because both can move on air]

- Affective analogies

[eg. the Constructive worker are Hardworking as ant.]

Below are some pictures that showing juxtaposition :

Here the Church is juxtaposed beside a tall contrasting blue building

Juxtaposition allows the assessment in the overall achitecture of the city

There are three subject matters that are juxtaposed into this one frame; the clock, the modern skyscraper, and the old chapel. The juxtaposition creates a sense of time gap between the old and the modern. It's entitled "History", taken in downtown Chicago.

Bizarre juxtaposition, but it serves its purpose.
