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 associate or transfer meaning.

Definition: A placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side as a juxtaposition of words.  


Example:
 <<----unfamiliar
 Aim : ( cute )














<<---familiar

--> The act of juxtaposing is to place two objects or word next to each other. When 2 things post side by side, your brain try to figure what is the relationship between these two?

--> What automatically happen is that there is transferences of meaning. Usually from something familiar to something less familiar. ( What is the relationship? Or the meaning or the similarities? )
