Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition
is the act of positioning two elements side by side to show similarity or contrast of these elements to draw attention from viewer.

In my point of view, if two element is place side by side, it will certainly make either different or similarity, just it is not easy to understand if didn't use the element correctly. And the most easiest way is to use picture to show juxtaposition.

The picture above shows a young woman and old man, as you can see
Its juxtaposition using those two element to show contrast.

When a tricycle is park beside a motorbike, there created another juxtaposition, once again, it show similarity as both is for people to ride on.



Misplaced Juxtaposition sometime can make another different meaning. For example, Yahoo! adv. combine with 404 can lead people to think yahoo = error.

*important Positioning Is the Key!!
