Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition is placing two variables side by side to compare and contrast their similarities or differences. It is used as popular approach in creative process.

There are two types of juxtaposition, literary and random juxtaposition.

In other words, many designers use Juxtaposition in their artwork to show contrast and to seek the target audience.

Photographers also use juxtaposition to bring balance to their photos.

Many literary works also use juxtaposition to further the plot and provide a sense of context to the events that occur.

Filmmakers juxtapose different forms of media in their films, such as pictures and music, to create images the viewer will not forget.

Examples of film that use juxtaposition is "A Clock Orange"
