Juxtaposition and Class activities

This is the 1st class exercise.Where I have to match the words at the left side and the words at the right side.Then after matching the words, i write short simple sentence and illustrate it.


This is the second exercise, where we illustrate the words we combine, and explain the meaning of the words through picture.The left image is Ice Water, the middle image is Dog Spider and the right image is Oil Head.


This is the 3rd exercise, where I show how merges go wrong.Even though the merges of elephant and cat can be so weird and impossible but still it can look good and it can still survive.


This is also the 3rd exercise where i express life through candle, happiness through kitten, love through chili and pain through ice cream.



Candle - Symbol of life
Life is like a candle, once you lit it up and the wind blow the light it will dim. But when there's no wind it will be very bright, same goes to our life. When you face a problem you'll be sad and you're days will be dim, but once you don't face any problem, you'll be happy and you're days will be bright.


Kitten - Happiness
Kitten is like happiness, when you see it you'll be happy, once you play with it you'll be happy. It bring happiness to our life


Chili - Love
Chili is spicy, it can sometime make us cry.But without chili, food become tasteless.Just like love, if there is no sadness and no crying, it will be boring.


Ice Cream - Pain
Ice cream is pain, although it tends to give you pleasure it can also cause you pain. When you decide to swallow it fast it will cause you brain freeze and even if you too keep it in you mouth for quite sometime, you can feel the pain creeping in your mouth.

Juxtaposition 2

Juxtaposition Part 2

In this part of the topic I will still discuss about Juxtaposition but more details are put into it. In juxtaposition, the change of meaning will automatically happen, from something that is familiar to something that is less familiar. And this where the action between left brain and right brain take place.

During the lecture, the lecturer talk about Analogy.Analogy is branches to two different topic, that is Metaphor and Simile which links to Juxtaposition.

What is Metaphor:
A metaphor is when something is use to represent something else.If two ideas are compared, and there are obvious similarities between them, that is not consider as metaphor.Metaphor is usually created when two different thought are joined together in a creative ways.Usually metaphor don't use as or like.
An example of metaphor :
"Life is a journey" quoted from English forum

What is Simile:
Similes use as or like

In juxtaposition, there are two types of analogies:
1. Logical Analogies
2. Affective Analogies

1. Logical Analogies
When similarities are used in design, function or structure which it can connect back to the subject. This is what we call logical analogies.
Example: "the comparison of the whale and a submarine, where both can dive to great depths but still need to surface for air." Quoted from lecturer's notes.

2. Affective Analogies
To resemble an emotion. As an example, animal are used to represent or to explain a certain characteristic of a person. It is mostly use in a conversation between two or more person.
Example: "he is like a pig (because he is lazy)." Quoted from lecturer's notes.

What is Juxtaposition?

Juxtaposition is known as putting two things, such as two words or two object side by side that show two comparison and by that people will start to generate different meaning, different idea or turning something that recognizable to something that is people can't recognize. Juxtaposition can also be define as arranging two or even more ideas, action, phrases or words beside each other for the purpose of doing comparison, and to develop a certain character.

Juxtaposition is use in making a film or a movie to expand the development of the storyline or the characters. Juxtaposition is useful to get more emotions, character values or treats and also images for the characters.

There are Juxtaposition(literally) which two text or object that oppose one another and there are also Random Juxtaposition which two random objects moving in parallel.

1.
The above image is juxtaposition between the microphone and the man. From my point of view the microphone looks like the spectacles for that man or it looks like the microphone is poking into the man's eye.
