Juxtaposition 2

Juxtaposition exercise: placing two random words together and deriving meaning out of them.

OIL AND WATER

Oil and water can't mix

in order to make Oil and water one i made my own compound called H2Oil

 LIGHT AND TREE
There's a light on that tree

 FLY AND HEAD

There's a fly on his head





LION OSTRICH!!!


Okay juxtaposing just got out of hand,i mean what on earth is this!!! a lion ostrich,interesting indeed...however disturbing it may seem,creativity has way of opening doors for discussion on subjects such as these,like say for example being a combination of mammal and bird makes you wonder if it would lay eggs,not only that,what does this lion-ostrich taste like?or is it still carnivoroes...hmm i wonder.

ELEPHANT SPIDER!!!

What happens when the biggest land mammal decides to have kids with a spider?...well if you asked me a few days ago,i wouldn't have been able to answer that question.Well fortunately some crazy elephant out there decide to give us the answer and here it is the Elephantspider.I just keep on asking myself does this fancy gobbling up flies and if it does how many does it need until it gets full.!!!

THE KITTEN!!!!

Just when i thought our lessons and assingments couldn't get anymore twisted,we're told to turn an innocent picture of a kitten into something ditsurbing and will send chills down someone's spine!!!
i love to think of this image as the image of a mentally disturbed kitten...what can it do?what will it do?why does it do what it does???? Freaky i tell ya!!

Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition


Juxtaposing is the act of placing two objects together in order to compare and contrast the two objects or deliver more meaning to something.Juxtaposing is commonly used in advertising to enhance meaning to a product,say if an extremely beautiful young lady was placed next to a sports car the entire meaning of the sports car and a person's perception would change.
Marlboro often uses well built handsome men in cowboy outfits to enhance 
there advertising

The smoking hot young lady on the car makes our perception of the car
different


Juxtaposing involves placing of to images side by side.the brain automatically tries to derive understanding of a relation between the two images.
MY HOT CHILLI POEM!!!

Love like a chilli

Like smooth hot chilli,so is our love.
The burning sensation with each bite reflects the passion that we share,
through rain and storm,our love shines bright red 
fearlessly battling the tests of time and fluently preserving it's aroma
and just like the chilli's smart tip points forward,
our undying union will march on forever.

Mind Mapping!!!!

Mind mapping is a tool used in idea generation that involves building on a subject using other subject that are directly or indirectly related to the central ,main subject.It was designed by Tony Buzan

A logical mind map involves branches that are all directly related to the central subject while an associated mind map involves generating random words that seem to have no connection to the the central subject.

Logical mindmapping exercise
Using the skill of mindmapping on a classmate i was able to draw fairly accurate facts about there characteristics as a person.


From the above mindmap i concluded that Nana is a quiet and reserved person that mostly loves time to herself.She loves her mum and has a close relationship with her,i drew this conclusion because she still uses the ninckname her mum gave to her when she was little.She also loves RnB music which is a soft genre of music,this i deduced,shows that she really loves her quiet time.Being the last born in among her 3 siblings made me assume that she is well taken care of a lot back at home and therefore explaining her preservative behaviour in public.
She also loves food (don't we all),and takes an interest in seafood,sushi in particular,seafood is known to stimulate ones brain and so i also guess she's a deep thinker.Role playing games are her favourite kind of video game,she plays 'the sims' in which the player assumes the role of a member of a family or,from Nana's point interest,the family head.I came to understand that she is responsible and loves the idea of a family and can't wait to start her own.To sum it all up, Nana has a soft personality and loves to be taken care of or in my words "She's AWESOME"

Mortar and pestle

Using the assoiciated mind map of a mortar and pestle i came up with these ideas for the possible use of the tool long ago...i chose "power","suffer" and "Talk"

POWER
In the year 1206,it was a common practice for the African people to use thMortar and pestle as a symbol of power. Leader would wear the mortar on his head and the pestle as sort of a royal staff.These were their crown jewels

SUFFER
Long ago people in societies would punish wrongdoers by forcing them to eat the mortar and pestle,usually by swallowing the whole!!!


TALK

In earlier years when very few wors existed,the mortar and pestle.Sounds created by banging the mortar on the pestle in a rythmic way provided meaning for expressions that could not be put in words....the man above is asking his colleaguthe toilet is!!!!e where
