Juxtaposition?

By definition in composition, the placing of verbal elements side by side, leaving it up to the reader to establish connections and impose a meaning.
These verbal elements (words, clauses, sentences) may be drawn from different sources and juxtaposed to form a literary collage.


So simply stated, juxtaposition means things side-by-side. In art this usually is done with the intention of bringing out a specific quality or creating an effect, particularly when two contrasting or opposing elements are used. for example "it is the result of the juxtaposition of contrasting colors", contrasting those 2 colors brings about some effect.... brings out some emotion, or recognition, etc.


There are many of good juxtaposition posters around, but this time I'm gonna share some of billboard juxtapositions that have been making companies and causes look dumb for years. here are some examples.
