Juxtaposition


Juxtaposition is two things put next to each other to provoke thought or create humor. In this photo that I found, two advertisements are in juxtaposition with each other. The ad above is intending to raise awareness for childhood obesity, while the ad below is promoting McDonald's. These two images are contrasting because McDonald's food is very unhealthy and can cause obesity. It is humorous because even though the the ads contradict each other in such a glaring way, they were placed one on top of the other.
