juxtaposition images

 

Chimera- A horrible or unreal creature from the imagination. I chose these images because they both portray terrifying monsters that are scary in their own way. The one on the left is looking at you which is intimidating and the one on the right has fangs and is distorted. I turned the "I" in the word chimera into a slash or dagger so as to make the image scarier. 

Hynogogic- Vivid perceptual experiences occurring at sleep. I chose these images because they are both surreal and imaginative. They look dreamlike or like they derived from the subconscious mind. I chose to flip and mirror the word to make it seem like more of a play on the subconcious. It symbolizes reality from the unreal. I changed a couple of the letters within the word to different typefaces to make it more dreamlike and attract an emphasis to the center of the page.

Elude- To avoid or escape. The image on the right shows a woman smelling a rose and her mind escaping. This is symbolic of escaping into her own imagination. The picture on the right shows a serene place in which one could go to escape or avoid something, or to simply be alone and at peace. I chose to make the letters in the word look as though they were escaping by falling off.

incongruous- Ridiculous, absurd, out of place. The image on the left already had censor marks across the man's body. I chose to include them in the picture on the right as well so as to balance out the images. These pictures are both absurd and inappropriate because these people are naked in public. I split the word up into 2 parts to play off the whole "out of place" definition because the 2nd half of the word is literally out of place.

muse- To meditate on; to dream. I chose the picture on the left because the woman looks at peace and as if she is still pursuing her dreams even at her old age. She seems as thought doing ceramics is meditative to her. The picture on the right is surreal and dreamy and seems as though the woman is lost  fantasizing in her own dream world. I chose the typeface because it seemed calming and dreamy to me. I chose to add an ellipse at the end as if to say that there really is no end to muse.
