Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition is the placement of two things (usually abstract concepts, though it can refer to physical objects) near each other.

The art of juxtaposition simply means combining features or parts of 2 or more things, which could be anything, such as animals, objects, and also humans. The new combination would be unique, however it carries properties of its components. It is as if the DNA of things has been changed and new genes are added to them.If you have watched the animation "How to train your dragon" you could clearly see how widely this technique is used in designing all the dragon characters. The main dragon character "toothless" has the eyes of a cat, wings of a bat, skin of a reptile, and it looks like a lizard. Sometimes it is pretty complicated to break down the character to its individual components, since it could be made out of so many things.
