SYSTEM BEGIN. INITIATING POST FOR THIS WEEK.
HELLO PUNY HUMAN RACE. TODAY'S POST WILL BE ABOUT JUXTAPOSITION. WHAT IS JUXTAPOSITION?
Well to sum it a a few words...
"Juxtaposition can be defined as placing two variable, side by side and their contrast or similarity are shown through comparison. Many creative processes rely on juxtaposition. By juxtaposing two objects or words next to each other, human brain will automatically associate or transfer meaning. Usually ‘turning’ something familiar to something less familiar or vice-versa."
Now that you know, let me show you an example given by Mr. Radzi on how this concept works. First, we were to choose 3 different numbers ranging from 00 to 99. Afterwards, he gave us two list of ten different words that later would become our Juxtaposition.
1st List
1. Flower
2. Lightning
3. Ice
4. Light
5. Fire
6. Duck
7. Dog
8. Oil
9. Leave
0. Fly
2nd List
0. Head
9. Rain
8. Wood
7. Tree
6. Spider
5. Root
4. Mountain
3. Wind
2. Rock
1. Mountain
And so, the numbers that I've pick is 19, 25 and 69.
19- Flower Rain
25- Lightning Root
69- Duck Rain
Afterwards, we were ask to make a sentence of the two words.
19- The 'Flower' was drizzled by the 'Rain'
25- 'Lightning' is the 'Root' of power
69- The 'Duck' flew through the 'Rain'
Then, Mr, Radzi asked to draw it these things again but fused together. Sounds easy but in reality, not that much.
After we're done with this activity, Mr. Radzi gave a little more insight on Juxtaposition on that sometimes the combination of two things doesn't turn out so well and is incompatible to be with. For example, this wonderful hybrid of a species.
The reason of this hybrid an incompatible fusion is that this animal itself will immediately die. Why? Well, first of all it's a fish and it needs to be the water. And since it's also a bird... Well, you get the idea. Both can't survive on the others habitat.
And after that, we were given time to draw out our own version of an incompatible hybrid. Seems easy enough but it isn't. It has to something that cannot survive with it's condition. And the idea that I came up with might not be but probably able to survive.
What makes this hybrid unable to survive? A very big and heavy head to fly around with and the fact that it. So yeah... probably going to be 50-50 chances to survive.
Moving on. Mr. Radzi gave one us last activity. This time, we will be given a Juxtaposition and we're suppose to come up with a passage relating to that certain Juxtaposition.
The first one, a 'chili' and the word 'Love'
'Maiden of absolute beauty'
'Sohot as well as spicy'
'And goddamn sexy'
'The burning sensation unbearable'
'Just desire for more and more'
'Unable to compremise anymore'
'So loving you as tasty as a red-hot chili'
So yeah... After that, we were given to make a choice and pick another three juxtaposition. And her they are...
1. 'this thing' with 'Life'
'Life is lit in a moment'
'Time past by, slowly ever slow the flames smaller ever small'
'And the tip it starts, now at end'
'Light out, life no more'
2. 'this thing' with 'Happiness'
'Time ticks and time tock'
'Anytime when and anytime how'
'Either at AM of in the PM'
'Happiness is sure be around'
3. 'this thing' with 'Man or Woman'
'A woman is like this goldfish in this picture. Looks timid and cute but can sometimes be fierce and scary'
(p/s: no sexism attended)

It was a fun week, able to do those drawings and a little poem and what not. Juxtaposition is an interesting technique to use in making new original idea. Well, almost...
Nonetheless, I've learn a lot in making this post and I hope that someday by using this technique, I could create a fresh, new and creative ideas in designing whatever I'm going to design in the future.
Till then, THIS WAS THE AI SYSTEM Muhammad Zulhilmi Shaharuddin, AKA MZbS, AND CODE NUMBER 1122700285. PROGRAM TERMINATED.
