Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition refers to the stimulation of creativity in problem solving, design or other creative pursuit by confronting two unrelated concepts of objects , usually the goal or problem to be solved on one hand and a randomly selected object or concept on the other.

For example,

Step 1:

Flower Head
Lighting Rain
Ice Wood
Light Tree
Fire Spider
Duck Root
Dog Mountain
Oil Wind
Leave Rock
Fly Water

Step 2:
Choose 3 pairs of numbers from 00-99

And I chose 13, 89, 00.

Step 3:
1 Flower 0 Head
2 Lighting 9 Rain
3 Ice 8 Wood
4 Light 7 Tree
5 Fire 6 Spider
6 Duck 5 Root
7 Dog 4 Mountain
8 Oil 3 Wind
9 Leave 2 Rock
0 Fly 1 Water

Step 4:
13 = Flower + Wind
89 = Oil + Rain
00 = Fly + Head

Exercise 1:
Create a sentence by using the two random words
1. The flower drop from the plant because of the wind.
2. I was carrying the cooking oil while running in the rain.
3. The paper fly over my head.

Exercise 2:
1. The flower drop from the plant because of the wind.

3. The paper fly over my head.
Exercise 3:
