Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition in illustration is described in the learning text as the putting together of two objects so as to suggest a relationship.  The exercise required making a book cover illustration using two or three relevant elements showing a connection or relationship.  I elected for the viewpoint option maximising my wide-angled lens with perspective.

Meet "The Woodsman"!  The juxtaposition of the wooden sculpture with the focus on the axehead with the trees in the background shows a connection between what could very well be a mythical character, his environment and his tool in hand.
