"What did you do, Ray?!" --- "...it's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man."

This will be a quick session regarding Scale Confusion, which is what happens when an object, figure or other element in the design is scaled in such a way as to create a juxtaposition to the other elements. See below.

Admittedly, the above paragraph could have been worded better.

The giant baseball bat in this image will jar the viewer due to it's size difference in contrast to the small people walking around it. (Unless you frequent Louisville and have since become desensitized to it.)

This effect is used to create dynamic designs and works of art that surprise or catch the attention of the viewer.

The cockroach in the bed is huge. Or, perhaps the bed and room are actually quite small, complete with microscopic shoes and books. In either event, this type of artistic device can be useful, and has been implemented in many art forms, from painting to advertising, to catch the attention of viewers.
