Scale and Proportion

Scale and proportion. Photoshop Illustration by Shakyetra Ashford. 17 September 2012.
Exaggerated Scale:
Is used to make something bigger than it already is.
Like the picture below there isn't a woman that has that big of a head in real life.

Surrealism:
Something that seems real, but is really a fantasy.
The picture below shows a baby in a human hand, but in real life a normal sized baby wouldn't be able to fit in the palm of a hand.
