Juxtapositions
In the picture above, it's clearly showing us that there is a contrast. Building with a car (left) and a normal building (right). Both are the same object or entity (building) but contrast in characteristic or appearance. This picture is one of the good example for juxtapositions.
Juxtapositions - synonymous with contrast, two objects or texts that oppose one another (wikipedia)
Juxtapositions also can be seen from literature and movies.
Example :-
"In *American Gangster*, Steve Zaillian juxtaposes two present-day narratives separately starring the two main characters on the opposite sides of the law. Only in the end do the cop (Russell Crowe) and the criminal (Denzel Washington) finally meet, and the startling resolution is achieved."

Metaphors
from Carmichael Lynch, Minneapolis for Harley-Davidson
A metaphor is an analogy between two objects or ideas; the analogy is conveyed by the use of a metaphorical word in place of some other word. For example: "Her eyes were glistening jewels".
Metaphor also denotes rhetorical figures of speech that achieve their effects via association, comparison, or resemblance (e.g., antithesis, hyperbole, metonymy, and simile, which are all types of metaphor). - wikipedia
To simplify, a figure of speech in which an implicit comparison is made between two unlike things that actually have something in common.
