45. Illusion of Motion by Blurred Outline

Blurred images of a object, or blurring of the background against the object, creates an illusion of motion. In this image, the car appears to be in motion because while the car is crisp, the surroundings are blurred.

43. Anticipated Motion

Anticipated Motion occurs when an image captures a moment in an action. It gives a feeling that something is happening or about to happen. The BMX rider in the above photograph is in motion. This is emphasized by the diagonal lines the bike and rider make, creating a sense of action.

41. Multiple Perspective

When an image has more than one view point of of object simultaneously, this is called Multiple Perspective. M.C. Escher’s drawing “Relativity” displays staircases and figures from many different vantage points. This method creates perspective confusion in this image.

40. Amplified Perspective

Amplified Perspective is achieved when an object is directly pointed at the viewer and immediately grabs attention, giving the picture a dramatic emphasis. In this image, the boot is emphasized by being brought closer to the viewer’s eye. The model’s leg creates a line that extenuates this effect of the focal point “pointing out”.

39. Illusion of Space by Linear Perspective

Illusion of Space created by Linear Perspective involves parallel lines which, as they recede, converge towards each other as they approach the horizon. In this image, the lines created by the river-side buildings on either side of the river appear to close in, giving the perspective of spacial depth.

38. Illusion of Space by Aerial Perspective

In Aerial Perspective, or atmospheric perspective, the illusion of space is captured by the use of value. The farther away an object is, the closer the value is to the background; the closer it is, the greater contrast of value it has to the background. In this photo, the depth of field is emphasized by this same method. Because the foreground and the tree have a darker value and therefore contrast against the background and foreground, they are assumed to be the closest to the eye. The foreground almost fades into the mist, so they are further.

37. Illusion of Space by Vertical Location

Vertical Location is a spacial device which occurs when the format of the image or the elevation on the page indicates the depth to the viewer. The lower the object, the closer it is assumed to be. In the above photo, the footprints descend further away as they appear higher up on the image.
