Dimension/Depth/Space

http://www.collider.com/uploads/imageGallery/Waltz_with_Bashir/waltz_with_bashir_movie_poster.jpg

This image is the poster for the animated film "Waltz with Bashir." It depicts space and scale using two-dimensional imagery with bold lines, and using only tone to show dimension of objects. Size perception is done largely using the combined familiar size of men and relative size to show distance and space. The buildings on the right side of the image use relative height gong towards a vanishing point. The central man in the image blocks the vanishing point of the buildings, using overlap to show that he is closer in perspective. Some shadow convergence is used with the man farthest to the right. His shadow is cast on the surface of the water, giving an impression of dimensionality. The texture gradient of ripples in the water show the water's expanse and movement.
