Motion/Movement

http://backspace.com/notes/2003/04/design-against-the-war.php

This image is a poster for an organization for families who are opposed to the war and have relatives in the war. Implied motion in this image comes primarily from line style. Lines contribute to movement in 2D artwork. Artists add lines around things if they are supposed to look like they are in motion. In this image, for example, lines are shaky, giving the figures in the image a living quality. Diagonals, such as the woman's arm and the slight diagonal of the crutch in the man's hand also indicate motion. Even if the figures in the image are not meant to look like they are moving, the lines and direction in the image still give a sense of movement.

This image is a promotional poster for the film "300." The film was revolutionary in its use of digital movement, and this comes across in the poster. Although the background is a flat, monochromatic surface, the overall effect is still dynamic. The font used for the "300" in the image is splattered at a slight diagonal across the image. The person in the image was probably moving while the picture was taken, but even just the expression on his face and the angle of his head and body indicate movement. The words "prepare for glory" are set at an angle and surrounded by more splatter. The apparent randomness of this splatter effect gives a sense of implied motion to the image. A viewer's knowledge of how splatter is created causes a feeling of speed and urgency to the poster.
