Visual depth creates the illusion of physical distance perpendicular to the viewer between objects in an image, or moving image. Depth is a fundamental principle of Design . Visual depth exists in both representational compositions and non-representational compositions.

How to Create Depth

• Make objects overlap
• Things that are closer appear darker and in focus
• Objects of the same size will appear larger the closer to the viewer they are and smaller the farther away they are
• Use Atmospheric-Perspective to show depth
• Colors become more subdued and muted the farther away. They are and become more saturated the closer they are
• Linear perspective can help show depth
