In-Depth Information
ents separates them from the surface and introduces the illusion of spatial depth and a
sense of changing rhythm. A larger chunk of type, for example, appears closer than a
smaller one, while a lighter element appears to recede into the distance. A texture ap-
pears to flatten out because perception of its shape and uniform value determine its spa-
tial depth more so than its components. A line appears to come forward regardless of its
weight, although a heavier line comes farther forward than a narrow line.
