Dimension/Depth/Space/Scale

According to Dondis, “All visual elements have the capacity to modify and define each other.  In this photograph, the viewer can get a relative idea of how large the car is because of what is around it. In Dondis’ words, “Scale can be established not only through the relative size of visual clues, but also through relationships to the field or environment.” Depth cues also provide an indicator of space, how large something is, and how close it is.  Overlap is present in this photograph; the car overlaps the jet, and the jet overlaps parts of the building and trees. This would be considered a retinal image.  Relative size and height are also indicated through the use of different objects; in this case the jet. We know how large the jet and car are based on familiar size as well. The viewpoint being from at a higher location also helps indicate the size. The space inside of the garage/hangar is shown through the juxtaposition of the car and jet inside and how both are not touching the walls. Lastly, linear perspective is present through the narrowing visual.
