Depth

This design gives a great illusion of space and depth due to the varying textures, sizes, shadows and colors. The more saturated colors appear to be closer in proximity to the astronauts while the diluted colors create distance. Additionally, the amorphous shape is overlapping the black background, giving it dimension and an atmospheric perspective. The astronauts are also significantly smaller in size than the textured area, which generates an illusion of depth. Furthermore, the single focal point is also the source of light, which not only allows into the viewer into the design, but also casts different shadows to intensify the depth of space.
