37 - Illusion of Space by Vertical Location

Vertical location is a spatial device in which elevation on the page or format indicates a recession into depth. The higher an object the further back an object appears.

In this the bars are at an angle giving us vertical location. Because the smallest bar is higher up on the page it gives a sense of depth. This idea gives us a foreground and background. Due to this there is a equal emphasis to all parts of the image.
