Dimension...Depth...Space

Depth and dimension are shown in this vintage airline advertisement poster. The airplane is the closest object to the viewer, while the bridge and the building beyond it are the farthest away, showing depth. Dimension is also shown in the poster with the use of two vanishing points. The use of two vanishing points can be seen when looking at the buildings in the foreground. The use of tone also implies depth and dimension. The buildings in the forefront have more distinctions between different tones, while the building beyond the bridge blend almost into one tone. The lack of tone distinction in the buildings beyond the bridge shows depth. It is clear that the light source is coming from the right side of the image, casting a shadow on the left side of the buildings adding dimension.
