Dimension/Depth/Space/Scale

         This is a very interesting and unique design. If you cant tell, the wall in the center of the image is actually wallpaper. The wallpaper sets up an illusion which when applied to a wall will make a room look larger. The designer used relative size, linear perspective, and depth cues to achieve the effectiveness of the wallpaper. As you can tell the objects closest in the image appear to be larger than those in the further background. By changing the size of the objects in the wallpaper the designer successfully makes the room look larger because objects closer in distance look relatively larger. Another way the designer enhances the distance of the room is by using linear perspective. He or she makes the lines of the room converge as they reach a farther point. A larger convergence indicates a greater distance.
