Implied Movement


This advertisement is an example of implied movement in type. The type is altered to look as if the poster is bent. Although it is 2-D design, the altercations made to the type cause the viewer to relate it to an example of a bent poster they've maybe seen before. The artist made the image look realistic in the sense of a piece of paper that was bent out of shape, which implies a sort of movement. Although it's not actually moving, it implies movement to the viewer due to the relatedness in it's movement of type.



The image above is a 2-D design of a person "balancing" the earth on their finger. This is an example of implied motion because we are able to relate this image to one we have probably seen before and are familiar with which is someone spinning a basketball on their finger in order to balance it. The rings around the earth that are shown imply that it is spinning due to the implications we have made that if there are rings around something that should move, it is indeed moving. The fact that it is being balanced on a finger simply adds to these implications that the "earth" is spinning on the finger shown. 



The image above also shows implied movement mainly due to the fact that a small object (the Lego piece) is standing still in the foreground as the image of the taxi is in the background, blurred. The blurred effect of the the taxi implies to the viewer that it is moving.
