Dimension/Depth/Space/Scale

I think this poster does an excellent job at depicting the illusion of space. We see multiple things overlapping each other and this tells us which objects are closer to us, and which are further away. For example, everything is overlapping the Parcs sign, which tells us that the Parcs sign is the furthest thing away. The relative size of the people also depicts the illusion of depth. The people in the back are smaller and thus further away than the larger and closer people in the front. Relative height is also apparent in this poster. All of the people are below the horizon line, and the people higher in the field of view, such as the people in the back, appear farther away. Finally, linear perspective, such as the converging parallel lines on the field, depict the illusion of depth because they converge as they get farther away, with greater convergence indicating greater distance.
