Implied Motion in Design
I really like this example of implied motion in design. There are two ways that we can perceive movement in this image. First we can see that there are three separate groupings of ballerinas starting in the top left corner and moving down to the bottom right corner. This is implying that the same ballerina is moving across the page. Secondly, in each group there are three overlapping ballerinas. These overlapping ballerinas are an example of stroboscopic movement because the ballerina has appeared to move forward even though it has not. Both ways together show movement across the page because it forces our eyes to dance from one corner to another in a forward fashion.
