I chose this picture which depicts depth, dimension, and space because as a design major I tend to be more focused on interior design and the layout of rooms. My mom is an interior designer so I grew up learning to love the colors, placement, layout, and pieces used to create a room. This room pictured here is interesting because at first glance, the people in the picture look extremely small but then you realize they are sitting on a couch. Because they are scaled and set much further back in the picture, the walls closest to us look much larger because they are closer to the camera. This is known as relative size, for the further away the people are from the camera the smaller they look. Depth is thrown off in this picture because since the same wall paper/pattern is used on every side, the walls look like they are shrinking further to where the people are. The dimension of the room is also interesting because from the camera angles you would think at first the back of the room is indeed smaller, yet the entire room overall is actually the same size. At first glance I wondered how the people could even fit into such a small place! But then after noticing the tricks of depth and dimension I figured out it was just an illusion and my perception was thrown off.
