Motion


This here is a cool example of motion and graphic design by an artist named Norway which I found from Flickr. The original picture features an actual person which the graphic designer photoshopped to make it appear like there is an invisible person wearing the outfit. Despite the lack of appearance of the 'person' who is doing the movement, you can clearly see here that a jumping 'person' is depicted in the image. You can tell that the 'person' is jumping up because he is raised off the ground as indicated by the shadow cast on the floor underneath the body. You can also tell that the 'person' is not standing up right. He is in all sorts of diagonal movement looking at his raised arms and bent elbows, the torso angled at somewhat 30 degrees and his feet/tip of his toes pointing away. There is definitely a lot of tension going on to suggest movement as well such as the multiple folds and wrinkles on the jeans and the t-shirt.And if you observe closely enough you will notice how the shirt is raised up slightly rising along with the movement of the body, wind going up against the shirt as he jumps.
