The reverse is true, too: the higher the position, the more distant the item. Everyday experience confirms this. Other fundamental principles include <SPAN>overlapping</SPAN> and <SPAN>proximate color contrast</SPAN>, the latter a component of <SPAN>atmospheric perspective</SPAN> which holds that items closest to us will be characterized by the highest color contrasts, of both value and chroma (or saturation).</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7AC27234-B778-422B-86C4-4897AAA4325A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
