This entire post consists of images pulled from one of the most amazing blogs on the internet, 50Watts. I attempted to share images that related, at least in part, to atmospheric perspective as well as share this amazing website and these amazing illustrators. Sometimes, illustrations, with their greater sense of economy and need to communicate effectively, are fantastic to look at for quickly gleaning how certain aspects of visual grammar can be put to use. Enjoy!
