Perspective

A Different Approach Using Approximation And Relative Scaling

Perspective is the illusion of three-dimensional space created in a two-dimensional image when objects grow consistently smaller as they move away from the viewer towards the horizon. This article will walk you through a method for setting up a calibrated two-point perspective in Illustrator. Our example illustration is a gallery reception where several famous iStock illustrators are displaying their creations. The exercise will teach you the technical side of building accurate perspective in Illustrator, and hopefully inspire designers by showing how useful these source images from the iStock vector collection are for filling your new perspective environment.
