Create Depth with Size + Blur

Created by Steve Minor, Modified on Sun, 5 Oct at 3:05 AM by Steve Minor

Objects that are farther away look smaller and a little blurry. You can use this to 

fake 3D: make background shapes smaller, softer, or faded—and front objects 

large and crisp. 


� Make background objects smaller → Right-click → “Format Picture” → Add soft shadows or reduce 

transparency to simulate distance.
