Principles of Design: Same as in the interrelationship of overlapping, but both forms appear transparent. There is no obvious above-and-below relationship between them, and the contours of both forms remain entirely visible. [Overlapping. If we move the two forms still closer, one crosses over the other and appears to remain above, covering a portion of the form that appears to be underneath.] [Wong, Wucius. Principals of Two-Dimensional Form. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold Company, 1988.]
Spatial Effect: The spatial situation is a bit vague, but it is possible to bring one form above the other by manipulating the colors. [Wong, Wucius. Principals of Two-Dimensional Form. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold Company, 1988.]
