This t-shirt design by Francis Minoza shows implied motion because of the heavy use of diagonal lines. These diagonal lines give the viewer a sense of movement through the illusion of continuity. At the top right of the design, the lines seem to lead off the shirt, giving the viewer the idea that the lines continue even off of the shirt. The use of texture within the design is also another element that helps to convey implied motion. The texture the lines give the design create dimension and offer an impression of motion. The design plays with the viewer psychologically through the use of continuity. The design also effects the viewer kinesthetically because the sensation of motion when looking at the striking shirt. The tension and rhythm of the design also plays a large part in the success of implied motion. Tension is represented through the striking contrast of white and black forms coming together. Flowing rhythm is represented through the repetition of lines and the organic nature of what the lines represent.

This poster by Dirk Fowler constitutes implied motion through repetition, rhythm and shape. The emphasis in this design is in the fish motif. The repetition of the fish in a wavy, water-like shape creates the illusion of motion. Because of the color used, the viewer registers the fish motif as being a symbol of moving water. The continuity of the motif also lends to implied motion. The end and beginning of each line of fish are placed in a direction where it looks like one line leads to the other. The alternating colors of the lines create an illusion of depth and dimension. In real life and representation art, an example of this phenomenon is the depth perception cue of atmospheric perceptive. Darker colored objects appear closer, while lighter colored object appear further. In this case, because it is non-representational and non-objective, the dark blue fish seem to be further away than the light blue fish, this variance gives the illusion of dimension, making it easier for the viewer to interpret implied motion within the design.
