The guys over at ZevenDesign published an extremely useful article a while back that covers 8 methods of creating depth in art, photography and film. They present some great examples and go into great detail about the various methods;

• Depth by Atmosphere
• Depth by Colour
• Depth by Linear Perspective
• Depth by Light
• Depth by Shadow
• Depth by Solidity
• Depth by Focus
• Depth by Movement

Depth by colour is the perception of depth created by colours. Warm colours appear closer to the viewer while cool colours appear farther. The opposite is true against a white background.

To learn about each of these methods in detail and begin applying them to your own work, you should head over to ZevenDesign and check out the blog Creating Depth in Art and Photography.
