Motion is created in this graphic by an implied motion of applied movement. The figure is repeated in a consistent form as a walking character. The figure walks and leaves an impression of its past movements. A continuous shadow is formed and blurred to indicate motion blur. Each body part is is moved according to actual motion. The arms seem to have been waving as the character moved forward.
The college basketball player above is perceived to be moving because of the diagonal positioning of her body. Imagine the same picture with the athlete standing perfectly upright. The sensation of motion would be diminished or lost as she would appear to be standing still. Diagonal lines are strong visual cues to be used to emphasize motion.
