Graphic shapes and atmospheric lighting really help create the drama and the wonder of the animal kingdom. Our home scenes also reflect that magical quality by imbuing the warmth and joy we feel with our loved ones. The design may look flat, but we really pushed the depth with z space, blurs and atmospheric lighting.
