Optical Illusions

An optical illusion is an image that makes you think one thing, but in reality it actually the opposite. Like seeing two pencils are different heights with one longer and the other shorter but when you put them side by side, they are the same height. This is similar to something we did on Monday May 5th 2015.

We started making optical illusions using Photoshop. On Monday, we started by taking an image, putting it in Photoshop, then we stretched it vertically upwards, then we stretched the top two corners stretched horizontally left and right. After that we printed the picture. The day after that, we made a grid on the piece of paper with the image on it, after that we got a second piece of paper, to make another grid on it. to copy the image on. We then drew the image on to the second piece of paper and then colored it. Then we cut part of the paper so that the image looks like it's in 3D. And finally for the finishing touch, we added a shadow under the image to make it look realistic.
