Optical Illusions

Research Optical Illusions
Optical Illusion
An optical illusion (also called Visual Illusion) is characterized by visual perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a perception that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source. There are three main types: literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make then physiological ones that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type(brightness, color, size, position, tilt, movement) and cognitive illusions, the result of unconscious interferences.

This task is for us to create our own optical illusion artwork, then I did more research, and there is optical illusion photography as well, then I thought to give it a try on photography cause I'm studying photography.

These are my photographs

Buddha

There are 4 people in this pics, the rest 3 people are behind the first one. 

 Cuddle 1

 Float and Read 1

I shot this when the model jumped up, model had to have a peaceful expression.

Most of optical illusion art is made by Illustrator Vector, so I created my own optical illusion art by Vector

Optical Illusion 1

Optical Illusion 2

I added different effects on both of them. 

Process, The Base

I drew loads of stripes and 5 circles in Illustrator, then used different effects in Illustrator to do those 2 optical illusion art.
