Optical Illusions - Photoshop Contest [36 entries]

Winning entry, with a score of:

63.5%

Contest goal:

Everyone has heard about optical illusions. An optical illusion (also called a visual illusion) is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a percept that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source. More info can be HERE.

Your goal is to design an optical illusion. It might be an existing one or a totally new illusion. Keep in mind that your illusion's effect should be clear to the mind and original illusions would be much better than known ones. Good luck and don't forget to add a sbs. Some examples of optical illusions can be found HERE.

Required level: 6+ or higher.
Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

wazowski: The examples @wiki are better illusions than the ones from the other link, imo ( 5 years and 3504 days ago )

Ressiv: This is a very wide subject. 25% of what is created on this site can be considered an optical illusion. The outcome of this contest can be unfair because of the variaty of options. ( 5 years and 3504 days ago )

It is hard to see at first, but the top floor is also the bottom floors. I don't know if this description was clear enough. :|
