How to Create a Moving Image Optical Illusion

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD7">How to Create</span> a Moving Image Optical Illusion<br /><br /><br /><b><span style="color: blue;">Ever notice how sometimes images can play tricks on you? In today’s tutorial I will demonstrate how to create an optical illusion that appears to move, even though in reality, it is standing still. Let’s get started!</span></b><br /><b><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b></span></b><br /><b><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="color: red;">Tutorial Details<br />Program: <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3">Adobe Photoshop</span> CS3<br /> Difficulty: Beginner<br />Estimated Completion Time: 1 Hour</span></b></span></b></span></b><br /><b><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b></span></b><br /><b><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="color: red;">Step 1<br /><br /><br /><b><span style="color: blue;">Create a new document with dimensions set to 1280px by 800px.<br /></span></b></span></b></span></b></span><br /></b><br /><div><b><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.orkut.co.in/Interstitial?u=http://lh5.ggpht.com/_gftTL1HWmoc/TDDTZWqDqYI/AAAAAAAAAYw/5Y8zP_gYoUA/1.jpg&t=ALet-32riSE1QAqFqH0CPWqYGMzmRSDt9hVF6BHPOhTLLepkcou6qJpV89btnA5JBcIcq4CgFTjFWubyjMexdr4Egu0z4qwcLwAAAAAAAAAA" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_gftTL1HWmoc/TDDTZWqDqYI/AAAAAAAAAYw/5Y8zP_gYoUA/1.jpg" /></a></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></b></div><b><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="color: red;">Step 2<br /><br /><br /> Hit CMD + R to enable rulers if you don’t have them turned on by default. Make sure they are displaying pixels. Create a new guideline every 50 pixels both vertically and horizontally. You can create them by going to View > New Guide or by clicking on a ruler and by dragging it onto the canvas. If you prefer to use a dialog box then you’ll have to turn it on several times and simply type in values starting from 50px to 1250px in case of vertical guidelines and 50px to 750px in case of horizontal guidelines.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://www.orkut.co.in/Interstitial?u=http://lh4.ggpht.com/_gftTL1HWmoc/TDDTZVIKT_I/AAAAAAAAAY0/QbGwA_lXcX8/2.jpg&t=AEtX3JKF9XPyOWc1yAKHeDC1y1qK_3CHkRVF6BHPOhTLLepkcou6qJpV89btnA5JBcIcq4CgFTjFWubyjMexdr4Egu0z4qwcLwAAAAAAAAAA" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_gftTL1HWmoc/TDDTZVIKT_I/AAAAAAAAAY0/QbGwA_lXcX8/2.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><b><span style="color: red;">Step 3<br /><br /><br /><b><span style="color: blue;">Fill the background layer with #564734 using the Paint Bucket Tool (G). Grab an Ellipse Tool (U) and create an ellipse on a new layer (hit CMD + Shift + N and Enter to create a new layer). My ellipse has 46px by 34px including a 3px black and white border. So, I’d recommend something that has between 43px by 31px at first but it doesn’t have to have exactly these dimensions. Its dimensions don’t make a huge difference but your ellipses have to be placed close together. Large gaps will produce poor results.<br /><br /></span></b></span></b><br /><div><b><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.orkut.co.in/Interstitial?u=http://lh4.ggpht.com/_gftTL1HWmoc/TDDTZuUJOZI/AAAAAAAAAY4/zVAa_Mu25Vo/3.jpg&t=ANe3IyWnS2RoI-2NswmtJAR-YAoPdueMJRVF6BHPOhTLLepkcou6qJpV89btnA5JBcIcq4CgFTjFWubyjMexdr4Egu0z4qwcLwAAAAAAAAAA" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_gftTL1HWmoc/TDDTZuUJOZI/AAAAAAAAAY4/zVAa_Mu25Vo/3.jpg" /></a></span></b></span></b></div><b><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="color: red;">Step 4<br /><br /><br /> <b><span style="color: blue;">Double-click on the thumbnail of your layer with ellipse and apply the following style. Turn on Stroke. Change Fill Type from Color to Gradient. Change Angle from 90 degrees to 180 degrees. Click on the gradient bar and a <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD6">new window</span> should pop up. Create two additional indicators in the middle of the bar. Set first two indicators to white (#ffffff) and the last ones to black (#000000). Also enable Color Overlay and change its color to #564734 for instance.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://www.orkut.co.in/Interstitial?u=http://lh3.ggpht.com/_gftTL1HWmoc/TDDTZxLvrpI/AAAAAAAAAY8/hfIrZIDKZxU/s640/4.jpg&t=AAp8mp72og2q5k07TlfHQNNdoWH49LXEMhVF6BHPOhTLLepkcou6qJpV89btnA5JBcIcq4CgFTjFWubyjMexdr4Egu0z4qwcLwAAAAAAAAAA" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_gftTL1HWmoc/TDDTZxLvrpI/AAAAAAAAAY8/hfIrZIDKZxU/s640/4.jpg" /></a></div><b><span style="color: red;">note: the above image size is not so big so please Download it to view it clearly<img alt="" border="0" src="http://static1.orkut.com/img/smiley/i_smile.gif" /></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></b></div><div><b><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></b></div><div><b><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: red;">Step 5<br /><br /><br /><b><span style="color: blue;">Now grab the Ellipse Tool (U) again and create a new layer above your previous layer (hit CMD + Shift + N and Enter).

Circles and ellipses seem to work the best but rectangles or squares would do the trick as well<br />.<br />2.Each shape should be lighter on one side and darker on the other. This could be a black and white border like in my case or just a gradient with any color as long as there is a visible contrast between them.<br /><br />3.You can put something inside the shape to make it more detailed.<br /> Your image should consist of many similar shapes and each one has to be really close to one another.<br /><br />4.Your image should be large enough so that it makes your eyes constantly move.<br /><br />5.You can create just about any pattern from these circles or ellipses.<br /><br />6.You should rotate your shapes step by step so that their darker sides (black in my case) are right next to the lighter ones (white in my case). It is very good idea to rotate each circle a bit (like 15 degrees or 30 degrees). If you don’t rotate them it should still work fine but it would ‘move’ vertically or horizontally.<br /><br />7.Other than that you won’t get this kind of effect or it wouldn’t be as much observable.<br /><br /><br /><b><span style="color: red;">How Does This Effect Work?<br /> <br /><b><span style="color: #008400;">When we look at the image below, our brain tries to convert it from 2D to 3D. This is because the borders around the ellipses are inconsistent. This confuses us and creates an illusion of movement.<br /><br /><b><span style="color: red;">Final Image<br /><br /><b><span style="color: blue;">Take a look at the final image below.<br /><br /></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></b><br /><div><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: #008400;"><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: #008400;"><b><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.orkut.co.in/Interstitial?u=http://lh6.ggpht.com/_gftTL1HWmoc/TDDUI1TKWqI/AAAAAAAAAZg/zzKAJjaRxxI/final.jpg&t=AFNzs0_HJNOEPlsoQwfKY465OdAeJ_qkWBVF6BHPOhTLLepkcou6qJpV89btnA5JBcIcq4CgFTjFWubyjMexdr4Egu0z4qwcLwAAAAAAAAAA" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_gftTL1HWmoc/TDDUI1TKWqI/AAAAAAAAAZg/zzKAJjaRxxI/final.jpg" /></a></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></span></span></span></div><div></div></div></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></b></div></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></span></span></div></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></b></span></b></div>
