Project #5 Title - Optical Illusion
Optical Illusion
To make this optical illusion I started making concentric squares that span accross the entire canvas. I made a second layer to this first one, which is also made up using squares. The user is able to change the color of both the first and second layer by moving the mouse. To suggest movement I made the second layer or squares rotating once it is pressed. While the second layer rotates the juxtaposed squares of the first and second layer create different shapes.
Design Process & Sketches
I started this project with a different idea in mind, which I am still exploring and trying to make it work. I took a completely different approach into making this sketch to try to step out for a moment from the other project and start fresh. This sketch it is very different from my initial idea, but overall I am happy with the outcome.
Reflection
I think the final result of the optical illusion, while it rotates is interesting. I think it would be interesting to see what it would look like in a browser extension as a landing page, or as a filter to cover website pages.
