Shady Optical Illusion

Step 2Creating the illusion

Creating the illusion
This is extremely easy to create by using a drawing program. I used Photoshop CS3, but that is entirely unnecesssary. MS Paint is sufficient for this. I will show how I did it in Photoshop.

First of all, open a new project and select the rectangular marquee tool.

Then using that tool just create a rectangle that fills one fourth of the blank project. Fill this in with a very light shade of blue (light cyan specifically). Using the next lightest shade of blue (pure cyan), do the same thing. For the third and fourth quarters of the project, use the next two lightest shades of blue in order (dark cyan and darker cyan respectively).

Now the project can be saved and printed. After printing, cut away the white border around your project. This will eventually enhance the effect of the illusion.
