Shady Ovals Optical Illusion

Step 3Creating the Ovals

Creating the Ovals
The ovals are the main attraction in this optical illusion.  They are the focus, so the whole effect of this visual trick is made manifest through them (even though the background and the ovals are equally dependent on each other to produce the amazing end result).  The ovals can be easily created in Photoshop as well. 

Open up a new Photoshop project and select the "Default Photoshop Size" preset option.  Then enable the "Eliptical Marquee Tool".  Make six ovals that are all equal in size (about one inch wide and a half inch high).  Then fill them in with "Simple" blue gradients.  Make them black and white using the same method as was done with the background.

The six finished ovals should look similar to the ones pictured below.  Print them out.
