Initial Perception Poster Design


What Are You Looking At?

Here is the initial poster for my FMP concept on perception. The main focus when I was creating this poster is to make it difficult to stare at for too long which I think has worked pretty successfully (See if you can stare at it for more than ten seconds without your vision getting blurred).

Scanimation

Kinegrams , which are now popularly reffered to as Scanimations are a special form of animation containing six frames. I came across this technique as I was researching into different forms of illusions. It creates not only the illusion of movement but a whole animation which appears to make the image move. In other words, it's using papers specially designed to create an animation instead of it being shown digitally which I think is not only amazing but exciting to watch more so than a digital animation. This works by placing and alligning an acetate overlay which is usually black and containing vertical stripes over a specially prepared image and moving the acetate paper from right to left.

Op Art

The Op Art movement started roughly around 1964 and mainly pioneered by artist, Bridget Riley. The word Op is short for Optical and the art created to go along with this is usually in a geeometrical form which I've realised is common with optical illusions, because many shapes placed in a certain order can create something bizzare to the eye. Many Op artists do create their work with focus on illusions and perceptions which is easily noticeable if we look at common optical illusions today, the link between the two arts is very strong and similar. I plan on experimenting and creating my own Op art based on artists such as Bridget Riley and Frank Stella to name a few.
