er, I don't really see any, you know, illusions.
were you going for that 3 progned deal?
because all I see are constructable objects, except for the three left-most legs match the color of the upper most wall, but I wouldn't qualify that as an illusion as much as a design flaw.

the concept is cool, but the execution needs more work for this to really work, you know.

The letter S is the only one that matters.

great concept...but i agree that it could have been pushed a bit further

The N at the end looks backwards, I'm a stickler for such minor details. Nice presentaion and a great idea.

yes! awesome!

i think it's interesting how it gives the illusion of not being possible at first glance, but really most are constructable. and i can see that you spent a lot of time on it, so i disagree with anyone who says your execution is off. 5$, for the burgundy.

the illusion is that the world illusion is clearly readable as flat typography yet all the letters are on different planes and stuff. It looks pretty good.

I agree with maccha. This isnt terribly impressive, and I dont see any real "illusion" effect. Nothing special, I could do that in photoshop in 5 mins.

kinda cool, but it would make you look like you your chest was caving in

5 minutes? thats impressive! to me it looks well thought out; it would take some time to produce that

looks nice on the model

very cool, but bad colors

If the illusion is not apparent then perhaps the viewer has the attention span of a mayfly

comments about how long it might take the someone else to do the same design in photoshop aren't really a critique and are therefore meaningless

I like it, but the backwards n bothers me a little also

its an uppercase N... the diagonal stroke just doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the right staff

thanks for the comments!

i think some people are confused as to what constitutes an illusion.

this looks great.

i'd like to see you try.

Look at how the N interacts with the L's. There's your illusion. Nice job.
Petanca

very cool and a lot more complicated than it might seam to some int he first glance (considering some of the comments I've read)

Nicely done, don't listen to the haters. Reminds me of Asia tour tshirts from the 80's, but in a good way.

That's really cool. I love optical illusions, though it's not totally clear where the illusion is at first. It just looks like 3-d letters. But I really like it.

i was thinking, if you did a gold version, you should add some bullets at the end of every point that travels offwards on your shirt.


(i thought i'd add in my own ridiculous comment to disregard, to counter "i could do this in five minutes in photoshop")

shiny, foil-y gold!!

Don't listen to the No Designs Of Their Own haters; if it were so easy, they'd have a dozen subs for all to look at... This work looked challenging to me.
