Richard Wiseman put up a nice color illusion on his blog not long ago. Yesterday, he posted a varition. I decided to give it a go myself.
After reading some of the comments on Mr. Wiseman’s blog, I decided to do it as a vector graphic and I saved it as a gif. I also played around with different thicknesses for to turquoise stripes and the space separating them. In the image displayed, the stripes are 2 pixels wide and are separated by a space of one pixel. Although the point of doing it as world map was to take advantage of familliar conventions, I’ll probably play with different color combinations when I have time. Though maybe I won’t. My color theory class years ago just gave me one big headache and convinced me to not major in art.
