We can very quickly create a great number of optical illusions with the help of the VectorScribe plug-in. The optical illusion, based on two triangles, is indicated in the figure below. You’re free to choose whatever forms you like. The basic for blend object should not necessarily be in square shapes. Keep the upper square selected, go to the Effect > Convert to Shape > Rounded Rectangle…, select Relative, set 0px for the parameters Extra Width and Extra Height, then set the Corner Radius. Since we only use live effects to create Op Art, we can continue to play with the forms. For example, you can set the value of the vertical and/or horizontal shift in the Transform Effect dialog box then click OK. Now you can continue experimenting with the effect’s parameters.
The basis for our optical illusion is created. Experiment with the angle for this effect and tick the Preview option to observe the changes taking place. Now go to the Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform…. It can be easily done in the Layers panel. Select the Specified Steps from the pop out menu and set the number of steps which fits our intentions. Keep the blend object selected and go to the Effect > Pathfinder > Exclude.Ĭlick twice on the Blend Tool (W) icon on the Tool panel or go to Object > Blend > Blend Options…. Select both squares, then go to the Object > Blend > Make or use the shortcuts Option/Alt + Cmd/Ctrl + B. The center of the second square matches the center of the first square. Take the Rectangle Tool (M) and create a square of any size with black fill and with no stroke.Īnd now create a second black square, which is smaller than the previous one. If you want to publish your artwork in the web only, then choose the RGB color mode.
If you’re planning to print your optical art, choose the CMYK color mode. In the opened dialog box ,set the parameters of the artboard and choose the color mode depending on how you want use your received image. Start Adobe Illustrator and create a new document (File > New…). Op Art, also known as optical art, is a type of art that started being popular in the second part of the 20th century it uses different optical illusions based on the features of perception of planar and spatial figures. Topics Covered: Blend Tool, Transform and Pathfinder live effectsĪs always, this is the final image that we’ll be creating:.It is much easier than it might seem at first glance. You can receive many variants of such artwork by changing the parameters of the effects. Today we will learn how to create an optical illusion by using simple geometric forms, the Blend Tool and Live Effects.
