Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 189 Op art experiment 1a: Inflated checkers, part of Deke's Techniques.
Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland. Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…This week is all about op art, that is optical art, the art of optical illusion.…If you don't know what I'm talking about just type in O-P-A-R-T into Google exactly as you…see it here, and you'll end up getting all kinds of hits, and you'll go, oh yeah, that stuff.…It's really trippy junk, and we're going to create it from scratch inside Photoshop.…So we're going to start things off with this checker pattern here, which you will create…and then we're going to turn it into this work of optical illusionary messiness.…
Doesn't it just hurt your brain to look at it? Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…Alright, here's our final piece of op art just so you have a chance to see it on screen.…We'll start things of by creating the checker pattern, and you do that by going up to the…File menu and choosing the New command.…I'm going to dial in a Width and Height value of 400 pixels apiece, so we're working in Pixels here.…The Resolution doesn't matter.…
