439 Orthogonal pattern 2: Which way is up?

- Hey gang this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…This week, I'm going to show you how to create…another orthogonal pattern in Adobe Illustrator…and I am calling this guy, Which Way is Up?…And the idea is that if you look at it long enough…any given row can be coming out at you…or receding away, and this becomes even more apparent…if we can see the edges of the rows.…For example, in my case, where the second row is concerned,…I see this green block as coming out at me…but then by the end of the row, I see the mustard block…as receding away.…

You may perceive things differently but in any event,…it is an interesting optical effect.…Don't you think?…Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…All right, here is the final orthogonal pattern…in which each and every row can be alternately viewed…as coming toward you or receding away.…I'm going to go ahead and switch over to this empty document…here inside Illustrator, and then I will zoom in…on the lower left corner and we're going to draw…a single side of an orthogonal cube as we have in the past…
