Description

This is what I call a "magic eye", based on those books where you have to unfocus or cross your eyes to "see" an image -- that would be otherwise invisible in the random pattern. I find unfocusing my eyes to "see" it comes naturally to me.... if you have a hard time, try this:

Touch the image with your finger. Then, very slowly, bring your finger away from the image (closer to yourself). Keep your "eye" on your finger, but when the image "snaps", try not to shift your focus to the image, but keep your eyes how they were while you were looking at your finger. >_< I didn't explain it very well. Okay, okay. If you have trouble, just get one of those "Magic Eye" books.

I made this about three years ago, in PhotoShop with some help from Illustrator. The letters (on the bottom) get a little lost, but I learned my lesson and will try to avoid similar problems if I ever do this again. Because of how I did the whole thing, there were only two "levels" of depth, background and foreground, and no gradient between the two, so there are no curves in the sense of depth. I'd prolly need some sort of 3D-type software to get *that* kind of an effect, and that's really much deaper than I would ever like to go.
