I do love optical illusions. However, there are quite a few "Optical Illusion" websites that show semi trucks that are painted to show a cool 3D effect. These pictures are circulating the internet and people are amazed at how good they look.
Am I the only one who realizes they are the exact same picture, only Photoshopped with an image inside? They don't even try to make it different. Same sky, same truck, same tree, same wall, same stretch of road. Now that the cat is somehow out of the bag, it stands to point out that these are not optical illusions at all. It's deleting a section of a photo and superimposing another. It's more like a Photoshop tutorial.
Somebody learns the perspective tool in Photoshop, and all of a sudden people start drooling over these amazing pictures. If you want to see something cool, check out some REAL examples of a REAL artist doing this for REALAlso, this would be an awful marketing campaign. Let's take my example of a truck carrying a gigantic Billy Bush.
People driving behind the bus (Where 90% of the people who actually look at this thing will be) will see this:
Now, to pull this illusion off, we would need to discard of any valuable real estate that would normally have helpful pieces of information, such as Company name, phone number, or federally required safety placards. Commuters down I-75 would be subject to a skewed image if Billy Bush's already skewed head.
So, in spite of this, this truck keeps popping up all over the internet gussied up in all sorts of different 'paint jobs' to show the same effect. All I ask is that the perpetuaters of this internet craze to please, delete these pictures from the internet, burn your computers, and pay me restitution in the amount of $25,000 per occurrence.
-or-
Be a man and stop pretending that it's real.
And to use another picture of a truck, for crying out loud.
3D Truck Pictures... I hate you.
