Anamorphic illusions are images that can only be truly appreciated from a certain vantage point. For my final major project of my National Diploma course, I experimented with anamorphic design as I thought it was extremely creative. Although it may seem simple, it is far more complex and is difficult to achieve a flawless outcome. A simple example would be road signs informing car users to 'SLOW' etc as the letters are stretched in height allowing people to read the text from far away. These are more examples which explore anamorphic type and image:
