Geez, that's pretty nice stuff.

Now, I wonder if anybody knows where I can go to get a sweet pair of shoes, without having any spam-like advertising shit up the rest of my daily internet reading experience.

Felice Varini, Giovanni Fontana, Andrea Pozzo ...

Let's not pick nits here. It's still all very nicely done, exacting work. Just enjoy it.

These are great... Freight train graffiti deals with this painting over multiple surface areas in order for it to be viewed as flat straight on... ... good show.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all of the positive comments. Obviously to anyone who is saying we ripped off Felice Varini and George Rousses etc you are right we used exactly the same process as they to do create their works which is called anamorphosis. I am not afraid to admit this and have immense respect for Varini in particular, especially for the scale of his works. However the whole idea of this project was to find ways of incorporating typography into architecture and vice versa and ultimately led to the idea of using the technique and message to challenge to conventions of 2D graphic design. We took the process of anamorphosis and applied it to typography, something which I had never seen done before. We spent a long time testing and working out exactly how to do it, no-one told us how to or gave us instructions. We are designers, not fine artists like Varini and Rousses - their concepts and ideas are completely different to ours and ultimately that is what should be focused on.

wel in Antwerp there is a structure at the 'theaterplein' where the same 'revolutionary' process of incorporating typography with architecture was used.
You can find some pictures

If it's an empty box, call it an empty box.

If you look at the clip, the 'J' in 'More than Just..' is moving. In the beginning it's one tile away from the edge of the wall, as it zooms out it's two+ tiles away.

If you say optical illusion, you're an idiot! =)

I find emotion and interest in many of the works here, originals or not. What I do not understand is this senseless discussion of who did it first and what is original. Let's not be naive: all works have influences and sometimes the first to use a concept was not the one that created the richest artworks. I really enjoyed the works here. Keep exploring and implementing.

You like your new projector. We get it. Enough already.

I've seen it sooooo many times already. It all looks the same, really.

Good work guys :)
What is the harm in taking inspiration/using methods from some of the greats, that's what a lot of traditional artists do anyway don't they?..
Besides, you've still got your whole degree to experiment and explore new things..
Hope you're well!

George Rousse. It's not exploring or implementing anything, it's just the same.
