Eureka

I think I may have stumbled onto an idea last night, I wasn't in the bath like Archimedes but I think the discovery is of equal measure to his water displacement idea!

After deciding to be more experimental in the way I created my logo, I went back to one of my original ideas of a logo appearing over time. I thought the idea behind a logo taking time to show itself to the viewer fit the overlying theme of 'forensics' and 'electrophoresis'.

I was looking at the 'dot logo' (2 posts below) and was thinking about how the circles appeared to be on different levels. This layering was created by applying a drop shadow, the bigger circles cast a larger shadow over nearby circles, creating the 'illusion' that they were on top.

I began to think about optical illusions and it suddenly dawned on me! I remembered staring for hours into the 'Magic Eye' books when I was younger trying to make the hidden image appear.

I've decided to investigate 'Magic Eye Illusions' and see if I can create one with the UKFSEG name inside.
