A new offering from Counter-Print popped into my inbox and it is right up my alley. It’s called Optic, which takes a look at the field of Op Art, surveying optical effects in graphic design and to help distinguish their various forms.
In ‘Optic,’ we delve into the mesmerizing realm of optical illusions, highlighting their impact on graphic design. The book is divided into sections such as Periodic Structures, Interrupted Systems, Relief, Impossible Objects, Diffusion, Illusory Contours, Figure-ground, Proximity and Isometric Illusion. Each section showcases the unique forms and techniques employed by talented designers to create breathtaking visual experiences.
