Gear Cog Experiment


After looking at various images which created illusions with still images, I looked at which different parts of a bike could be used to recreate this effect. With this in mind I thought it would be best to focus on circular aspects, and when looking at a collection of different parts I decided that I found the gear cogs the most aesthetically pleasing piece. 

My next step was to recreate the object using Illustrator software, in doing this I was able to create many cogs. By arranging these overlapping each other and adjusting the opacity of certain cogs I was able to create a sense of motion within the piece. I was happy with this piece but I felt that I needed to look at other ways that cogs could be used to create illusions.
