Typography and Optical Illusion for New York Time For Kids

A couple of days ago I posted an article about some graphic design explorations using lines and other simple elements on a grid, like plus signs or dots. There were tons of really awesome ideas, however all of them were very abstract. One could ask me, how can we apply that to a real project. For my surprise, – Sawdust – had the answer right in my face. They posted a typography project on Behance titled: “Cover typography for The New York Times for Kids”. The project consists of 12 optical illusions created with lines with different stroke weights, as they mentioned: that will leave you feeling dizzy.
