Anamorphic Images



An anamorphic image is one where you look at the image in a certain way (eg from a particular viewpoint or reflected in a mirror) to see the image as the artist intends. Examples: advertising images painted on sports pitches that appear to "sit up" and look at the camera; road signs that are painted very elongated on the road so that drivers see them more in the correct shape.
