3D effect on a poster

Hi All,

I am totally new to this site, but wow you guys rock.

I am a comedian in South Africa who does his own posters and fliers (for 10 years but still struggling)

My new show is about feelings/perceptions (Mark Sampson Feels Funny) and I'm going for my face set in an optical illusion style hypnontic spiral.

Any ideas how to make this striking from a distance so my head appears to be almost coming out at you!

So far I have google images of some crazy spirals but an effective 3D looking overlay of my head shot is way beyond me.

Thanks you and sorry for the waffle
Mark

Hi Mark, welcome to TG :)

This is not a very serious attempt, but all the same...
Attached is the .xar file.
What you want goes way above my knowledge :o , so I
hope somebody else can help you.
Cheers,

Well it certainly made me laugh. Thank you.
Had no idea I would get an actual demo and so fast!
This is an amazing community.
Now I understand how you guys operate I will post components and my feeble attempts next week.
Cheers
Mark

Maybe something along this line:D

Thanks for letting us play with your face. :)

Hi Mark
I attach a concept interpreted from what you wrote. If you had a higher resolution headshot I could add it and give you a image to which you could add your own text. The spiral background is something I made so you would not have any copyright issues.

That is getting close, sorry I've been silent, I had to run the show.
It went well. This is the image I used.

Needs to be as tunnel/vortex as possible with some sense of depth as I am ment to be flying out of it.

I will lower myself so you can see the centre of the vortex but it really needs something special to be eye catching on A1 posters on lamp posts from a distance.

The problem is seeing the background, feeling the depth and movement but keeping my face large.

Thanks, you guys are amazing!
Mark
