3D Anamorphic Illustration
by SALSO Design Studio
What is the 3D Anamorphic design?
Anamorphosis is a distorted projection that must be viewed from a specific angle or with special equipment to appear recognizable. It’s used in art, photography, sculpture, toys, and film effects. The word is from Greek, meaning “back/again” (ana-) and “shape/form” (morphe). You can use valuable information on an anamorphosis Wikipedia page.
Given this introduction, when applying the anamorphic effect to produce a semi-three-dimensional look, the 3D prefix is used for anamorphic.
The core is one,
3D Street Art, 3D Street Painting or 3D Pavement Art
Implementing an anamorphic illustration by painting creates a 3D painting, similar to this image or the works of other 3D painting artists. For short-term events under a week, we typically use chalk, called 3D chalk art. For added durability, a paint finish can be chosen.
A key benefit of 3D painting is that the process can be demonstrated to the audience, primarily for events and exhibitions, to enhance interaction through live painting.
Use cases
- Interactive art in events
- Attraction in exhibitions
- Marketing events attraction
- Interior Design and Decoration
- Storefront and shop showcases
3D posters, 3D Floor Stickers, or 3D Wall Murals, or 3D Anamorphic Graphics
When creating an anamorphic image digitally and implementing it through printing, displays, or event projection mapping, the method remains consistent. All is a 3D anamorphic illustration, and the execution and surface combination are different. For example, this image is one of our 3D stickers in 2023, printed on vinyl and stuck to the wall and floor.
The process of this method is more straightforward against 3d painting because the result is precisely the same as the preview, and we have more control over the resulting image.
Use cases
- Interactive art in events
- attraction in museums, theme parks, and amusement parks
- marketing events attraction
- storefront and shopping showcases
- advertising billboards and posters
Anamorphic Graphics, Anamorphic illusions, or 3d graffiti
Sometimes, the illustration is just about lines, shapes, and simple graphics. It offers numerous capabilities for decorative ideas and signs.
In this technique, we can apply the image using different kinds of paint materials or even native color vinyl stickers. Select the material that is related to the surface texture of the wall and floor.
For heavy-duty applications, we typically use epoxy colors, as shown in this image, which is from our 2012 work in a mall’s parking lot.
Use cases
- Exterior and facade design
- Interior Design and Decoration
- Sings and urban design
- museum and gallery main attraction
Steps of the 3D anamorphic art projects
3D painting and street art
1. Choosing perfect sizing and medium based on your space dimensions and audience flow
2. Choose an ideal idea and concept based on the briefed information of your visual guidelines
3. sketching to find the best composition in two or three versions
4. main illustration for scaling in actual sizing and painting
5. Painting the illustration on the site project
Average project timing
Concept design: 1 week
Main illustration: 2 weeks
On-site Painting: 1 week
* Moving to your location for painting by our team or planning for the painting by other local painters usually takes 2-3 weeks.
* You can have the final illustration and a guide to painting if you can handle a local painter or artist to do it at your site.

3. sketching to find the best composition in two or three versions
4. main illustration for scaling in actual sizing and painting
5. Painting the illustration on the site project
Average project timing
Concept design: 1 week
Main illustration: 3-5 weeks
Printing: 2-5 days
* You can have a final illustration, a printable file, and a guide if you can handle a local printing service to order printing yourself.
* We consider a 2-week gap for the delivery if we do printing.
* In case of printing and installing by a third-party company, the timing depends on them.

Average project timing
Concept design: 1 week
Technical illustration: 1 week
On-site working: 1-2 weeks
* This technique is just possible to implement by our team, and the design file is not available because of precisely measuring the surfaces, and most of the design is done on the surfaces directly.
* just in case of a fabricated surface for this purpose, like a stand and a room, so that our design plan is possible to deliver design files to be implemented by other contractors or deliver cutting stickers.

* Painting can be done on portable canvas. It allows you to have the artwork movable, but for the best results, it is necessary to retouch the painting on-site. It just reduces the painting time and ability to clean the floor easily.
** It can be printed on any material; the vinyl stickers are a standard material that we use for these techniques. **It can print on a wide range of large-format printing materials for various billboard purposes, showcase transparent stickers, straboard, or even digital signage. **
