Unscramble the Blue Letters

And that too is a relatively new idea. And here's just a series of experiments where I ask the question of — does a poster have to be square? Now, this is a little illusion. That poster is not folded. It's not fedold, that's a photograph and it's cut on the daiagonl. Same cheap ticrk in the upper left-hand corenr. And here, a very peculiar poster because, simply because of using the isometric perspective in the cmtpoeur, it won't sit still in the space. At times, it seems to be wider at the back than the front, and then it shifts. And if you sit here long enough, it'll float off the page into the audience. But, we don't have time.
