I didn't know what a lenticular image was until I saw this cool Photojojo photo tutorial on how to make one yourself. Apparently its an image that looks different depending on which way you look at it. I remember seeing magnets like this when I was a kid and thought they were really cool. (hopefully I didn't just date myself)
Photojojo shows you how to make your own lenticular image using two digital photos, Photoshop (or another photo editing program), cardstock and your printer. All you need to know is how to run your program and you can make a really cool picture that appears to move or change as you move side to side.
The idea is to use two photos that are of the same object in different states and mash the together in your editing program. Such as a flower closed and then open or your baby before and after eating chocolate pudding. Anything that shows a cool before and after.
This is such a cool idea I am going to have to try it myself. Maybe for a fun Christmas gift for the grandmothers this year.
