What other people don’t seem to have noticed is the colors of the trees –
This picture was obviously taken in the fall. If the billboard was real, it would have had to be created and placed in only a few days (and the picture taken immediately afterward), otherwise the colors of the leaves would change and be different than the colors on the billboard. Not a good advertising strategy for a billboard to only work properly during a couple weeks out of the whole year.

Also, imagine where the cameraman is standing – not on the road. The ‘transparent billboard’ illusions only work from an exact point of view. Why would they want the illusion to only work when you’re off the road? Billboards are typically seen by people in cars.

i think it is shopped because: a) top looks wrong, b)it is in the middle of the road, c)fake road? i dont think so because that would end up costing a lot of money, and d) Volvo, as far as i know, doesn’t make school buses. still it is still kinda fun

definitely fake. if someone forgot their glasses or something, they might not see the billboard and crash right into it.
(DUH!)

Actually, Meraj, the trick is to encourage good and authentic, preferrably checked/tested illusions, and discourage bad illusions. There's no 'always' involved if it's done right, and results in top notch 'COOL Opt. Ill.', which is what we all want. :]
