Abstract: The apparatus is a visual design system for reliably reproducing kaleidoscope-type images. A design element is fixed rotationally, vertically and horizontally with various gradients in a projection system and illuminated. The resulting image is projected through a bellows, also including various possible configurations. An image receiving system with height and longitudinal adjustment and corresponding gradients receives the image on a translucent viewing screen. The image is received between two kaleidoscope-type mirrors with an adjustable angle therebetween. A camera records the resulting image.An opaque wedge in a filter-like position, along with an appropriate aperture and resulting depth of field, is used to assure an evenly illuminated image. Similarly, the focal plane can be inclined in order to reduce any distortion caused by the increase in object distance for a portion of the image caused by the kaleidoscope-type mirrors.
