3D reading magnifying glass effect

[Rafagabriel]

Hi! I was looking for help with a project. I'm trying to make a children's fanzine with two texts, one in red and one in blue. To read them, you need two magnifying glasses (physical ones) made of cellophane paper in these colors, but I can't get it to read. Does anyone have any recommendations or advice? It would be very helpful. Thank you.

@Rafagabriel oooohhh, ths sounds so much for any kid (including adults too!). One of my art magazines had this! The issue is that a red filter (like your red cellophane) will make red things disappear by "blending" them with the red filter itself. It will make non-red things (like your blue text) more visible. Similarly, a blue filter will make blue things disappear, and make non-blue things stand out. Since you have red text and blue text, and you're using a red filter and a blue filter, the effect is that each magnifying glass is making one of the texts disappear, not revealing it.
