You take a design and stretch it out about 15 times its original length. Then when you look at it from the right angle, it looks normal. For example, if you wanted to draw a crayon that looks like it's standing point-up on the sidewalk, and you want the crayon to look like it's 4 feet tall and half a foot wide, you'd just draw it 40 feet across the sidewalk but keep the width only a half a foot. So if you looked at it from above, it's a LONG stretched crayon. But when you're standing on the sidewalk, it's "squashed" because of your viewing angle and looks 4 feet tall. More goes into it, like shading, etc., but that's basically how it's done.

It only works to look at it from one angle, though. Any other angle it's extremely distorted. So the pictures that you see are taken from THE ONE SPOT that makes it look right.
