We all have heard the proverbial phrase “A picture is worth a thousand words”. But what I am about to showcase today needs a new expression…“A picture in worth a thousand pictures.” Yes folks, I’m talking about visual images that show pictures within a picture. Also known as optical illusions, this technique tests the human mind to figure out odd and bizarre things that differ from objective reality. This concept is greatly employed by graphic designers in creating hidden logos and other graphic artworks with hidden concepts. Recall the Apple logo that was revealed in tribute to Steve Jobs? It is a perfect example of an optical illusion that cleverly shows an outline of Steve’s face within the Apple logo. |
Optical illusions can be of three main types. The first are Literal Illusions that produce images in contrast to the objects used. Second are dubbed Physiological Illusions that are created in the human mind due to excessive stimulation. The last type of illusions is Cognitive which is a result of unconscious presumptions of the human brain.
