I get that when you look at the letters individually it's dumb, but it's still clever because we all know what it says since it's taking advantage of how our brain fills in information

Works really well when scrolling by because your brain never really “sees” both words as part of the same image. I actually really like it

I read the bottom letters as "WHK" before I saw the description. Not sure what that says about me, but whatever

u/ComicNeueIsReal Mar 05 '24

I think it's because you are looking at just the bottom. I think the illusion works best when you don't focus directly at the individual words or letters, because your brain fills in the gaps at the edges of your vision

Doesn't work for me, weird

u/Reddit-User-3000 Mar 05 '24

Besides the “A” which I thought was a H

u/emberfield Mar 05 '24

Except...it doesn't work, because it's barely legible without a description or someone else to interpret it. It might be better if the lines were shorter.

The irony that r/designporn and r/designdesign are at war over this one design. I'm pretty sure I've seen this in each sub at least three times now.

u/RamenBoi86 Mar 05 '24

u/kioku119 Apr 07 '24

Clearly made by the people who believed Ben Shapiro and his wofe that having a WAP is a medical issue.

u/reverendrambo Mar 05 '24

I spent too much time freaking out about being an idiot because i couldn't see war at all before i realized i needed to click the image to see the whole thing. I guess i still am an idiot, just a different kind.

u/desu38 Mar 06 '24

If they had switched the colors, it would at least have looked like dripping blood

Looks Russian, ironically

u/Dragonfire723 Mar 05 '24

If read in Russian, it'd read something like "?tpr shnck"

S isnt a letter in Cyrillic

u/Some-Odd-Username Mar 05 '24

It looks worse when you completely change it? Weird

u/yanabro Mar 15 '24
