Black Or White PortraitToday’s optical illusion was created and submitted by Terence Rosoman, who pointed out that things aren’t always as clear as black and white. At first, we only see bunch of different-sized black dots positioned on a white surface. But Terence gave us a big hint!  In order to properly see the hidden picture, we should squint our eyes. We can also look at a picture from greater distance. This should help us seeing the hidden celebrity. Can you guess who it is? If you manage to see a figure, but don’t recognize the person, I advise you to read this post for a hint.

Even though I’m not the greats fan of this persona, I deeply appreciate his artistic contributions. If you like this kind of hidden images, you’ll gonna love Type Addicted book cover. Apart from Marylin Monroe and Santa Claus (?), there are many more similar illusions in our archives.

    Oh I see the dots are changed in size to trick the eye. Neat! I always try all these things like with Fredo’s 3d. I experimented with dots, its really amazing how it works but real tedious to do.

    I took my glasses off and viewed it from a distance. I find this works with a lot of optical illusions, including the minimum information pixellated portraits of well-known folk where the face just seems to appear from nowhere, despite a distinct and obvious lack of visual information. How the brain produces this from a handful of squares is beyond me. Certainly seems to interpolate, creating a recognisable and viewable face from almost nothing! Weird and fascinating.

    Dave had the right idea. If you have glasses then look at it without them standing a bit back
