So you know when you see faces on random objects? You know, like anything from smiling faces on flowers to visions of Jesus Christ on toast.
Well apparently, that's got a name. Yeah, it's called Pareidolia (bonus points for saying that correctly ten times).
It's described as being a "psychological phenomenon involving an image or sound wherein the mind perceives a familiar pattern of something where not actually exists". Perfectly clear, or not, as the case may be...
Visually, it often relates to perceived images of animals, faces, or objects, in clouds, rock formations, or natural patterning.
Everybody perceives the shapes differently and what is a charred bit of bread to one person, is the second coming to another.
With this in mind, the creative community on Worth1000, who are now part of the DesignCrowd family, decided to use their Photoshop skills to deliberately engineer shapes into ordinary scenes for everyone's enjoyment.
And the great thing about these, is you know the shape is definitely in there, you just need to look harder.
