You'd think by now we'd be immune to optical illusions, such is the volume we encounter here at Creative Bloq. But here's one that's hitting a nerve more than most – not necessarily thanks to the quality of the illusion itself, but instead because of the somewhat triggering subject matter.

Every designer has experienced the despair of getting lost in a see of layers – and when those layers are unnamed, things can get complicated, fast. Enter the following illusion, shared to Twitter as a timely PSA for designers everywhere. Shake your head while looking at the image below, and a pertinent message will emerge.
