Genius optical illusion newspaper ad wows the internet

While it's often said that print is on the decline, we still see plenty of design genius of a more analogue nature. Here's an example that's been doing the rounds on Reddit for a while, and is once again blowing minds. It's an ad and an optical illusion in one – what's not to like?

What at first glance looks like your average page of newspaper ads actually contains a 3D kitchen hidden among the monochrome. The clever design was created for Centro Corona by Felipe Salazar, a Colombian designer, and it's so brilliant, we'd better start making a kitchen-shaped space in our roundup of the best print ads of all time.

Fully kitted out with an extractor fan and kitchen tops, the subtle design really packs a design punch. It's hard to believe that Salazar created this whole room-scape with just typography, and just goes to show the power of a good font and some graphic design (you can equip yourself with some fonts over on our roundup of the best free fonts)
