    had to take the black one into photoshop to read it, the white and red ones i just looked at at an odd angle though, hooray for cheap lcd’s

    Naw, man. You can read it at an oblique angle …

    I still can’t read the last line.

    I couldnt read this one without adjusting it, the other two were plain as day just by looking right at them

    Couldn’t read it. Kinda silly. The other two were pretty simple. Nothing to see here, folks.

    I have a hint for aspiring artists: When you hide a message, and then tell the world that you did it, be sure that the message is something worth the effort.

    for those who think these need photoshoppery.. try clicking and dragging the ‘ghosts’ of the blocks over each other.. voila. No adjustments needed. Way to overcomplicate things.

    The ghosts thing didn’t work for me. Magic Wand @ tolerance 1 worked on the black one. The other two were easy.

    Took the black one into a photo thingy and adjusted values. Maybe I didn’t eat enough carrots as a child?

    But had no prob with the others.

    My son spent a happy holiday exchanging secret messages with a friend by printing them in speckly-filled yellow print on white paper. Very hard to read until you scan it.

    Recent printers add colour speckles in a predetermined pattern to let the government follow you up if you do naughty things.

    that’s really cool.
    my screen is at an angel to start with so no adjustments needed (:

    Just stick it in Photoshop and turn the levels down.

    ########SPOILER BELOW##########

    ###############################

    For those that didn’t have the time to stare long enough, the black panel reads:
    “ongradulations, you, are, the, millionth”

    Yes, I know the spelling is off for “congratulations” but that’s what I could make out. (I reeeeeally stared)

    Can’t say it was worth the 20 minutes. If only it had told me how to satiate my curiosity for lame, enigmatic art…

    by clicking and dragging I meant if you click and drag any image (in firefox at least) you can drag around a transparency of that image.. if you drag the white block over the black you you can see faint white lettering.. same with the red one over the white one.. bleh
