Yes! I desperately want this company to edit and print all of my business materials!
I don't care if it's not a PSD. It's an epic fail.
*face palm*
hahaha
Just on their front page alone
redifined instead of redefined.
optimisation instead of optimization.
Webdesign instead of Web design.
specialising instead of specializing.
Doubleclick instead of Double click.
maililng instead of mailing.
emphasises instead of emphasizes.
realising instead of realizing.
Yeah I want them to work on my website right now!
PLEASE retroactively add the bad-copy tag to "My name is Tyler and here's why."
@Zaphod: Er, some of those are correct British/int'l English spellings. That only excuses half of them, though.
ouch!
Oh, that reflection. My eyes hurt.
I've sent them the following email;

Would you like to hire me as a proof reader for your web site?
After all, you’re in the web site business, and your web site is your first impression.
Just on your front page alone you have the following errors.
1. Definetely instead of Definitely.
2. redifined instead of redefined.
3. optimisation instead of optimization.
4. Webdesign instead of Web design.
5. specialising instead of specializing.
6. Doubleclick instead of Double click.
7. maililng instead of mailing.
8. emphasises instead of emphasizes.
9. realising instead of realizing.
This is not even mentioning the other 50 - 60 errors all over your website, including places where you’ve misspelled the name of your own website!
Yes, these types of errors must have the customers flocking to your door with confidence levels through the roof!

In the Showcase flash section, "Egan prospecting brochure: an inovative..."
"Corporate mould"?
All of their design links go to the same page, too. Is this a real company?
So, who is going to be brave enough to email them and call them on it? Someone has to let them know that they have designers who "are dedicated to precision efficiency and success" but not to propur speling.
To be fair, the Australian spelling of 'realise' etc. are with an 's'
OK one more. The grammar, O the grammar! Visit About Us, and I quote verbatim:
The director of the company whom has been in the industry since leaving school, has spent many, many years developing relation with both local and international providers for printing and print promotional items, along with now proudly having a colleague base within the company that she truly believes she is very lucky to have the privilege in working with, as the old cliché goes treat people as you would like to be treated yourselves and as her standards are of a high caliber so are her colleagues And their abilities to forfil all the clients needs
*major eyeroll*
Just an observation but a lot of the "errors" identified are completely legitimate spellings in Australia (home of the website) and UK (where I am from). Having said that - there are way too many appalling errors.
slow day at psd?
As mentioned above, the replacing of "z" for "s" in many words (optimisation, specilising, realising, emphasises) is appropriate British spelling.
As is the word "mould."
But no, there's no excuse for redifined, Webdesign, or maililng. I didn't see the context, so "Doubleclick" may refer to the ad agency.
aww painfull...
but yes zaphodQB, you're just as wrong, it's an australian website so they use british spelling (s instead of z)
aww painfull!
yes I love tem to disign and print my 1000 bisness cards with my neme spellt rong!
Looks like someone with limited grasp of non-American English, using one of those Internet translators.
what are you guys talking about? This company sounds awesome.
laughing laughing laughing laughing laughing.
They fixed the errors on their page.
Thanks for ruining our fun, Zaphod. :(
How come photoshop disaster publish a non photoshop layout, that s a disaster ...
I (a Brit) love spelling, and feel the pain of its abuse.
This is still apt for the blog, though - It's not that the image's reflection is any good, is it?
Oh, I've been WONDERING who the hell AP Magazine got to design their website, no wonder it's so screwed up.

Hmmm... http://www.templatemonster.com/drupal-themes/22796.html
Has anyone noticed that the darts are missing some serious reflection there?
I mean: everyone's focusing on the spelling mistakes (which I don't deny), but...
THERE IS A PHOTOSHOP DISASTER IN THE AD!
Still, check out this page;
http://www.preciseprintmedia.com.au/graphic-design.php

Wanna hear something hilarious?
The clown wrote me back!
Seems it's a one man operation which has done "1.7 million dollars worth of business in the 1.5 - 2 months his site has been live on the net, and he's just too busy to proof read his own web site."
Yeah! And I have a 16 inch Johnson!
While the precise print media site itself is a disaster, I'm curious what role PHOTOSHOP played in that disaster exactly?
The recolored the clip-art?

Yeah it's pretty hard to stretch your mind that far. Like tying shoelaces. Pretty challenging.
That site is what happens when you let the coder be the designer.
@ZaphodQB: 'optimisation', 'specialising', and 'realising' are all perfectly correct Australian / British English spellings.
Don't be such a US-centric arsehole (that's 'asshole' to you).
In before sycophants trying to be clever! Oh wait...
Seriously ZaphodQB, are you in a position to mock?
Looking at your PS work, I think not.
http://www.photoshoptalent.com/best-photoshops/ZaphodQB/
Faux Brickhenge is...just stunning.
Just noticed that page is a showcase of your 'best' work as well.
Nice.
evrybody nose its spelled "definately"
@ZaphodQB: As others have echoed - please think before you open your mouth. With a name like that it suggests that you've read some non-US literature...
@ZaphodQB: Auch, I wouldn't hire you as a proofreader either.
So despite being so busy, it looks like the fellow went through and fixed most of the actual errors, at least on the home page. Guess a feature on PsD isn't good for a multi-million dollar business.
"Our Team delivers an experienced and client-centered approach to the design, development, marketing and maintenance of award-winning and brand-driven websites. The client is in charge of spelling and arranging all the copy because we can't do that. It's.... just.... it's too hard."
wv: minsib <--perhaps they did the word verify too? minisub?
This is fun.
So...we now have the newly proof-read homepage which still includes:
stationeries [stationery]
companie [companies]
functionalist [functionality?]
client's [clients']
inovative [innovative]
...as well as numerous garammatical errors and a truckload of excrutiating management-speak.
LOL @ZaphodQB
You are the one that has failed.
Most of your 'wrong spellings' are completely correct. You are clearly an american who has grown used to your inferior spelling of a language created hundreds of years before your sorry country even existed :P
And FYI ... I think webdesign is an acceptable contraction of web-design (or web design if you'd like to be less correct).
www.d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com exists for a reason
First rule of social media: Never trust anyone who calls themselves an SEO
Just as side note we use the Brit and Aussie 'S' instead of 'Z' here in Canada too, eh.
This is the best thread on PSD yet!
Ahaha.
I like how a bunch of you are hating on all Americans just because Zaphod screwed up.
I live in the US and I REALISE that people spell things differently.
Word verification: pariasp
I sent them a message yesterday pointing out a few errors, they've corrected them all now. I'm sure i wasn't the only on to contact them though.
yes simon, and DA spelled correctly.
No! Let me rephrase that last post I deleted.
To the rest of ya' wankers, you're really hurting my feeling and my eyes with your defense of the web site indefensible spelling and grammatical gibberish. Because you've(your culture and you're below standard spelling habits) been around longer, just makes it even more sad, that you still have not managed to get it right yet.
Thanks jimbeam2003
And I'm guessing you read the rest of my profile there a photoshoptalent.com as well, and noticed where it said I started using photoshop on the 6th of Nov, 2008. yeah 5 months ago.
So yeah I thought it was ok, not great but better then most we see here, and it's not being pawned off as a commercial/professional endeavor.
I would say it's at least as good as all of yours that you graciously shown us [smile]
"To the rest of ya' wankers, you're really hurting my feeling and my eyes with your defense of the web site indefensible spelling and grammatical gibberish.

What was that about spelling and grammar?
and
"So yeah I thought it was ok, not great but better then most we see here, and it's not being pawned off as a commercial/professional endeavor."
shouldn't that be "than" instead of "then"? seems like your spelling is a bit below standards too..
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people spell "definitely" wrong. It seems like NOBODY knows how to spell it!
Another huge pet peeve is "should of" or "could of" instead of "should have" or "could have."
Write these down and post them on your computer monitor. Tell all your friends!
"Because you've(your culture and you're below standard spelling habits) been around longer, just makes it even more sad, that you still have not managed to get it right yet."
WTF?! Who are you to say anything?!
Who gives you the right to judge anything?
You're just a guy full of complexes who thinks he's better than everyone else, and whose page (http://www.photoshoptalent.com/best-photoshops/ZaphodQB) should be featured (in the whole) on PsD.

Some of these spellings are perfectly correct -- there is a difference in spelling some words between US English and UK English. In UK English (here in England we invented the English language) realising and emphasises, for example, are correct, and spelling them with a Z is wrong.
But the real spelling mistakes, like "redifined" are unacceptable for a professional web design company (or should that be webdesign?)

Some awful Photoshop disasters on ZaphodQB's page.
Nubudy sed they had to hit a target. So, they dint. Get ober it.
Thanks to you too Avoura
Send more people over!
How about showing us those photoshop talents of yours that make you such an expert?
Ok do it skinnygirl
Rip up all my chops over at photoshoptalent.com!
Tell us all how bad my reflections are!
Tell us all how my people don't fit together correctly!
Tell us all how they are all commercial disasters!
I am waiting with unbearable anticipation!
Then let us look at your work!
I don't have the urge to prove myself to you, you noob. :D
My works have been and will be awarded.
You just keep practicing and try not to be so damn sensitive (and nationalistic) and you'll be good.
@ ZaphodQB, at the end of the day if you're going to take snipes at other people's mistakes then you have to expect a whole heap back if you balls up.
That said, whilst there are some, well, diasters on your own page - as you rightly pointed out, they are not commercial works. So keep up the PS, but try and calm the shit down too!
you can do better then that skinnygirl.
I really want to hear your hacks on my chops, come on spit it out. Tell me how screwed up they are point out the horrible flaws that make you think they belong here!
And lets see some of that award winning stuff skinnygirl rofl
You too chad tell me about the disasters of mine I am all about wanting to hear this, I really am.
LOL at the HUGE DEAL that this has turned into...
Bottom line - people are ignorant. So is Microsoft Word (it still changes my Ss to Zs). Let's leave this alone in the knowledge that our Aussie, British and Canadian spellings are FAR superior...;)
I sense a PS smackdown.
LOL!!
definetely~
wakakakaka! XD
Zaphod, you're just an idiot who thinks very highly of himself (for no apparent reason). rofl rofl
Your picture, "Jim and Marriah"...
I have to feature it here, really, because of the majestic work you have done...
"I didn't like the old Jim, so I replaced him." FLOL!
You're such a noob with a high ego and fragile feelings. :D
I bet your mommy tucks you in every night and tells you that you have great Ps works. :D :D :D Idiot.

I wrote them too:
“The director of the company whom has been in the industry since leaving school, has spent many, many years developing relation with both local and international providers for printing and print promotional items, along with now proudly having a colleague base within the company that she truly believes she is very lucky to have the privilege in working with, as the old cliché goes treat people as you would like to be treated yourselves and as her standards are of a high caliber so are her colleagues And their abilities to forfil all the clients needs.”
The director of the company who has been, not whom has been.
Developing relations or developing a relation, not developing relation
The rest of the sentence from “along with” is garbled and a run-on; it is impossible to figure out what you mean.
Fulfill, not forfil.
Clients’ or client’s not clients needs.
It’s very encouraging that illiterates such as the ones you’ve hired can find jobs in the media. However, I don’t think they would ever get my business.
Hiring a proofreader would be a good idea.
they've corrected it =)
lol
http://www.preciseprintmedia.com.au/
I agree with the "definetely" and other mistakes, but the words written with "s" instead of "z" are not wrong... It's just that the american spelling and the english (which I believe is the one used in Australia) are different....
If you come to England you will 'realise' that that's the way they do it here....
Specialising and emphasises and stuff are only spelt wrong if you're American.
Buu Martins, good shout.
I was getting sick of all you darn Americans spouting "OMG HE SPELT IT WITH A Z INSTEAD OF AN S".
There are different variations of English and seeing as though it's an Australian website, those spellings were not wrong.
Good grief, we're still plagued with people who have a mysterious inability to read all of the previous comments.
It amuses me that the whole kerfuffle over spelling has totally overshadowed the fact that there is no dart reflection. Ta da! A PsD! I think *1* person noted that?
Everything else has been reposts of "ZOMG! Z not S! ROFL" and "ZOMG! Americans are stupid!"
Srsly. Read the previous comments, peeps. You're taking away from prime "It's not a photoshop disaster!" opportunities.
skiingirl, that's the best you can do?

What exactly that has to do with my ego makes no sense at all!
What a dip shit!
If you had actually go to the contest page you would have read that there were conversations ongoing about the different entries, as there always are in these contests. Based on those discussions, and my own judgment, I decided I did not like the Jim head I used in the first version of the image because his eyes were cast sideways to the left (viewers right) and he did not appear to be looking anywhere near where Mariah was looking.
Did you notice that the lighting was wrong or inconsistent on the faces? ops no you didn't because it's not.
Did you notice the the face color did not match the skin of the bodies they were grafted onto? ops no you didn't because they do.
Did you notice the heads were too big, or small? ops no you didn't because they are not.
You still have not pointed out any mistakes, let alone any commercial disasters that belong here on PD, just what you consider to be inferior images in your apparently less than agile mind.
Oh, and thanks for choosing the "Jumbotron" entry as one of your examples. I was rather proud of that one. It finished 6th out of 54 entries and got rave reviews in the comments section, which you might have known had you actually clicked through to the contest instead of looking at just my profile page, and you could have saved yourself the embarrassment of posting a link to a great chop as one of your examples of bad ones. [chuckle]
And we still haven't seen any of those award winning chops of yours! Why hide them if they are so great? I was not trying to hide mine as you have obviously noticed, since I am using the same name here that I use over there at the contest site.
Here let me help you out simplegirl, excuse me, skinnygirl, there is one image on that page that actually has a mistake on it and maybe you can spot it with a hint.
It is an image with around 100 layers, and I left a layer I was using a measuring device turned on when it should have been turned off, in the final image because I was rushing to finish before the submit deadline.
Maybe that will help you spot the one true mistake
Still waiting to see your work miss expert.
Ha ha ha, Zaphod, you fucking retard. :D
The lighting and the skins aren't your biggest problem. rofl rofl rofl

good answer stupidgirl
You can call me stupid all you want, you're still a fucking retard who thinks he's better than everyone else. :D
So pathetic...
You know, it's better to hate someone than to feel sorry for them.
I feel sorry for you. Big time.
Still waiting to see those award winning lies of yours lame one.
And still waiting to hear some specific errors you are talking about on my profile page too.
I even gave you a hint to the one "error" that is there and you have not managed to find it with your acute critical analysis.
thats not in the middle huh
well seen
OMFG ZaphodQB, if you genuinely think that your Mariah and Jim monster mash is good then perhaps you should just give up now as you clearly have no eye. Just look at the shadow across the driver's face for fuck sake!
"Ops"?! You were originally criticising the site highlighted for poor spelling and grammar. What the fuck is "Ops"? An abbreviation of "operation" or just a retard who can't type use PhotoShop or take criticism of any kind. Personally I thought your first memory(http://www.photoshoptalent.com/images/contests/first%20memories/fullsize/first%20memories_494bee7dbda7e.jpg) ”picture” was even more horrendous!
-So your Mum (or "Mom") was casually jogging whilst you took your tumble (she also seams to be having some other issues!)
-You're in mid-flight warped and bleeding before you've landed?
-That flag looks odd - even though I see it's part of one of the source images
Prick.
Well chad the shadows on the drivers face are part of, and unchanged from the original image, I had nothing to do with them.
Not a Disaster by any stretch.
Like you sad the flag is unchanged from the original image.
Not a Disaster by any stretch.
As for the bleeding, each step causes the occupant of the peddle car to jolt around in the car and beat his face on the steering wheel. So in fact he has landed on about five or six steps on his way down to where he is.
Not a Disaster by any stretch.
True enough I will have to agree that Mum, as you call her, does not really look frantic enough I am not sure you can call that a Disaster by any stretch either. And I am not sure what other problems she has but you have not really pointed out any Disaster yet that I can see.
And criticism, yeah I take it all the time over at photoshoptalet.com, from people who actually know what they are talking about. They actually point out mistakes which are real, unlike you who only perceive them because of your apparent lack of critical eye.
For all the international folks on here who are jumping on the "All Americans are ignorant" bandwagon, I'd like to point out that I was the first to call out Zaphod's mistake, and it may shock you that -- gasp -- I am American, and not all of us are ignorant about the differences in our common language. So please take your bitterness elsewhere.
Now I'm not an English teacher, and I would admit that to making both spelling mistakes and grammatical errors on a regular basis. I tend to re-read anything I've written to double check this before posting or sending emails. ZaphodQB, it seems you delete posts having realised your mistakes, yet you still publish what ammounts to gibberish.
[quote]Well chad the shadows on the drivers face are part of, and unchanged from the original image, I had nothing to do with them.
Not a Disaster by any stretch.[/quote]
English
- My name is Chad, it therefore requires a capital 'C'
- It is the driver's face - he owns it alone and is not many people. Should he have split himself, somehow, into a number of entities then the correct use would have been drivers'
- There should be a comma after “unchanged” in your sentence
- A full stop/period or dash in between “image” and “I”
- In the context you are using “Disaster” it should have a small 'd'. Albeit it on this site, the site owner did not publish any of your pictures, which would have made it a “PsD”. Disaster (note this one has followed a FS/period, hence the capital 'D') is a word, not a technical term, and therefore does not require a capital 'D'
- All in all, a great start (that's sarcasm, though you may know it as “irony”... although the irony is the amount of spelling and grammatical errors you have made in your posts to this “PsD” - some may go as far as to say so far your responses thus far have have been “disastrous”)
PS
As you said, you selected the source images. Bearing in mind you have added the faces into the driver's (there's that possessive apostrophe again) image, you should have used the light source(s) from that image. There is one, or global source. It's a big thing called the “Sun”, so look again and tell us how it's not a disaster, genius.
[quote]Like you sad the flag is unchanged from the original image.
Not a Disaster by any stretch.[/quote]
English
- “Sad”=”said”, right? Technically I wrote it
PS
You chose the image. You didn't have to use that image, out of all of the similar images out there, you chose that to include in something you where going to work on. Yet another fine mess.
[quote]As for the bleeding, each step causes the occupant of the peddle car to jolt around in the car and beat his face on the steering wheel. So in fact he has landed on about five or six steps on his way down to where he is.
Not a Disaster by any stretch.[/quote]
There's a lot of steps there, so he's probably missed a few so not going to pick up on the fact your suggesting he's only bounced off “five or six”, however, if this was the case would he really still be holding on and wouldn't he look worse than this?!
[quote]True enough I will have to agree that Mum, as you call her, does not really look frantic enough I am not sure you can call that a Disaster by any stretch either. And I am not sure what other problems she has but you have not really pointed out any Disaster yet that I can see.[/quote]
You don't thank that using a picture of a woman gently jogging when she's seeing her son smashing his face off his cart and racing towards a road is disastrous "by any stretch", really?!
[quote]And criticism, yeah I take it all the time over at photoshoptalet.com, from people who actually know what they are talking about. They actually point out mistakes which are real, unlike you who only perceive them because of your apparent lack of critical eye.[/quote]
Perhaps the residents of “photoshoptalet.com” support you with “congrats” etc, but that doesn't mean that you are any good. I'm presuming that you do not work (if at all) in the industry otherwise, you would be your own biggest critic.
Now stop being a defensive little twat, realise that you're a long way off being even any good let alone beyond reproach (and even if you were a highly talented designer/department head/editor/art director, you'd still make mistakes - otherwise this site would not exist).
Your mom was a giant and you fell through a directional blur time warp? Awesome childhood dude. I'm actually quite jealous.
1. This isn't about Zaphod's PS skill or lack thereof.
2. As an Australian girl raised in America, I use both American and British spellings...neither is inherently right or wrong. It is about personal prefernece as well as the culture you grew up in. If it makes more sense to you to writer "specialize" rather than "specialise" then that is your personal preference, though on a professional website it is best to use the local spelling conventions. Please do not call one regions spelling inferior, it makes you look like a pompous arse.
3. Even though I was forced to use American English in school, it does makes more sense to me to use British spelling conventions most of the time. However that doesn't mean that someone who only learned to spell one way will feel the same way. It doesn't mean that I "never got it right" it just means that I prefer to spell the way that my mind sees as correct. I don't go around telling all my American friends that they can't spell just because they write color when I feel it should be colour.
Can we stop being arse-heads and focus on the fact that the darts are missing their reflections now?
I LOVE the "corrected" version of the about us page.
As follows:
Value
We guarantee pricing and products to suit your budget, with the look and expectations as well as industry expertise, consistency in communication and delivery are the ways we offer value to all our customers.
>> How does "are the ways... relate to the rest of the sentence? It is not a dependent clause and requires some punctuation.
We are committed to quality, service and honesty throughout our relations with you as we again are more passion and success driven for all concerned We love what we do and take pride in our clients loving what we do for them.
>> What type of "relations" do they want to have with me? Yuck. Passion driven? double yuck. Please put a period before We.
The director of the company whom has been in the industry since leaving school, has spent many, many years developing relation with both local and international providers for printing and print promotional items, along with now proudly having a colleague base within the company that she truly believes she is very lucky to have the privilege in working with, as the old clich� goes treat people as you would like to be treated yourselves and as her standards are of a high caliber so are her colleagues And their abilities to forfil all the clients needs
>> The whom and forfil have already been beat to death but fix it already. What is the fascination with improper use of "relation"? Finally, can this last paragraph get some punctuation? Is punctuation a uniquely American thing also? Surely the Aussies and island folks must know about it.
Just to end your bashing here, I am happy to offer my non-professional proofreading to correct most of the problems. Please let me fix it before my head explodes.
I just wanted to say I have really enjoyed reading this thread. It’s hilarious the way you guys are having a go at each other, picking holes in every little thing. I expect it is inevitable that people will criticise work on a site whose primary function is to point out mistakes.
I personally think some of you should think about what criticism is for, is it just a way to make people feel inferior about their work, or to offer support to people in helping them to improve.
As a designer, I try to get opinions from other designers, copyrighters, art directors, etc. to make sure something is not a disaster, I don’t think I would be working in this industry if they all started calling me a idiot every time I made a mistake.
As with most blogs, people keep leaving repeated comments on the same thing and not reading the rest of the entries, and because it's pretty much anonymous, people start calling each other names, until it sounds like kids arguing in the playground about whose better at whatever, great fun to watch though.
PS: Their maybe spelling mistakes, but I really don’t want to know. Thanks.
Wow this fight is hilarious. But honestly, please don't think that all Americans are egocentric and ignorant towards other cultures...the first thing I thought was that it was probably a website from England or Australia. There's no need for name calling (from either side of the pond). I'm an American, and to base an assumption of all of us on the comments of a few people just isn't fair.
At last, rare psychic powers have allowed man a glipse into an otherwise-unseen alternate dimension... namely, Tpyo Hhell.
They have a message...
It is rtrunin. Thru teh darak. It wlil knok... fror tmies.
Jeez, the irony. It was cryptic enough already.
This is one of the few posts that are not actually a Photoshop Disaster, but are SO BAD they just couldn't be ignored, as well as FuckFiat.
Haha lol ZaphodQB, you idiot.
It's an Australian website.. speciailising, emphasies, realising are all correct spelling.

They actually corrected the "Definitely" thing
I hope that you all realise that the word 'realise' and many of it's counterparts are written with an 's', not a 'z', in England. The home of the English language.
This made me cry a little bit on the inside.
Wow, I read this whole page.
Totally destroyed my faith in humanity.
:P
Anyway, on a kind of unrelated (but still sort of relevant) note, Australia seems to be ignored by America most of the time. Or stereotyped. But usually ignored, at least, by Hollywood. I just went to see 2012, and Australia was not mentioned once. Completely ignored. Apparently, when the world ends Australia is absolutely fine: we're just chilling out having a barbeque while the rest of the world goes to hell. Now, I know someone might say "Hey, such and such country wasn't mentioned either, they can't include everyone". Okay. But we're also a CONTINENT. Japan got a mention. The Queen and her corgies got a few seconds of screen time. There was a Russian guy that got some good lines, and we got to see the Washington Monument crush everyone. But did we see ANYTHING from Australia? A huge crash down the middle of Ayers Rock? (That's the giant red rock in the middle of Australia for you Americans.) No. Sydney Harbour Bridge crashing down with heaps of cars falling into the water? No. Nothing.
Apparently Australia doesn't exist in the minds of those Hollywood directors.
Something similar happened in Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs too. The giant food storm apparently only affected the Northern Hemisphere. Australia is safe from giant pancakes. Whee.
Another thing I noticed with that movie was that in the flashes to other countries and the food affecting them, the only Asian country they showed was China. Okay, that's fine. But then on the banner that was welcoming everybody to come to "the town that rains delicious food" (I can't remember the name) the only asian language was Japanese. Odd... considering Japan wasn't mentioned anywhere else, unless you consider sushi to be a "mention".
