T3 Magazine: Trying To Titillate

T3 Magazine PSD
Not really a PsD. She was obviously bitten in the neck by a (particularly hungry) vampire, which made her into a vampire, so she is not reflected in the TV she's sitting on. Duh.

great

looks like some bad smoothing on the hand too when they were taking out those bite marks.

Eevu said...

See, now that wasn't the biggest problem for me - is it just me, or does her shoulder look completely wrong?

tim maguire said...

Interesting. Your theory is bolstered by the fact that her dress does appear to be reflected--with no legs sticking out of them.

darwinsurvivor said...

Umm, actually, she IS reflected in the TV, and at the proper angle for that matter. Remember, when looking at a reflective surface at a 45 degree angle, the reflection of the other object will be BESIDE it, not behind it!

The hand is definitely messed up though :P

darwinsurvivor said...

@Eevu, now that you mention, yes. The shoulder should be visible between the model's fingers, but there is nothing but air. Either a PSD or she is missing a piece of her skeletal system.

Nobody said that 'his girlfriend can do that' yet? ;)

this is hardly a Photoshop Disaster...

Daren said...

my TV can do that

wv: prebbi... non-reflecting models with birth defects are prebbi

Scott said...

I think what's truly funny about this is that "Gadget" magazine thought they needed to put a sexy model in a skimpy black dress on the cover of an issue devoted to....gadgets. What possible relevance does she have to this magazine, except to entice nerds to buy it?

FxFarlakes said...

I luv the heels...the rest is well err..dunno...unreal?

kevkos said...

Her dress and leg are reflected, turn up the brightness and you will see. Her hand is messed up, but It looks like only the smoothing. Her skeletal figure probably makes her shoulder sucked in like that.

Kelseigh said...

The area around her armpit looks pretty off as well. And her left wrist is quite a bit thinner than her right wrist, making that hand look huge.

One thing that isn't a PSD but just poor photography is that the colour of her hand blends into her shoulder a bit on the outside, making both look weirder than they already are.

ewaffle said...

The (or perhaps one) PSD is the ridiculous smoothing on the hand she is holding up to her neck to cover the bite marks. I saw this magazine on a newsstand and it looks much worse in "real life".

So you have neat gadgets you are selling to gadget guys, decide you might get a bit more attention from browsers if you put a skinny blonde with cool shoes on the cover and then do an amateurish job of photoshopping something that if it was left in probably would be less obvious.

Works fo' me.

Word verification: dicstan. Where the creative director who OK this cover shuold be sent.

It's not a television, it's an art installation by Anish Kapoor.

that made me imagine that the tv is actually coming out of her ass lol

and the worst part for me is her shoulder, it really looks messed up. Not one of my favs posts, though

Dwain said...

Yep, I definitely see her legs in the reflection. By use of some craftiness I believe she really is sitting on that television.

The black line I drew in brings up a good point. No shoulder should EVER dip like that.

AlexFreire said...

Her legs are definitely NOT reflected on the screen... brrrrr... Frack me, this is scary stuff!

Maaike Hartjes said...

It's not the PSD that puzzles me, but why they made her SIT on a TV!
Most men would probably freak out if their sexy girlfriend decided to use their brand new flatscreen as a chair.

Toby Hicks said...

Argh that right shoulder, it looks like a knee.

Galileo said...

Never mind her reflection. The big issue is that a part of her body is missing, to not notice that is surely a PSD.

kw said...

What about no reflection in the tv?
made my day.

Robert said...

Alex Freire & kw:

There IS a reflection. See:

Reflection - I concur with the guys who say there is but the hand is certainly dodgy.

The one thing missed by all and everbody et al is the immense strength of the television stand which appears able to carry weights above and beyond a flat screen

vagrantradio said...

Or the perspective is off and this doesn't really constitute anything.

Brooke said...

if anyone else sat that comfortably on a flat screen they'd tip over.

jesternl said...

And nobody said anything about her elective surgery that took away about half of her thighs? Either that, or she has the weirdest legs I ahve ever seen

Miranda said...

Why are her hand and knee all smudged out? Man, that's terrible!

Gamebird said...

It's hard for me to believe that there aren't perfectly good-looking, sexy women out there they could have used for their pictures. Hell, my neighbors would be better than that mannequin.

The shoulder looks wonky to me and the hand looks like she must have had a tattoo or something on it they felt the need to smooth out (badly). Her thighs, now that I look at them, look odd, but I'm no expert at emaciated women. Maybe it's the perspective. I don't know if there's a reflection or not. I've made film for flat screen TVs (fascinating process, btw) and a lot of it doesn't reflect at certain angles. The film surface is covered with a microimprint very similar to that used in high-reflection traffic signs. (the very same concept, executed differently - they even make them on the same machine) So it can reflect strongly at certain angles and not at all at other angles.

Eh, enough rambling for me.

Burlesk Grotesk said...

Yup, there's definitely a reflection of her leg. Whether it's real or not or even in the right place I couldn't say but it's there.

Kasey said...

The vampire was extra-hungry and took some meat with his drink. The hand is attempting to hide the missing flesh. Fail!

wv: fressa

Rodolpho Pajuaba said...

The WV is SOOO good I couldn't resist - but in portuguese only: quebom, as in "Que bom que não é minha namorada", or "That's good that she's not my girlfriend"

AlexFreire said...

@Robert:

Sorry, but you are mistaken. Look at the right side of the screen, where her legs SHOULD appear! People say that the reflection is dislocated due to the angle; granted, but even so, there's a LOT of screen to the right, and no legs.

Susie said...

I don't think this is a truly bad photohop image. Maybe there wasn't enough light to leave a relection.

girlrat said...

Did she had an obscene tattoo on that part of her hand, or something? I don't understand why they painted over it.

Lilystar said...

her hand is backward!

Helene said...

I wonder if her hand touching her face was switched? The elbow crease almost looks like the back of her hand should be touching her face, and I think I see a wrist bone and the curve of her palm inches apart when they should be closer?

Ella St. Germain said...

her prosthetic hand is one of the top tech gadgets

leeor_net said...

Did anybody notice the missing chunk of her shoulder behind the hand? Not to mention the hideous shading on the hand.

cristele said...

what about the major blur/paint on her hand? Not even the same color

martin said...

I found a copy of this at work - I couldn't quite figure out what was wrong with it, but I knew there was something.
