1. looks like Drew Barrymore.
2. gah, the quotation marks!
you'd think if they were going to bother photoshopping the stamp in, they might as well fix the girls ugly over-grown goth manicure. ugh
I think ya'll are missing the point... The concept and photoshopping are definitely good enough for a proof-o-concept. The negative stamp should be flipped, but it's not.
They could've just flipped the image on the paper rather than flipping the stamp...but they did neither.
Notice also the strange hand cutout and the fake shadows in the lower picture. This is a mess.
Well, OK.. So they didn't flip the stamped image. This is not even a 'proof of concept', however, but merely 'a concept'. There is no indication that even a prototype exists. As such, it is not a commercial product - maybe just a design student project! It's amazing how widely it has been quoted.
Anyway, the point is that this was most likely not put together by professionals, but by somebody in his own flat (you can even see the reflection of the windows on this pic: http://www.yankodesign.com/images/design_news/2010/06/28/stampy4.jpg
I think they, therefore, deserve some slack. If you want to poke fun at some non-professional PSDs, I'll send you some of my mess-work.. ;-)
My uncle had a stamp that flipped automatically, so when you looked at it you could see the actual image that would be stamped.
This is sad ... but I think this was intentional. I think the shopper knew the image would be reversed but thought that people would be confused if it were correct. It's still a disaster, because it's obvious to everyone with half a brain, but depressing because it assumes we all have less than half a brain.
Sometimes, I think that may be true....
If a concept is featured on Yanko, it's pretty much required to violate at least one physical law.
So - Drew Barrymore looks photoshopped and blurry in real life, but crystal clear on the magic digital camera?
Move "mode" to the same line as each fragment in quotes. Remove the quotes. Remove the square brackets. Fix the 1 and the 2. Now the type is up two notches to junior high school level.
I know that's not a PS problem, but people, like that Abduzeedo guy, seem to think that sloppiness and confusion is better than simplicity and clarity.
No Angela , Drew is blurry in real life when the camera is focused on the camera. It's called depth of field.
Exactly whose creepy black-fingernailed friend takes their photograph and then turns it into a rubber stamp that they carefully press off-centre onto a plain white sheet of paper anyway?
um.. the stamp is pretty much sinked into the camera... it should be enduring... to make a stamp
PSD, and the concepts fakeness aside, I cannot imagine a use for such a device or ever needing one. But I never figured I'd ever need a phone that could take pictures and ring with "Baby Got Back" everytime my Sister in Law calls either.
Well, bloggers can criticize this PSD... but at least Drew Barrymore is impressed.
So, after you stamp the paper....what do you do with the finished product?
That is pretty simple to figure out!
It would be pretty lame to snail mail it to someone ... So you take a picture of it with your phone and send it to all your friends.
Now, when they reply and ask, "Why in the world did you send this to me?" - Well, uh, I don't have an answer for that yet.
And think of all the tree huggers this will upset if this stamp becomes popular?
Whoops - this comment has nothing to do with photoshopping....please disregard.
Next thing to ask yourself is whether or not Drew Barrymore is aware that her picture is being used... That would lead to a nice law suit ;)
"Angela said...

Looks like you're blurry on the concept of depth of field and focusing.
I tried this and almost immediately regretted it.
I can't seem to get all the ink off of my phone. Careful, fellow campers!
o_O So beside the flipped stamp disaster, it looks as if the "real" girl (who is definitely NOT Drew on the phone's photo) has been mixed with a Drew Barrymore's photo .. How weird ...
Marketing trick ? "Hey look ! It's Drew B !... hehe nooo it was a jooke :D"
The stamp thing hit me straight away, all they had to do was flip it. I like concept stuff on here, companies should put all their concept ads through this site, and let us pick them apart, and then send them back to be corrected.
And as for that product itself, it's about as useful as the iPad.
ITS NOT ABOUT THE BLOODY PICTURE! HAHA. Why does no one get it.. RUBBER will not be able to change magically in to a picture/stamp.. It's rubber...! How the hell is that going to happen. You have to cut it out - it doesn't move around like a living blob inside your camera...
oor maybe Im wrong and she has some super great technology packed in there that makes rubber move around in little pixel squares. sounds cheap to mee
"It would be pretty lame to snail mail it to someone ... So you take a picture of it with your phone and send it to all your friends."
And then they turn that picture into a stamp and ...
Wow. I looked at it and thought it was a print out kitsched up to look like a stamp, but on further examination of the picture, you're right, it's supposed to be a real stamp.
Other than the uselessness of it, it should be feasible to make:
Make the whole bottom of the camera a rubber stamp comprised of small little squares. Place an actuator under each square which lifts the rubber square up or down according to whether you want that specific square (vis pixel) to print... Although the entire surface will be rubber, only the 'lifted' pixels will contact the paper and the remaining ones will not...
How strange. The concept art part on the site looks "believably" real (including flip and even invert of image on the stamp).. But as soon as it hits the marketing side (the picture shown here) it all goes to hell... Just makes no sense.
KYM, I suppose pin-art toys are impossible too?
The complexion of the photographer is outright creepy, unless it will be marketed around Halloween.
I find the idea of a digital camera that makes rubber stamp are lot more ridiculous than any photoshop disaster.
Whats the point?

"Drew Barrymore is impressed"
Moan, groan, and RIGHT over our heads!
I don't think this PsD is entirely fair- it's concept work that's not being used for mass-production. This could be portfolio work by an individual.
At first I thought, "Kind of a neat and original concept," but then I thought, "Why not just write piece of software that will enlarge the pixels in a photo and print it out to look like a stamp? A lot less messy and a WHOLE lot cheaper."
Though the idea of a stamp is just stupid. If instead the camera produced a pin-art surface representing the image brightness, then it would make a camera for blind people.
Why would anyone want a camera that can make stamps out of photos instantly? A camera that can print out photos instantly would be much cooler. Oh wait, those have already been invented. Damn. Innovation is gonna be very slow this century.
