I Deserve It: Why?

Posted on 28 December by Vernon

Each time you look at it, that hand gets more disturbing.

    I think this is more a design choice. It may be a lame attempt but it isn’t a mistake. Do you really believe the photoshopper didn’t notice the hand was too big? A bad design choice but not a disaster. I was under the impression that this site was more about pointing out inept photoshopping not bad design choices.

    Also just the cursory look around at asian design culture will show many many design schemes with abnormally enlarged body parts. Hell Manga is all about giant heads and enlarged eyes. Anyways carry on just my two cents worth.

      “many design schemes with abnormally enlarged body parts”. They blew up the wrong parts. I mean the buildings, you dirty minded prigs.

      I think the gigantic hand is just a bad design choice, but the position of her right leg and hip is definitely a photoshop disaster..and her right hand seems to be passing through her body!

      It is a bad design choice AND a PSD. There are many good examples of “abnormally enlarged hand showing something to the camera” that are not PSDs, but this is because those good examples have the enlarged hand in the same perspective that the rest of the model. In this case the enlarged hand seems to belong to an invisible arm that grows from the model’s right (your left) knee. That or her left arm (your right) is made from rubber, which, considering the pinkish tone of her legs sounds very pausible.
      It is also a wardrobe design, but I guess this doesn’t count here.

      The problem isn’t weather this was intentional or not, it still looks like shit. And THAT definitely makes it a disaster, because Photoshop artists are supposed to make something aesthetic, even when they go for an unrealistic style.

    Hahaha! Totally possible. In fact I shot a pic of myself with this exact perspective today. Funnily enough, I also always write my post-its in both English and Chinese. And whatever city that is in the background, they could really use a budget increase on street signage. What happens when it rains?

    Wait a second? A job-site? What kind? Wearing that? What does she deserve? Cat-calls? Need more answers. Fave PSD yet.

    this site must be discussing about the mistakes of works in photoshop not the idea. discussing about the final result and the processing when use photoshop not the dream of the designer. so any one who enter this site can learn from the mistakes then they don’t do the same mistake again. so can you reveal to me the mistakes, so we’re increasingly clear each time.

    I think they went for surrealism on this one. Sooo, baroque anatomy and hands as tags. Good, really good.

    Hey, at least nobody is complaining about how lame this is. I mean, this is terrifying.

    Do not blame me for being born extra special. I can’t help it…..

    you are missing the point here… its obvious she is holding a huge fake hand that is holding a bigger paper note. Can’t you see?

  • guest

    Ah, I see!
    They were trying to play around with the perspective, but they kinda failed…
    Nice try though (or so I guess)

  • Astridmoon

    The Chinese subway. Yes, I have been there before.

  • PaintLight

    Is that Summer Glau’s head on that monstrosity?

  • Dickblik

    this one looks like a fake disaster.
