The Stroller Strategy: Back Me Up Here

Rarely are movie studios so transparent about what they don’t include in a film.

Photoshop Disasters

I thought we were looking at a checkerboard background, until I saw the movie poster and realized somebody forgot to include the grey background layer. It’s like that time my parents left me at the mall, but in this instance, someone eventually noticed.

Nice find Graham. You can see the original on the Apple site.

If these walls could talk (they’d be screaming)

Some supermodels can recover from a trip on the runway, but this is probably the steeliest look to accompany a dislocated shoulder.

Photoshop Disasters

I’m aware there’s a stigma against broad shoulders on women, but this isn’t a solution. On a similar note, ladies – if you wear your pants that close to your breasts, I’m going to waste a substantial amount of time trying to figure out if you have a displaced torso before I notice the hole in your shoulder.

Thanks Anonymous. The original was found in a Moda Operandi email blast.

Tiny Toddler: Normal on Drugs

This ad proves that child-trafficking is a bigger problem when the kids can literally fit in the kidnapper’s pocket.

Photoshop disasters

Pst, hey – want a kid? Two ounces, it’s good stuff.

I’m not entirely clear what the advertisement is saying – something about child trafficking and drugs. Regardless, I can only assume from that tiny tot’s expression that he’s on something good.

Thanks Flávio. This mini baby ad in an airport in Southern Brazil. The ad reads: “Adopt your kid before a drug dealer does it. Talk to your kid about the problem of drugs”.

Côté Rouen: A Screen Askew

Look, you said you wanted the screens on our laptops to be the brightest on the market, even in bright daylight.  Well, we can’t do that and keep the price point where you want it without making sacrifices elsewhere.

Computer disaster

Thanks Seb. The original can be found in a French newspaper called “Côté Rouen”. Any takers on how they would have produced this PSD? Seems like it’s easier to do it correctly. If you can’t see the PSD, you can checkout our red circle gallery.

Wired: Staying Connected

So there’s this new thing: the unhotel from OneFineStay. And they think they’re it. They give you the chance to stay in someone’s place while they’re out of town. Live their life for a few days and try out the unlamp, which only the very rich can afford. The unlamps shade disconnects from the stand, leaving the shade suspended in the air and allowing the stand to double as a TV aerial.

I guess a real lamp is more expensive than a night in London.

Thanks Alexander. The original can be found in the German version of Wired for the iPad. If you can’t see the PSD, you can check out our red circle image

Victoria’s Secret: Elastigirl

Another collection of loosely assembled body parts from the masters of craphic art.

Great find Holly. You can see the original here. If you can’t see the PSD, please check out our red image gallery.

 

Come on, skinny girl and awkward pose.  You really think with the huge ad budget that VS has, that they would have an intern piece together models in photoshop?  These girls are 5’10″+ and weigh 120lbs with rocks in their pockets of course they don’t look “natural”, but if you stop and think for two minutes it’s their job to look like this, and the photographers job to get striking poses.

But by all means jump on the “Ooohhhh, it’s been shopped” train, and no it really doesn’t make you sound like a WoW playing celibate (not by choice) living in Mom’s basement.  By Barto
