Blonde Ambition: I Love Your Jaundiced Fake Breasts

Posted on 6 January by Vernon

Blonde Ambition PSD
There is a great deal of Photoshop work that is simply bad. There are many ill-considered and incompetently executed images. There is so much artwork in the world that is carelessly, sloppily, inexcusably weak.

So I think you’ll understand me when I say that it takes real courage for a designer to break through the morass of the merely abysmal to produce a work of monumental badness such as this. Truly a work o fart.

Thanks to MS! Bigger image here!

Iranian Govt: Persian Pixels Pwned

Posted on 10 July by Vernon
Not only do Iran’s missile pictures reveal a shocking gap in that nation’s ability to use the clone tool, our patented Extra-Contrast-O-Vision shows how clumsy they are at comping. Presumably the third missile didn’t go off and rather than trying to relight the touchpaper they resorted to Photoshop.

Getty has the original here. Reddit has an interesting discussion on this here. I haven’t checked my mail yet, but thanks to everyone who sent this in.

IRS: Now Add The Image From Line 48

Posted on 13 May by Vernon
Scene: Gigantic meeting room at IRS headquarters. Sixty IRS directors and managers sit at a long table.

Secretary to the Treasury: Ladies, gentlemen, we all know why we’re here. I’m afraid this is going to be a long, difficult meeting. We’re going to art direct a photograph on our website.

Thanks to Lynn T! Original here.

Let’s Be Cruel To: Be Kind Rewind

Posted on 28 April by Vernon
Be Kind Rewind has a theme of cheap-and-cheerful pastiches of existing iconic movies, hence the grade-school-style painted background. What’s unfortunate is the middle-school-style perspective distorts and remedial head transplants in the photomontage in the foreground.

It’s neither bad-enough-to-look-deliberate, nor good-enough-to-not-appear-on-photoshopdisasters. Bigger version here.

Edit: Belated thanks to Señorita Puri, mea culpa!

Good Luck Chuck: Jessica Alba Is Constipated

Posted on 23 April by Vernon
Good Luck Chuck PSD
Aside from the inappropriate appropriation of the John Lennon/Yoko Ono pose, this Good Luck Chuck poster is one of those beautiful images that reminds you that not everything can be solved by pasting heads on bodies.

If you can’t see the awfulness, ask yourself if Jessica Alba looks as though she is even in the same room as Dane Cook.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in; bigger version is here.

Ford: Putting Composition Last

Posted on 20 April by Vernon
Hi! I’m AD at whatever advertising agency Ford has in Ireland. I used to think composition and perspective didn’t matter. You kids might think it’s cool, but it isn’t! You can’t just smush images together, or you’ll end up like me, appearing on photoshopdisasters. Is that cool? Stay straight kids, don’t end up like me.

Thanks to Nersh.
