Westfield: The Right Side

When you use Photoshop, less is more and there’s no “right” setting. Also, don’t take those instructions too literally.

Photoshop Disasters

If your selfie looks like this, you need to check your camera or  you need to check with your doctor. A sassy pose like that loses some credibility when one armpit is askew and the other arm is more akin to a toothpick than a limb.

Thanks Neal. The original can be found in Westfield Shopping Centres in Australia.

Deep River Snacks: The Unnatural Life

Considering their slogan is “Enjoy Life Naturally,” you’d think at least one part of this picture would be, y’know – natural.

Photoshop Disasters

The only part of this picture that looks semi-correct  is that outlet – which is a nice touch in a chip advert, Deep River. Does that floor have a drop shadow? Curiosity abound with the table’s misty black aura and the middle picture’s trend-setting upward shadow, too. Getting that dog out of the picture is animal rescue at this point.

Thanks Alexander! You can find the original on the Deep River Facebook page.

Don’t Resist: A Three-Parter

For only one-and-a-half Euros, you too can be the subject of a confusing Photoshop disaster.

Photoshop disasters

This disaster was submitted without any indication of what it’s actually trying to sell. My French can pick out something at the bottom that suggests “for your health…” but where the statement goes from there is likely a warning against dismemberment – though “trop sucre” in the bottom right means too much sugar, so I guess it’s warning against dismemberment and diabetes?

Let’s hear what you think this disaster is trying to accomplish.

Thanks Phil.

H&M: Angelina Jolie Leg

Sometimes I want to know what’s going on under a skirt. This is not one of those times.

Photoshop Disasters

When a leg starts to resemble a kickstand, it’s may be time for H&M to re-evaluate their graphics department. Seriously guys, you provide so much content for this site that we may have to start paying you.

Thanks Coraline. You can see the original on the H&M site.

Fleni: Big Hands and Big Brains

The key to making a smartphone seem sleeker is to hire the hand model with a thumb bigger than his forearm.

Photoshop Disasters

Some people who are addicted to their phones would kill to have the manoeuvrability that dire digit would allow on a touch screen. Other, more sensible people would seek the help of a doctor as soon as possible.

Thanks Basile. the original was found in a train station in Argentina.
