Besides, I don’t think anyone would even care.
One of the perks (or perils, to some) of working around people who are quite knowledgable in Photoshop is that sometimes, no matter how hard you try, your face will eventually show up on someone else’s torso. Some will retaliate and some will take it seriously and ignore you for a week. While some, well, they hold internal contests.
Yesterday, a colleague buzzed us a link of another colleague’s glamour photo whose name shall not be divulged in this post:
A few seconds later, another colleague sent out a YM blast about a design contest of sorts. Whoever edits this photo best will win a prize (a toy at his discretion, he said). After a few minutes, I came up with a couple of comps. But this one won the third prize just this morning, as judged by the victim himself:
And the spoils of the skirmish:
Hotwheels Chevy Camaro® Concept
2nd Place wins Watchmen Issue No. 1
1st place gets a Captain America® Bobble Head
I love this office.
UPDATE: A map from wikimapia.org. Now you won’t have the “I can’t find the venue” alibi. :)
After what seemed like a decade-long hiatus, I’m posting entries again — and, hopefully, not just shameless plugs like this. And here’s my temporary New Year (and Chinese New Year) entry: “Hello 2009!”
A few days ago, a colleague shared this:
I’ll be nice and not comment on the haphazardly done faux-”floor” that looks like someone just bled to death on the entire set. Maybe someone forgot to clean up after himself? Stock photo geeks would know that the familiar watermark over the puzzle pieces tells us that the photo is from iStockphoto. I did a quick search using the keywords “jigsaw puzzle” but apparently somebody did a good job in using one that isn’t easily searchable. And besides, I don’t like the idea of spending the entire day going through over a thousand images just to find the exact photo.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for free (and nice) stuff. But I also believe that when you do something not legal, you’d make all the effort not to get caught.
