Autodesk, in common with other multi-billion-dollar corporations, periodically spends large sums on redeveloping and then consistently presenting its corporate image. It then spends even larger sums making itself look silly in court by claiming exclusive rights to such things as empty orange rectangles. Strange, then, that Autodesk should slip up online when it comes [...]

Some of you may recall me suggesting this course of action a couple of years ago. How close do you think I got with my artist’s impression? Original images © 2008 and 2009 Shaan [...] 17 January 2010, 1:03 pm |  One comment | Tags: Fun, Image manipulation, Pictures, Psychic Prediction, Shaan Hurley | Category: AU2009, Fun, Image manipulation, Navel Gazing, Other Blogs, Photography, Pictures One of the blogs I read regularly is Photoshop Disasters, which recently posted a picture of a Ralph Lauren ad. In common with many fashion photos, this showed a skinny model that appeared to have been further skinnified on somebody’s computer to the point that the poor waif was ridiculously deformed. Like this:

Truly, truly awful work here. This is the tenth and last (so far) edition of Gaahl’s Tr00 Life Adventures. Click the thumbnail to see the full size image. This one contains a few in-jokes (e.g. “many Norwegian countries”) from the Mike Portnoy forum community that was the [...] 3 March 2009, 12:25 pm | Leave a comment | Tags: Fun, Gaahl, Image manipulation, Metal, Music, Peter Beste, Photography | Category: Fun, Image manipulation, Music, Photography, Pictures Pathetic perspective, courtesy of the work experience person doing Clark Rubber‘s brochure images: The same background is used for another table set. The perspective doesn’t match in that one either, but it’s not as bad as this. Maybe it’s just CAD geeks who notice this sort of thing? One more to come from [...] 30 December 2008, 9:14 pm | 3 comments | Tags: Advertising, Clark Rubber, Fun, Image manipulation, Pictures | Category: Advertising, Fun, Image manipulation More Fotoshop phun courtesy of Clark Rubber: We’ll allow the oversized box and balls as an artistic device. But the woman has been cut out (badly) and pasted in with little regard to scale; that water is about 30″ deep. She either has very stumpy legs compared with her skinny top half, or [...] 16 December 2008, 4:02 pm | One comment | Tags: Advertising, Clark Rubber, Fun, Image manipulation, Pictures | Category: Fun, Image manipulation, Pictures I’ve mentioned before that I love the Photoshop Disasters blog, and I’ve also mentioned that Clark Rubber has provided me with great service. Here’s the first of a few posts that combine the two. I recently received a Clark Rubber brochure, and from the look of it (and the web site), Clark Rubber is [...] 11 December 2008, 1:42 pm | Leave a comment | Tags: Advertising, Clark Rubber, Fun, Image manipulation, Other Blogs, Pictures | Category: Advertising, Customer Service, Fun, Image manipulation, Other Blogs, Pictures I love this blog: http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/ OK, some of the “disasters” are a bit nitpicking, but there are some truly awful image manipulation efforts out there, some associated with very big companies. Look back over the archives, there are some real classics. Lesson to large companies: don’t penny-pinch, it’s not worth it. I can’t remember [...] 15 November 2008, 9:05 am | Leave a comment | Tags: Fun, Image manipulation, Other Blogs | Category: Advertising, Autodesk, Bentley, Fun, Image manipulation, Other Blogs, Pictures Where to next on Gaahl’s ever-changing career path?

This band’s latest album, Watershed, does not come with conventional lyrics in the booklet, but rather a page full of rune-type characters. There are actually two different pages in different editions of the album, and [...] 11 July 2008, 8:44 pm | Leave a comment | Tags: Fun, Image manipulation, Music, Opeth, Pictures, Video | Category: Fun, Image manipulation, Music, Video This week, save the last dance for Gaahl.

I have done ten of these, and I like this one the best.

This post will redress the balance a little. This is a silly video I made based on the song Ghost of Perdition from the [...] 28 May 2008, 3:35 pm | Leave a comment | Tags: Fun, Image manipulation, Music, Opeth, Video | Category: Fun, Image manipulation, Music, Pictures, Video In this week’s adventure, Gaahl goes shopping. No, it’s not your eyes, the background image is fuzzy. A couple of things may need explaining. According to his mother, Gaahl is vegetarian (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Also, Gorgoroth was his band. They have now split up and ownership of the name [...] 14 May 2008, 12:29 pm | One comment | Tags: Fun, Gaahl, Image manipulation, Innards, Metal, Music | Category: Fun, Image manipulation, Music, Pictures In this week’s adventure, Gaahl gets a new job.

The Satanic themes aren’t my scene either. Black metallers in most cases really are Satanists, unlike most metal musicians who are mistakenly thought of as Satanic by [...] 11 April 2008, 10:16 pm | 5 comments | Tags: Fun, Gaahl, Image manipulation, Metal, Music | Category: Fun, Image manipulation, Music, Pictures I was intrigued to see Autodesk personality and fellow blogger Shaan Hurley posting a photo with his long-standing facial fuzz removed. Shaan may be moving in the opposite direction to myself (I’m getting hairier with age), but personally I don’t think he has gone far enough. I would like to see Shaan sporting a [...] 28 March 2008, 9:13 pm | 3 comments | Tags: Fun, Image manipulation, Pictures, Shaan Hurley | Category: Fun, Image manipulation, Other Blogs, Pictures |
