Finish Covering The Cat With Carpet

This video, You Suck At Photoshop #2, (series of 3) is totally geeky, but pretty damn funny. Maybe only if you’ve used Photoshop, but  the VO is hilarious even if you haven’t.

Can’t Wait To Go Back To The Shop

And tell my boss what my plan is for his plans for me. I’m pretty sure he’ll be okay with it. Either that or he’ll start screaming at me and turning red like he loves to do. I’m ready for either one.

Check out these new photos from the latest Motorola RAZR campaign with Beckham. The James Bond looking one is fine (I mean, who doesn’t love a guy in a suit) – but the shirtless one irritates me. Why is the phone around his neck so obviously placed there via Photoshop? It’s distracting.

Free Photoshop?

I could have used this yesterday when our photographer showed us the final versions of our new staff photos. Maybe I could have made myself look a little more presentable. I mean, he retouched my photo (a lot…), but I still look like I had a few the night before. Oh. I did. Anyway, this free, light, online version of Photoshop, called Photoshop Express, isn’t available yet, but John Nack from Adobe says it will be soon.

I Retouch Myself

Every agency retouches photos for ads, but this site is a fucking eye-opener. We all know that advertising is deception and lies, but these kind of before and after photos always kill me. I always feel better after I see what crap some celebrities look like before Photoshop. I still don’t look as good as the before pictures. Thank god for my cosmetic surgery fund.

Don’t know who this Criss Angel guy is…

..but his people suck at Photoshop – I mean look at the abs and the big blur over his lovely necklace. Other than that, I love this site – original, viral stuff. And I kinda like his used-up, clen look. You need to know the phone number of the friend you’re going to send it to, because it’s a 2 part deal. And if you don’t know their number, they’re not really your friend, are they?

Side note: If you’re the creative director of a local office of one of the nation’s largest ad agencies, don’t wear khakis, a blue blazer with gold buttons and red Sally Jesse Raphael glasses. Just sayin’.
