DesignFAIL

One of the frequents stops of my daily internet-tour is the wonderfully awful blog Photoshop Disaster.
Beware; you enter the realm of the random copy-pasting, the mad cloning tool of doom, the forgotten Llorem Ipsum and the “can’t you make her look less like a real human being with, you know, curves?”

Apart from the good laugh, I find this blog precious because it reminds me that:

- staring too long at a photoshop document is not good. After a while you don’t see the glaring, in-your-face mistakes anymore.
- proof-reading works with images too.
- clients asking for miracle pictures from scratch with absolutely no money to even buy good stock pic get what they deserve.
- “Dove: Evolution” has never been so true.
- I didn’t lose my time taking live model classes. Hey, I can tell that the “girl” in this picture can’t be real and thus is probably an untalented alien shape-shifter with a very loose grasp on human anatomy trying to make some pocket money. Being able to tell the difference is a useful skill to have in life.
