An iPod joke!
It was created to complement my article (linked in the caption). It's my first photoshopping attempt, so don't be too mean.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 22:21, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- It's a trip. You might consider muting the trippy colours a bit to help bring out the guy. Or not, he is tripping, apparently. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 02:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- Well, that's an acceptable response. Though that doesn't leave much constructive criticism.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 02:32, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- It is what it's supposed to be. What's to criticize? Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 02:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- Sweet! That's a compliment, I suppose. And coming from Modus, that's almost like getting it from RadX (divided by three :)). Thanks. Though I doubt it's VFP-worthy, to know that it's not crap is helpful (to my ego if nothing else).-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 02:59, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- RadX doesn't come down here. Something about mold. We're okay with that. He never puts a quarter in when he takes a coffee. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 03:17, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Most creative TV show ever
Mostly going for the concept here, I know it's kind of a crappy image (please, somebody redo it properly who knows how to work Photoshop ;-) Basically shows my opinion of that stupid show that everyone seems to think is a completely new concept. ("If you'd just get that fourth wall installed...") Yeah, do whatever you want with it as far as I care. Megalomaniac Martin “The Unfortunately Unfeatured” Ultima • (VOTE FOR ME!) • talk • (AND MY PICS TOO!) • contribs 00:01, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- That's not what we do here. Mostly, we help people to make their 'chops better. Sometimes we make rude noises. On Friday we have a barbeque. For this image, try to make the "'s" look the same as the other "american idol" script. Maybe offset the "got talent" lower so the the "got" doesn't disappear into the "american idol" section (black on blue is tough to read). Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 00:22, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Well, help make it better, redo it, same thing. OK, I guess not. Anyway, I did try to make it look like the original Idol script – the problem was, by hand it didn't look particularly convincing, so I just used GIMP's neon logo tool to kludge it. But yeah, thanks for your suggestions, so long as the concept's OK I can try a little harder with my chopping.

- Sure, I guess. Title? Gulf War II: Electric Boogaloo. Or something. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 15:00, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- It could probably be used for that. It's already used as a screenshot for the Weapons of Mass Destruction (game). --[citations needed] 21:35, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

--Weri long wang 00:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- Try to find a pic of a Subway restaurant that was taken straight on, rather than on an angle, then reduce the number of colours and lower its resolution (there may be an effect to "pixelate"). This should make it look "in game", hopefully. Also, he's got no legs, which seems odd. Most people have them. I've got two myself. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 06:57, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- I tried to pixelate the subway picture but couldn't find the right effect to make it look a 1991 video game.--Weri long wang 11:33, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- I've never tried it, to be honest, but if you save the background at, say, 1/4 it's resolution, then put that lo-res version here and stretch it to fit the regular resolution, it should be "pixelated" (you'll need to mess with the resolution, probably. 1/4 is just a guess). Lowering the colour depth of the background should make it more EGA-like. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 11:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
I'll try MS Paint for that first, see what happens. --Weri long wang 15:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- Here, 16 colour version. --Weri long wang 15:24, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- Now just fill in the clear space on his arm. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 15:33, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- New version with full arm. --Weri long wang 15:54, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- Again, a tad late, but I'm certain that there is a filter that allows one to pixelate images. That's just me, though.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 13:02, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

- I don't know if this is the worst pun ever, but it's got to be in the top ten. I'm wondering mostly if this is too obscure. I'm also wondering if it's funny. I'm also also wondering if anyone can find a home for this. He's housetrained. This might be a better caption ...Picture yourself on a train in a station/With plasticine porters with looking glass ties/Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile/de Gaulle with kaleidoscope eyes. Or maybe not. Now I've got that damn song stuck in my head. Thanks a lot, brain! Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 03:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

- It looks okay to me. You may want to clean up the edge around the hook. The clone brushing behind it is a bit suspect, though. The trick with the clone brush is to mix it up (paint a bit, then clone from a slightly different area) or it ends up with the repeating pattern that ruins the effect. --Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 01:59, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Georgidas and Xenijad
- Play with the brightness/contrast/colour levels on the heads. They're much brighter and distinctly different colours than the bodies. Either Bush's head needs to be smaller or Mahmoud's needs to be smaller, too. --Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 20:36, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- To me, this is a sepia tone image with two full-color heads slapped onto it. So I would fix the head sizes, and adjust the colors into the sepia ranges, then I would address the lighting issues. I also have an issue with the expressions on the faces - what are they trying to convey? Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 20:51, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- They look just like that time I was in prison. I was the front guy with the vaguely surprised look on his face. Perhaps I've said too much. Maybe one day I'll tell you about that time I went on a canoe trip in the deep south. --Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 20:54, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Played around with filtering for a bit and reduced size. Before, I was so caught up with the (perceived) awesomeness of the idea that the execution suffered a tad. What they're supposed to convey?

Wilbur thought he had won the coin toss to fly the Machine, and all went well for the first twenty seconds until the leather straps holding him to the damned thing snapped and his body was flung into the ocean.
- After you get Gimp (or Microsoft Photodraw on ebay - its the graphics program for people who can't hack Gimp) then you need to start thinking satire and context. While I see what you are getting at, to me there are two issues with this image that don't work for me.
- First is the builing on the left edge of the image - it needs to go.
- The other issue is, even if the chop issue is resolved and cleaned up, all you have is a 747 and Kitty Hawk - that isn't enough to get more than an "eh" out of me - because there is an important element missing - Wilbur Wright. Where is he because he's suppossed to be on the plane flying it. So for comparision purposes, here's my rough take on what makes the joke work for me. (note - I understand that this needs a whole lot of help - it was just a quick chop to show how I would have done it.) Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 22:27, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

- The bumps where the "t" and "d" go in the Gatorade logo need to be removed. -- The Zombiebaron 23:20, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
- The black border that you added to match the existing border is awfully inconsistent & blurry. Try making the headwrap smaller, so that you can see more of the lightningy thingy; that'll make it more recognizable. "Jihade" may work better. Or not. --Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 23:32, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

- The border for the turban is too black, and may not even be neccesary. The border around the letters should be redone completely to match the letters. The sticks of dynamite pop out too much, mask them and shade them so they blend into the picture. The letters of the logo should be green like the gatorade logo. -- Kaizer the Bjorn takkun (nya nya) (1961 model!) Check out T61! 16:09, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

It appears that many people do not understand this picture. My guess is that it's saying that Africa can no longer be saved and should just be nuked. It appears to be a parody of Live Aid which is an extremely esoteric subject already. In terms of quality, there is nothing wrong with this picture, its just that the concept is too hard to pull off and even then, the joke isn't very funny. -- Kaizer the Bjorn takkun (nya nya) (1961 model!)

Pavement Diver
Does the diver's trajectory look too off or is it just me from starring at it for 2 long? --AmericanBastard 03:36, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Little bit. He's diving more 9 o'clock, while the board is pointing 10:15. Also, he's too bright; dim him a bit, play with the brightness/contrast. --Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 04:04, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- The sun is supposed to be exposing him; from about 10:00. I darkened the rear slightly to add depth. So rotate him a few degrees? Considering distance, I placed him to be about 75% from the peek of his bound. Does the diving board look a bit funky? --AmericanBastard 04:45, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- The board does look funky. It's got no texture (it looks more like you painted a board, which you did, methinks). It may work better if he's just at the "leap" point near the start of a dive. From his posture it looks like that'd be best. With his current position in the air he'd be in the "stretch" point of the dive (and stretched out, rather than crouched). These are pretty technical diving terms, I admit; I'm somewhat of an expert in these matters, having never seen any form of diving whatsoever. --Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 20:38, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Im not at my computer with adobe and won't be for another few days. When I get back on i'll move the diver closer to the start and add some kind of texture to the board. --AmericanBastard 02:35, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Personall I feel the board needs to be longer instead of the diver closer to the board - after all, the diving platform is out over the water in the real wolrd, so it would reason thatthe board should be further out and over the side of the building.

- 2nd Modification! --AmericanBastard 23:23, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- Now it looks like he's about to fall over backwards. Try rotating both him and the board CCW until it looks like he's trying to go left. His shadow on the board is too "blobby"; try cutting it back a bit. Picture yourself as the sun looking down on him and make up his shadow from that.
You look down on every one. You're the sun, damnit! --Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 00:25, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
- The length of the Board is good as is the edge that he's diving over. The thing with the light on the diver is that it seems to be coming from two different areas. I would 1) tone down the light on him. or crank up the light fill effect on the buildings around him, and shade the tops of his thighs. Then I would tip him ever so slightly forward on the board so that it looks as if he plans to tumble over the edge of the board. Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 23:34, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- The shadow on the ground is wierd. Removing it seems the painlessest way to go about things. -- The Zombiebaron 00:39, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
- Right now this picture looks like it could be something you would see on Livejournal as a poor attempt at a funny.
- The board should be going outward from the building, and should be flat. Right now it looks like the board is jutting out of the roof at an awkward angle.
- The diver is at a strange angle, by the looks of his position, he should be just jumping off the board at about a 45 degree angle.
- The diver's lighting does not match the lighting of the rest of the picture. Try to find sources that are similar enough in lighting that there is less editing necessary to correct it.
Overall: From the looks of your sources, this image may not be possible to pull off as an actual photo. In this situation I would develop a two dimensional black and white "sign-style" picture. It would still get the same message across without the problems with editing quality. -- Kaizer the Bjorn takkun (nya nya) (1961 model!) Check out T61! 16:25, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

- Hmmmmmm...difficult one. One of the strengths of the image is its off the wallness, so I'm not sure that working to blend some of the elements into the base image will improve it. I hate the "logo" on the screen, the text looks awful, also the text that appears beneath the FleshLight gives the impression you've just copied and pasted straight onto it. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)

I'll put something better there. As for the, err, deposits place, I think more sterile looking, more better. It couldn't make it as a *heavenly sounds* 'Featured Image' if it is too pornographic.
