It’s been a particularly bitter week at The Factor. We bitched about another bloody logo contest (again). We moaned about credit card fraud. We introduced a heavy duty series - Designing a Logo - that while long on info, was short on fun. No more for this week. Today’s gonna be Bitter Free Friday (probably make it a regular feature). No bitching. No moaning. And bitter-free. Just some light-posting and stuff that we find cool, amusing or strange. Maybe related to design. Maybe not.

First up - this Photoshop monstrosity for a Hungarian Red Bull sponsored film festival website (pass the brain bleach please). Not the girl. The touch-up job. I understand wanting to make the young lady appear happy and all, but we did they give her a mouth that looks like it could swallow a baby’s head?

Look again.

One of the freakiest things I’ve seen in a long time. Can’t really take credit for the find though - just one of many stellar offerings over at Photoshop Disasters - a great blog dealing with the often hilarious results that can happen when a copy of Adobe Photoshop gets into the wrong hands. Spent an hour or so rummaging through the examples and reading the snark filled comments.

Worth a looksee if you’re into this kind of thing.

Update: Apparently this isn’t a Photoshop ‘disaster’ per se. The lovely young girl is supposed to look like she has the smile of a large-mouth-bass, the result (according to the website) of too many romantic comedy movies (hey, what do you want from me - the site’s in Hungarian). There’s a rather heated debate going on in the comment section of the related post over at PSD, many wondering if the image should be added to the blog at all. Still pretty freaky though…
