Time to reflect on those failed attempts of digital creativity and let the self incriminating evidence loose on the forum. If you've never created one of those, time to prove you can.

Try not to flame anyone too much though, we do need returning customers.

I'll kick this off with a failed attempt at an eye catcher for an ebay add. Mostly made with the web images further below

I would like to point your attention at my snarky remark on the bottom right corner
"no cats were impressed during the making of this photo"

A banner for a watchface I developed. It was actually hosted by the Pebble team for a little while and didn't get prematurely removed like my "Finally, a Pebble watchface guaranteed not to contain asbestos" banner.

Now you say post your worst PS image but actually, technically, this isn't bad! artistically however, you should hang your head in shame! :)

I would, but it's purely text and not particularly interesting. It was kind of a joke I threw together before I thought any of my watchfaces would be feature-worthy.

My sentiments exactly. Each element works well by itself, but when you put them all together, it… well, we've all seen it. :p

ok, it's that time of the week

I had serious trouble getting an idea of what to do with the original photo, so this was just experimenting; horrible & outlandish as it is.

I did come to realize last week that the archive with the shyte work (and then some) has been lost to eternity, when some clumsy dude knocked off my hdd dock, o_O, which ultimately means I have to create horrid stuff a la carte to bring the low out

Ok here's one of (if not the first) entry I did for a Photo contest on here. I believe the theme was squares. Anyway I remember thinking how good this was when I did it. I don't own Photoshop, so I think this was done with OnOne Suite 7 or something.
How did I not see those lugs sticking out from my cut and paste?

Not a problem. I have broad shoulders.
I was going to go through Flickr and delete my old crap, but I kind of like seeing how I have got (a bit) better.

Lol same here... Some of the early photos i took were howlers.... Thankfully, now 3 years later I am STARTING to actually look and see before pressing the shutter... Maybe in another few years I will be competent...

Oh, man, I don't even really know. It started out as a crack in the snow revealing lava, but I realized that the perspective of the field would require a large crack to lose detail too quickly as they approach the vanishing point, so I changed the mask from a crack to… a waffle iron.

I know this thread is old, but it has too much potential to let die. Here's something from when I was fourteen. I was going for comically terrible, but I think I overshot.

Luckily, while looking for an old movie poster spoof I remembered I had made, but not found as of yet, I came upon some other extra excellent creations.

I won't be posting them all at once of course!!
