Maybe it's just foggy. Or a portal to a magical realm!

i think that nike is a great brand that has lost its "perspective"

J said...

how exactly did they miss that the ground breaks off??

david said...

Someone with more patience than me would scan the crowds for the inevitable repeated, slightly shuffled around, persons as well - I bet.

Alejo said...

Actually I'm impressed that they photographed enough people that the runner-cloning isn't immediately obvious. The perspective fuckup that the whole shot is based upon isn't so hot though....

Mehsi said...

It is the endless road. As well as endless runners..

congratulations! you are team no. 1 said...

The Amazing Race: Alternate Dimension

Luis said...

Amidee said...

It seems to me still being there... No undo at all

Charlene said...

Has the designer ever been anywhere near a 10K race? Or do they think that runners over 25, the ones with the money to buy their overpriced equipment, aren't cool enough to appear in an ad?

Or are the ones over 25 all in the earthquake zone?

Bruno said...

the blond guy are scaring, but the girl at his side are a lot taller and scaring :P

Except for H & R Block, none of these companies has a sense of humor about these fails. Too bad.

This blog needs to be renamed "Photoshop Mistakes," since very few posts are actually "disasters." The batman-in-front-of-pole was clearly a disaster, but just because you can tell it's photoshopped, it's not a disaster.

That's not a disaster! Take a look on a screenshot of mail that Apple sent to all subscribers

You're all glossing over the biggest issue with this picture, which I've highlighted for you all here - always pay attention to large crowds.

CharlyR said...

@Jeremy McLellan: The batman-staring-at-a-pole was (really) bad art direction (=idiocy) at the most. So you see it's all about definition. And if professionals make mistakes like some of the ones posted here (including this one) I'd call it disastrous.

@romel: So what? Apple obviously didn't use the f*ed up version, but Nike did (take a look at their site).

Except that the Photoshop file extension is ".PSD" not ".PSM".

TIDAL WAAAAAAAVVVVEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

But yeah, it's really messed up.

Ron said...

Why did the racers cross the road? Un...shouldn't they be running DOWN the road, instead of ACROSS the road? What a bunch of saps. I like the floating mountain, too.

Zsuzsa said...

We all can make mistakes :))
I love to play with photoshop. Check out mine.

curvature said...

The person in the front row who's texting is going to get trampled when the starter gun goes off.
Mind you, only half the people behind her appear to have feet, so it might not be so bad.

photoxris said...

Epic edit failure.

I like the blue bandanna-wearing guy in the second row, to the left of the blond dude, who is turned completely away from the race and staring directly at the camera.

They could've photoshopped in a chicken crossing the road. teehee

maria said...

there's a brunette girl with a white head band (( about the 5th person from the left )) doesn't have legs or the side of her body that's farthest from the camera.

Orangetiki said...

If a 5 year old can make a shoe, he can work a computer.

aerosolos said...

So if everyone can count all legs missing and if people can´t look to the camera, why is this post pointing to a road that looks just cloned and in website isn't there http://www.nike10k.com.br/blog/2008/07/03/a-run-americas-agora-e-global-nike-human-race/, i just don't get it, you must have x-ray vision to see missing legs, i neither try to count them, most of photocomposition aas errors if they were disected.

Anonymous said...

it looks like they're all poised to cross a road (a 10-kilometer wide road?). doesn't look like a marathon at all.

F1MIkal said...

They have fixed the image on the Nike+ site!!

too phunn-ee!
