That's amazingly bad.

Ahruman said...

I can do that with my three-jointed arm right now. (It’s amazing what you can do with that Spore creature creator…)

H13 said...

ok where do they find these people, maybe I should change professions.

Jayne said...

Wow, that's terrible.

*awaits all the people claiming this isn't a disaster because Beyonce really looks like that, honest...*

Alan said...

OMG!!!!!!!! This one is really awful. One of the worst disasters I´ve seen ever.

AskPeggy said...

It probably costs twice as much to book her hands as well, so they decided to save themselves a bob or two and expertly comp in a cheaper pair!

Kate said...

Now, now. Can't you see that she's got both arms clenched really tight to her torso, and one droopy boob slung over one arm to make it look voluptuous? I mean, isn't it obvious??

Mark said...

MAN... that is so bad, I don't even know what they were thinking! At first glance it's OK... and it would appear that's all the supervisor did.

Coeluh said...

These people should just use paint or something. Screw the pixelation.

Aggrazel said...

Thats not a disaster, the hand model is just laying down in front of her with arms outstretched holding the product. ... yeah .. thats the ticket ...

Jac Hill said...

Ugh. What makes me mad is that it's the comp that's the screw up. The picture of Beyonce is well done. It's obvious that the hands and bottle were just added over.

I'd go as far as saying that the bottle and hands are different shots; look how perfectly aligned with the camera it is.

Farlin Paulino (Blaze) said...

I've made better photoshopping with paint. Armani please hire me

Lisa said...

That is just freaky.

Thomas Westgard said...

Famous face with product displayed prominently. I bet most people who see the ad won't even notice.

omentum said...

Well, no one ever said it was HER hands! It's perfectly obvious to me that she's sitting on the face of a hand model!

Not a 'disaster!

;-D

PS: my word verification is "consysta" hee hee

Tom Dougherty said...

I'm looking for work, and I'm an artist with digital trickery in his portfolio, so seeing these assholes working "professionally" makes my blood boil.

FreakyTee said...

You people are retarded this i not a disaster!!!

Just kidding i wanted to throw out a "not a disaster" line.

But seriously i can't this wasn't caught. Better yet i can't believe that people get paid to approve such things.

Rajaat99 said...

Horrible!

Lia said...

I like how they didn't edit out the stuff between the wrists.

Stacia said...

The fingers on those hands are freaky, too. Maybe it's just because we don't know whose hands those are.

Ron said...

Plastic man. Er, woman.

Alejo said...

Wow. Who knew Beyonce was really Mr. Fantastic? I always thought she wassexy, but I have to say this puts whole new wrinkle on things.

The real question, though, is where are all the people who are continually bitching about the post quality? If you folks actually want to contribute something meaningful, why don't you come on and give some positive comments so Cosmo knows what you like to see?

lilacsigil said...

Weirdly enough, Beyonce does have double-jointed shoulders (there's a really creepy clip of her demonstrating this on Jay Leno's show)...but they go backwards, not forwards.

Loner Gamer said...

Oh no, one of Ripley's clones from Alien Resurrection survived.

FreakyTee said...

I almost drowned in the tub when i saw the same ad in cosmo today. In the other ad beyonce was facing forward with the same hands but you still could tell that her arms wasn't that long.

pootpoot said...

It's hard to believe that with the kind of money involved here, they couldn't even afford to pay a hobbyist 50 bucks to do the job right. I mean, is this supposed to look weird to catch your attention?

Kate said...

I can't even tell what they were trying to do with that. That's disturbing.

Dave Q. said...

That is terrible. I hope whoever did that didn't get paid.

Ai said...

My arms sprout from directly under my breasts, too. I don't see anything wrong here.

Seriously though. I don't care what the deadline was, or how busy the department heads were... This should NEVER have seen the light of day.

Even if those were the only two photos the "designer" (using that term very very loosely, here) had to use there's no excuse for this monstrosity. Crop it or something. The blatant awfulness that spews from this image could have been concealed by any number of cheap tricks so why wasn't it?

VengefulLlama said...

there's always plenty of trolls in the comments claiming that the photograph was taken at a funny angle and this blog is consequently dishonest and they're never ever reading it again and they demand a refund-- well let's see anyone defend this!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!



I don't even dare to use Photoshop because I'd feel embarrassed if my pictures looked like a Kindergarten collage. I guess the people that made that ad doesn't know what being embarrassed is.

Rozee said...

i feel bad for the company dat paid a to get this done! hee hee

Saurio said...

You don't understand.
The hands are from the lady of the lake, the perfume is Excalibur and Beyonce is King Arthur.

That or the person who made the comp has no idea how humans look like.

And my word is verivel

brunswick said...

Another Tyrannosaurus?

EktoGamat said...

aahuauhahuahuhuauha Man I love this blog!!!!!! Is my garanteee of very loud laughs right in the morning ;)

Miranda said...

THAT is a true PS disaster.

Velvet said...

Oh my god. She became Quasimodo. Poor thing.

Dalrick said...

It bothers me that the people doing this comp work are probably making 5 times my salary (if not more) as a graphic designer.

Just awful, lazy work.

Aldemar said...

That designer were watching too much that MTV show "Scarred"

Liisi said...

It's like they took a random picture of Beyonce and plopped some model's perfume bottle-holding hands in front of it and hoped no-one would notice.

Zen Wizard said...

I just had a great idea for a Star Trek alien.

Chris said...

Lion King

fading in the sun said...

argh what's wrong with her shoulders aaaaaaaaaaahhhh!

gazzatrone said...

Currently out of work.

Who do I send my resume to?

I'm surprised they bothered taking the time to colour match. Thinking about it, with such ineptness they probably over shot the deadline coz it took them so long to do this simple task.

Miranda said...

VELOCIRAPTOR ATTAACK

The Style PA said...

That looks like a very painful deformity. I don't know how that ever got approved.

Miss Jamie Lauren said...

That's just terrible...I can photoshop better than that and my 50 day trial ran out 3 months ago =|

VerneB_Photo said...

She's Beyonce, she has people to hold up the products for her, duh.
