Imaginative Architecture. The Fiction Series by Photographer Filip Dujardin.

above: one of Filip Dujardin's architecture composite photographs

Fast Company ran a post the other day on their Co.Design site, inspired by the wonderful design blog, Dezeen, about the work of Victor Enrich. Enrich is a Spanish photographer who photoshops together various pieces of architecture together to create surreal buildings shaped like french fries and guns, an example of which is shown below.


above: Victor Enrich's Defense, a gun shaped building, is one of the images in Co.Design's article.

This instantly reminded me of the work of Belgium commercial photographer Filip Dujardin, who basically does the same sort of digital collage, only in a less whimsical or humorous fashion and with a better eye for composition.

Since many of my readers also browse FastCo. and Dezeen, I thought they might like to see another - and in my opinion, better- version of similarly constructed photographs.

Shown here are the 22 images (including the one at the top of the post) from the Fiction series by Filip Dujardin.

iPlates by Todd Borka. Software Editing Interfaces With Food in Four Fun Plates.

iPlate "Edit Food":

iPlate "Image Size":

iPlate "Ctrl Z":


Not unlike kickstarter, Todd's plates are available for pre-sale at Ulule, a company that raises funds for the production and distribution of creative and imaginative products and ideas.



You can pre-order the set of 4 plates, which includes one of each version and then all the money will be used for production costs, printing, packaging and distributing and Todd will also start the process of finding design stores to distribute the series of plates.



These plates are china and are dishwasher safe. Buy them here
About Todd Borka:

A French illustrator working for both youth literature and magazines, Todd likes mixing the aesthetic of indian ink with the multiplicity of possibilities offered by image editing software.

He says he spends most of his time in front of his screen hacking Photoshop... So, obviously, sometimes, it turns him crazy! I think it makes him creative.

I Have PSD. Clever Short Film Shows How To Photoshop Your Life.

If you use Photoshop as frequently as I do, you find yourself wishing you could use the same set of software tools to edit, undo or re-do many aspects of your own life. Undoing a crazy night, editing blemishes on your skin, altering the color of your wardrobe, even lightening your over-toasted bread.





Julia Vakser Zeltser and the folks over at Hyperakt did just that with their fun "I have PSD" short film, which shows what it would be like to apply Photoshop tools to your real life.





Photoshop dexterity (PSD) is a skillset acquired by proficient users of Adobe Photoshop, the world's most ubiquitous digital tool for creating visual ideas. Qualities of PSD include supernatural powers of imagination and an overwhelming desire to constantly make the world more beautiful. PSD affects people from different walks of life. In fact, there is a high probability that you have PSD.
