Build Your Own iPod (In Photoshop)

pshop-05-01-04-howpshop01bDo your iPod-toting friends make fun of your off-brand MP3 player? Cower in portable digital audio sham no longer, friend!

Just use this Photoshop tutorial in the (Unofficial) Photoshop Weblog’s How-To’s Day:  Photoshop Edition to build your own iPod in Photoshop. Printed out on good cardstock from an inkjet or color laser printer, the 2D faux iPod can be slipped into your MP3 player case to create the illusion that you’re cool.

Note:  It has been suggested that this tutorial may also be useful to the minority of people who might actually want to gain some creative utility from having an image of an iPod—for example:  advertising, signage, POS display, web design, and other such frivolous uses.

If you use the font Chicago instead of Arial Narrow it will look more realistic.

Thanks for the information and opinion, Grumpy Secretary, but in the future please consider the effect of your actions. By posting the addresses and phone numbers of two people--one of whom may or may not be the Thomas Slattery you mention--is unethical. How would you feel if someone posted YOUR phone number and address on site that gets 10,000 visitors a day? From the fact that you used an alias instead of your real name, sir, I suspect you wouldn't appreciate it very much. And, of course, from a just a couple of minutes online research, almost anything can be found out about almost anyone. I mean, there are weirdos everywhere--a quick check of police reports within 10 miles of your address showed that even in your MidWest neighborhood there are plenty of people whom you wouldn't want to have your phone number and address and all the other information that can be obtained from just those two bits of info.

I wonder if "Thomas Slattery" is going to build his own? This is the guy who Reuters is reporting has filed an anti-trust suit against Apple. This bottom feeder is claiming he was forced to buy an iPod so he could play iTunes music. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=581&ncid=581&e=1&u=/nm/20050106/tc_nm/tech_apple_ipod_dc Two folks come up on Google, I don't know which one he is, but the Mac bloggersphere needs to press this guy and find out all about him. [Names, addresses, and phone numbers posted by this commentor were removed by the editor] By filing this lawsuit he becomes a public figure, and needs to be closley scrutinized. Is he associated with Microsoft? Or Real or perhaps Napster? What are his true motives? Who is paying for his legal fees? This smells fishy to me?
