The iPod Silhouettes: Before and After

It's neat to see what the original photos looked like before they were turned into silhouettes, and I think a kind of confirmation that the imagination can be more powerful than the eyes (i.e. I think the silhouettes look much cooler than the originals).

Note: the original site has already succumbed to the "Digg effect" so you might rather check out this coral cache mirror.

The before pics look like the Zune ad campaign! "Welcome to the Social...hello? anyone out there? hello?"
