Photoshop Gets Into the Wrong Hands, Terror Ensues

Allow us to indulge our Hollywood roots, just for a moment, as we admire this stunning showcase of the potential of commercial graphic design software. US Weekly, always the visionary of the tabloid world, has created this fake cover to showcase their photo-editing skills in imagining what celeb spawn will look like in 2026. They even hired “forensic imaging specialist Joe Mullins” to help create the professional-grade “If They Mated.”

But wait–that’s not all. Technology has also allowed for the time-lapse “morphing” of these children with well-groomed eyebrows into adult celebrities. We’re not sure how this will be useful to your design work today, but you could always show this to your parents as yet another example of “what you do.”
