Ping: Anyone with mad photoshopping skillz

Poli · 07-06-2010, 03:23 PM

I want to play a gag on my roommate while he's off to Europe. I'd like to send him a picture of our backyard with what appears to be an Orange T or a checkerboard endzone painted on it.

Can anyone out there help me out?

Celeval · 07-06-2010, 03:26 PM

I would suggest actually painting a checkerboard end zone or Orange T.

JediKooter · 07-06-2010, 03:40 PM

I can give it a go. You have an example and when do you need it by?

Poli · 07-06-2010, 03:44 PM

PM forthcoming.

Poli · 07-06-2010, 04:04 PM

Anyone seeing a photoshopped picture of my backyard on facebook needs to either act surprised or keep quiet.

Poli · 07-09-2010, 01:38 PM

Jedikooter hooked me up with a nice photo. I'll post it here once I put it on facebook. I'm having to hold off since I need a bright, shiny day for the day I post it since that's the condition we had a few days back when I took the original picture.

Thanks to JIMGA and others for helping me sell the con on facebook. I know he has been checking facebook and has to be a little nervous about the grass.

Poli · 07-10-2010, 06:33 AM

Pic to be posted via facebook this afternoon...I'll get it here when I finally get home. The trap has been set. I've sent the picture out to a few friends already who totally bought into it.

Thanks again to everyone for adding to the level of concern for my roommate.

JK did an awesome job...not one person has called me out on the photoshopping.

Poli · 07-11-2010, 07:39 AM

Roommate finally saw the photo...I liked his response.

Joe · 07-11-2010, 07:49 AM

What did he say

Toddzilla · 07-11-2010, 07:59 AM

the edges are a little too straight, but it seems to have worked.

Poli · 07-11-2010, 08:31 AM

After Todd's response, he thinks I'm going to have to replant the grass.

Way to make him a little nervous.

Flasch186 · 07-11-2010, 10:10 AM

great job JK

Chubby · 07-11-2010, 10:20 AM

Guy down the street actually did this in his front yard with the U of Miami logo, he DID have to replant all the grass

If you used the paint I think you used, it should come out in a few months at most, esp if it's been rainy. If you're not getting much rain, however, you got problems - that stuff stays for a long time.

well rodney...i called a landscaping crew to fix the damage. they told me that the only way to get rid of paint was to remove the grass and top layer of dirt. they said the sooner the better because the paint is toxic and the longer it si...ts the longer the toxicen stays in the dirt. they will be there tomorrow morning at 9 am...sucks i have to take of another morning from work!!!! haha...joke on me the worst part is the bill is estimated at $1200 of which i had to put down a $500 deposit....looks like your rent is going up next month

johnnyshaka · 07-26-2010, 09:56 AM

Put a tarp or something over the yard for when he gets back and tell him you are trying to protect your masterpiece. Should add to the drama a little...

Awesome gag, though...well done!
