A drink created with a Blender
A tutorial on creating a fake software box was promoted to the digg front page a while back (516 diggs, no less).
If you are a programmer or someone who is distributing or selling a product that comes on CD/DVD, then nothing helps solidify your image than a software box. It gives off the impression that you are an established business and is an asthetically pleasing way of presenting your software or application.
Hmm… why would you photoshop a fake box, if you had a physical box you could photograph? As someone points out in the digg comments, why have a picture of a box if you don’t sell a physical box at all? Basically, this is a tutorial on how to fake out your customers. To the people who can see through the trick, it gives the impression that the product and the company are fake.
Well, we couldn’t just idly sit by and watch the cheesiness.
Hrmm… What would a real podcasting potion look like if it were created and sold in todays industrialized society? Quaint little mom and pop potion shops and their glass bottles are so passé. They wouldn’t be able to keep up with the demand anyway. We need something that looks like is produced in a factory…
We are proud to announce that we have managed to make something cheesier than the fake software box — a fake podcastin’ potion:
