Adam Frucci — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:40:00 EDT

I'm a lazy man, so I like any gadget that makes getting food in my belly less labor intensive. Your task for this week's Photoshop Contest is to create just such gadgets that have yet to be invented.

Send your best entries to me at contests@gizmodo.com with Future Kitchen Gadgets in the subject line. Save your files as JPGs or GIFs, and use a FirstnameLastname.jpg naming convention using whatever name you want to be credited with. Send your work to me by next Tuesday morning, and I'll pick three top winners and show off the rest of the best in our Gallery of Champions. Get to it!

Introducing the Gizmodo DIY Apple Product Mockup Kit

Adam Frucci — Fri, 30 May 2008 13:40:00 EDT

People love mockups of products, especially Apple products, and especially real-looking Apple products that they can delude themselves into believing are real. Who are we to argue with such desires? In order to help you all make the best, most realistic Apple fakes possible, we had our super-talented Artistic Intern Logan Lape make a DIY Apple Product Mockup Kit. Essentially, it's a Photoshop file full of layers of objects that you can use to make your very own BS Apple product. And that's just what we want you to do.

Simply download the kit here, open it up in Photoshop, and let your imagination go wild. As you can see, tt's pretty easy to make a nice looking fake iPhone 2 mockup with the kit. But don't feel like you need to stick to iPhones; go nuts! Make any product you can come up with using the kit, and send us your best results to contests@gizmodo.com with the subject "DIY Apple Mockup." I'll post the best entries here next Tuesday. Get crackin'!
