Photo manipulation is an ever evolving collaboration between photography and graphic design.

Combining certain elements to create a unique image  - one that can convince even the most experienced set of eyes – requires a very creative set of skills.  Here are some great examples:

The cover of this week’s New Yorker was created using an iPhone app, Brushes, by artist Jorge Colombo.  Is there anything the iPhone can’t do?

lights on is an audio visual performance created for the Ars Electronica museum in Linz, Austria, which has a facade that contains 1085 LED controllable windows. The windows’ colors are changed in realtime with music that’s broadcasted on speakers surrounding the building.

This is the actual design on this shower curtain, outta the box.  Sick, huh?  Can you imagine crawling out of bed every morning and stumbling into the bathroom to be faced with this?  Somebody needs to see the shrink!

Popp uses controlled drips of water to create a waterfall of words and
images. A horizontal module with computer-controlled valves hung from
the ceiling releases droplets at precise times to form predetermined
shapes. The result is a word of message that seems to magically rain
down from the ceiling and then disappear upon impact with the floor.
Popp describes bit.fall as a “metaphor for the incessant flood of information we are exposed to.”
