Dang it!!! I can't stop laughing... Excellent entry! Stitchery is awesome! Wow!
This is about the most brilliant entry I've seen in a long time.
great idea, very well executed. i love the color of the shoes and the insets, both the apple and the screen. great job
Seems like too much emphasis is placed on the text. I would have preferred more work on the shoe; I know that you went for an advertising look, but it detracts from the image's focus; the shoes.

Nope.. I didn't play with Curves.
I don't think I could make a pair of shoes without some help.
Ron Artest will now hunt you down for disrespecting him like this. Then he'll swipe your idea and sell it to Apple.
That is f***ing hilarious!! I would give it a ten even the image sucked because it's such a good idea, but the image does not suck. Great job!!
I'd like to see originals, this is neat. Perhaps the color scheme is too similar to the xbox color scheme? Really nice work in the i/o ports, killer touch

It's rendered so it comes in any flavour you like. Want a purple coffin?

I don't want to offend anyone, but you asked for it: http://www.patrikland.com/TEMP/coffin_mashby.jpg
Not bad but there are lots of conflicting lighting sources from all the various elements that comprise the iBot. The shadow doesn't really seem to help anchor the robot to anything either, but at least you tried. I think a subtle gradient background would help make this more visually appealing by providing some needed contrast and assist in preventing that floating problem. Also the text and logos are backwards on the right side and arms... an easy detail overlooked.
Nice one, but the Apple pieces could use just a little blur and are a bit too bright in my humble opinion.
not bad! the wire on our right side is a bit crooked in bits, but overall very clever. Did you try a version without the smiley on the apple logo? Minor quibble
Dang! I sure wish I'd had one of these for my kids when they were little! LOL Great concept! I agree with V1nc3nt about the brightness, though. It could have been shaded a tad with light bluish grey and had a slight leftward angling, blurred only a little bit. Otherwise, a wonderfully brilliant job and a great concept!! Bravo!!
That's what i was going to write before i clicked on 'View comments' Mashby But it's nice idea and chop
Very clever- Top mark so far, even though the shadows from the earbuds leave much to be desired in terms of accuracy; for instance, at present they seem to have a uniform tone and intensity, even though the earbuds arent flush with the wall.
This has been done to death, in my opinion; but from a qualioty standpoint it isnt bad, but it could have been pushed further in my opinion; all youve done is made an embossed apple logo/model name. ( and a hue change? on the blue bits?) What youve done is at least clean, which is admirable.
Oops, you forgot a little masking at the left top of the engine
This image lacks depth, however, it displays a great amount of potential. Shadows cast from the case onto the image would have partially solved the depth issue, but 60% of the problem comes from the conflicting slope of the engine in contrast to the g5's casing.

#$%*!! These engines are not as reliable as they used to be...
The text is totally unnecessary in my opinion; And even if an advertisement feel was needed, the font and layout of the text is not of advertising quality. Also, try to use sources of similar quality; the added elements are very crisp, while the bong is very washed out, and heavily artifact-ed.

This contest is fueled by the following news: Steve Jobs, the chief executive officer of Apple Computer, Inc., has introduced a cut rate computer onto the market that is the size of a paperback. The product was introduced on Tuesday. In addition, a tiny iPod that retails starting at $99 but that holds far fewer songs that the hard drive music players also hit the market. The new products are designed to make headway against what had been the more affordable PC market and the lower cost competitors to Apple's iPod. The Mac mini computers actually will go on sale on January 22nd. This represents Apple's first venture into the budget or discount desktop PC market.
Steve Job was awarded with the National Medal of USA in the field of technology by President Ronald Reagan in 1984 together with Steve Wozniak (becoming one of the first to have received this award) and in 1987 – the Jefferson Award for rendering public service in the category "Greatest Public Service by an individual of 35 years or under". On November 27, 2007, Fortune named Steve Jobs as the most influential person in business. On December 5, 2007, the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife Maria Shriver inducted Steve Jobs into California's Hall of Fame, situated in the Museum of California.
In August 2009, Steve Jobs was selected as the most esteemed entrepreneur among teenagers during a survey by Junior Achievement. On November 5, 2009, Fortune named Jobs as CEO of the decade. In November 2009, Steve Jobs occupied 57th spot in the list of "The World's Most Powerful People" by Forbes. In December 2010, the Financial Times named Jobs as person of year.
In popular culture:
Due to his young age, big stature and charisma, Steve Jobs became a symbol of his company and field after founding Apple. Jobs figured in three films on the history of personal computers:
• "Triumph of the Nerds" – a three series documentary film in 1996 for PBS about the eminence of the home computer / personal computer;
• "Nerds 2.0.1" – a 1998 three series documentary film for PBS (sequel to "Triumph of the Nerds") about the chronology of the development of the Internet;
• "Pirates of Silicon Valley" – a docudrama, made in 1999, in which the growth of Apple and Microsoft is narrated. Noah Wyle portrayed the character of Steve Jobs.
After resigning from the post of CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs was characterized as the Thomas Edison of his time.
