Contest Directions: Pac-Man, the most popular video game of all times, is now released on
the Xbox 360. So even though this hungry little fella has just
celebrated his 26th anniversary (first release in 1980), we still
think of Pac-Man when we think of video games. I don't know how many
hours I played this game, but it was A LOT...
Why do we love this game? First it's real simple, and ANYONE,
literally anyone can play it. I have read that somebody trained a
monkey to play Pac-Man (no kidding). Second, it represents the ideal
life for guys, so to speak, -- eating as much as you like and not
getting fat, "scoring", and "popping cherries", and getting away from
ghosts... and if you screw up, you always have an extra life left.
Nice. Real nice. There's a natural Pac-Man living in every one of us.
Think about it next time you yawn, and look in the mirror.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop one of the following:
1) Pac-Man character(s) appearing in famous paintings, advertisements
or products
2) Pac-Man character(s) appearing in the things they do not
belong. E.g. Pac-Man-shaped tomato
3) Animals or people with Pac-Man like heads
4) "Pac-Man characters in real life" - take the game out of the
screen and put them in real-life photos (eating real life things,
chasing real life people and animals).
Make an effort to 3-Dimensionalize your Pac-Men. Simple 5 minute
copy-paste flat Pac-Men will be disqualified.
P.S. Do you know how Pac-Man came into this world, btw? In 1979, the
future game's designer, Toru Iwatani was having dinner with his
friends at one of the Tokyo pizzerias. When he saw the pizza after a
slice had been removed, he was inspired by the shape, and came up
with the idea of so shaped hungry little fella eating things. 15
months later Namco released Pac-Man.
