Remember how a couple years ago Apple launched a new ad campaign for the iPod that was bold, attention getting and had a great graphic element?

Well I thought it would be fun to make our own. What does it take to do this you might wonder? Well first you need to take a photo. Some elements you may want to remember for this photo is to keep the background uncomplicated and simple. Show movement or action. Get creative. Do an image search for iPod silhouettes on google, yahoo or flickr to get some examples or ideas.

Once you have an image you like follow the instructions on this tutorial:

He goes rather fast, so just pause and rewind when you need to. And remember you don't have to incorporate all the elements he did, but if you want to go right ahead.

If you have any questions please feel free to post them or email me. I'm here to help.

You have from*Friday Mar. 4th*to*Thursday Mar. 18th*to shoot your photos for this theme. Below are some examples to get the creative juices flowing. Good luck and I look forward to seeing everyones photos!

This was heaps of fun to do and I know my DD is going to love it. Just a simple photo taken on automatic; but in making these few changes it looks so fun. Looking forward to trying some more.

I wanted to leave a comment in the gallery, but that option must be turned off.

This photo ROCKS! I love the bright pink, I love the action, I love the paint splatters and brushes behind her. Brilliant!

So, I did the challenge, but I ended up with a layout for a challenge from another site.. using their products, so I won't post it here. But I just wanted to say thanks - because it was a layout-in-progress for about a month because I just couldn't find the "perfect" photo for the page. Your silhouette idea fit it perfectly.

Then, I came here and saw that awesome cartwheel silhouette by kirsty2two, and got even more inspired. I did one of my little niece showing off her newly learned front round-off.

Thanks for all the inspiration! (and they are posted on my blog if you're intrested...)
