Many Photoshop mistakes make for an entertaining brochure.

1. Check out this poor lady’s oversized left paw from a Sears brochure. (Many photos here presented by photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com – check it out, it’s too funny!)

 

 

2. Talk about “The Ghost Whisperer”! Jennifer Love Hewitt has nothing on this brochure photo featuring a ghost hand! Many funny brochures include a floating or forgotten body part:

 

3. Or, body parts just seem unnatural. Does this guy have a great manicure or what? And this double- or tripled-jointed woman seems right up his alley!
 

 

4. Deep Springs College, an all male college, sent recruitment brochures to women. The college bought a mailing list that included SAT criteria among their other recruiting criteria. The one criterion they forgot to check? The “male” box!

 

5. A urologist’s office is a great source of funny brochures, especially when the brochures seem 20 years older than the urologist himself! Check out this oldie, but goodie: the guy looks a little too happy and pleased by his self-exam! A good reason to have other’s opinions when it comes to your brochure’s photo selection!

 

 

6. How ’bout a scratch-n-sniff brochure that smells like poo? That’s exactly what officials in Michigan mailed out to prospective residents that were thinking of moving to Ottawa County. “It’s an attention grabber,” said Mark Knudsen, director of the county’s planning and grants department. “The whole purpose is that people should not move into a rural area unless they’re willing to accept and embrace the practices that happen on a farming operation.”

7. Double check phone numbers! Honda learned this the hard way by printing an 800 number instead of an 888 number on a brochure sent to 1.2 million US owners (they’ve also misprinted another number in an Acura owner’s manual). Instead of reaching customer service, customers who called reached a phone sex line!
