First Drafts of Famous Inventions/ Cracked Photoplasty Contest

 

I sometimes enter the Cracked.com photoplasty contests.  I do this to flex my creative muscles and practice my photoshop skills.  You can check out my entry along with the other finalists here.

Travel, Virgin America Style

 Kubrick-esque mood lighting

A recent impromptu trip to San Francisco gave me the opportunity to check out the highly touted Virgin America planes for the first time.  I know I am a bit late to the game on this, but hey, I can't help it if I like racking up my Southwest miles.
The Good
Style-wise I have to give them props. The planes are slickly lit with purple hover lighting, that give it a 2001: Space Odyssey feel. The seatback pockets are smartly divided in two, with a red plastic bin for corporate/safety info and a separate mesh net for your personals. No more Blackberry lost between the inflight mag and airsickness bag (yeah, function over form).
