iPod Giveaway #7: Design a Steve Jobs Movie Poster
Original photo by Norbert Ivanek.Ok, so it’s the day after Christmas and you didn’t get that iPod you wanted. Now’s your opportunity to take matters into your own hands and win one.
The theme of the final Mike Industries iPod Creativity Competition of 2005 is to design a movie poster featuring Steve Jobs. Like all competitions before it, the rules here are loose. Just feature the man we all know and love in a cinematic role, keep your image exactly 418 pixels wide, and insert your entry inline in the comments of this post. Please also give photo credit when appropriate.
There’s a decent chance The Steve will actually see this blog entry so please keep it clean and respectful. Anything overtly offensive will be removed.
This competition will remain open for exactly two weeks and will end at midnight, Sunday, January 8th. The winner will receive a 1GB iPod Shuffle from me, and so will Mike B., the genius who suggested this particular contest.
Remember to keep your images exactly 418 pixels wide (any height is fine) and under about 50k or so in file size. Insert your image into the comments below using code like so:
<img src="http://yoururl.jpg" />
Cool.
Here’s my entry.
Merry Christmas everybody!
#1 –
Happy Holidays, everyone!
#2
anything with Heather Graham has GOT to win!
Can’t compete with Kill Bill, though. If there ever was a movie for Steve Jobs to star…
Mine:
Can I enter?
Go ahead Bill – lets see what you got!
Look out your window – bet you can’t beat them apples.
Multiple entries from one person == disqualification?
Great entries so far!
Lanny: Multiple entries are ok. I just updated the post.
Yes, some excellent entries. Like the “iPod Father” so far.
Copyright Touchstone Pictures for the original movie.
Merry Christmas everybody!
Steve Jobs as Harry Podder in “Harry Podder and the Half-Apple Prince”.
Steve Jobs in “PodFellas” – Three Decades of Life in the Apple
Mike, will the “multiple-entries” be capped? This could end up getting a bit out-of-hand. Just a thought. Or, you could leave it open and see just how creative your friends and peers are.
iROCK
In theaters January 9th.
Man, when you lock in just on the eyes, nose and mouth, this Jobs photo looks like George Costanza =)
Well, I don’t have “mad skillz” but I tried.
“Love is a killer app.” If it was slogan contest, that should win hands down.
I was looking through the top 100 worst movies on IMDB and came across You Got Served. And wonder of wonders…
Anyway, I have to do some more skin tone matching, levels, adjustments, blah blah, but I figured I’d post this as a work in progress of sorts. Gates looks great, though Woz doesn’t match his hands, and Steve’s light is all wrong. Bonus points to whoever knows who the guy on the far right is, though.
Also, I’m trying to think of a way to interpret this contest in a way that means more than a 418x[…] JPEG. Flash? MPEG? Though “a movie poster” is pretty hard to bend the rules with. Ah well.
The catch phrase is so perfect, there’s no need to change it ;)
^ Bwaaaahahahaaaa.
que ‘Steampod Mickey’ entry.
Controversy … What Controversy?
There’s a decent chance The Steve will actually see this blog entry so please keep it clean and respectful. Anything overtly offensive will be removed.
Hey, I’m not the one who made the Brokeback Mountain spoof. lol
Quantity not quality I’m afraid. Still need some serious touching up.
This has been really fun! Thanks, Mike!
Oh man, the Apple Dumpling Gang? How can I compete with that? Well, I’ll keep the Disney theme going I guess:
How come there’s only been one original movie idea? Everything is just pasting Job’s head on another poster and placing Bill Gates somewhere in there. Good idea’s but they’re still only half of your idea put together with an existing one..
Daniel -> I don’t get it, they all look like knock-offs to me. I think that’s part of the humor. Sure, some original ideas would be nice, but since so-far they’ve all be knock-offs, why cause a fuss? Perhaps Mike will pick the original (having a hard time picking the original from the jpg’s above – might you point it out?). Maybe someone will hit us with such an original idea that the rest of the knock-offs will pale in comparison. For now, however, I think the jpg’s posted are funny as all get-out.
I almost think the spoofs are the point of this contest. Or, certainly, seems like the best way to go. You could absolutely create an original movie idea (a feat in itself) starring Steve Jobs, but then it’s just a movie starring someone who probably shouldn’t be in a movie, Steve not being an actor and all. Or a documentary…
Anyway, not to be a downer or anything. I said it in my post above, that people who think outside the box are the ones who win, and I’d bet that the winner of this contest is someone who creates something other than a photoshopped movie poster, though it’s fun just to see who’s got skills and who’s got original ideas (even if they are photoshopping something, there’s still a great deal of creativity in these). An original movie certainly would be another way to go, and one I didn’t think of.
Version 1
Just one of those films I trually think they should produce. Yes, that’s Jobs in the bottom right :)
I would say that yes, a bad Photoshop paste-up job without a whole lot of thought probably won’t win this. If your execution is awesome, it can forgive some deficiency in concept (and vice versa), but you gotta do something well.
Some of these are really great so far though.
Mike – what if we wanted to make a QuickTime trailer for a Jobs movie? Any chance of amending the rules to allow that?
that’s a good one right there … Enemy of Bill Gates … nice work.
It’s tough to make someone “actually” look like Sasquatch.
“It’s tough to make someone “actually” look like Sasquatch.”
You’ve obviously never met my ex-wife.
Interesting contest!
oh, burn!
Haha, some brilliant ones, and some amazing ones. Great job guys!
This is fun! So far my favorites are “Enemy of Bill Gates”, “Lord of the iPods”, “Indiana Jobs”, and “The Podfather”. Good stuff. Here’s mine:
Dang, Sean Liew has serious skills.
By the way, they are all great….didn’t want to leave anyone out. =)
By the way, some really great stuff is showing up :) Enemy of Bill Gates has fantastic color matching and I’m loving the crosshair on the ipod silhouette.
On mine make sure to try and find the obligatory Gates picture!
On mine make sure to try and find the obligatory Gates picture!
Oh god… not that picture!!! Anything but that!
Kevin: is it just me or are there thirteen [things] that Jobs is holding? Last time I checked, a dozen was twelve.. But umm, is Gates the little guy 4 up from the bottom?
Chris: Yes, really. That picture.
Dragon: The movie poster apparently had pictures of the 12 children and the mother (13).. good catch! Yes, he’s 4th from the top.
Oh, and in retrospect, 12 apples, 1 Gates.
I have to agree with Kevin, Enemy of Bill Gates is great.. Sean Liew’s other submission “i, Pod” was nicely done as well.. Hard to compete with that quality.
Have to agree. Some amazing talent show off over here. Some are of high quality, few rib tickling entries while some are unique in approach.
Great work..simply great.
Jane
I just wanted to compliment everyone on their jobs well done in this festive contest. May the best Photoshop job win.
While I obviously like my own entry(iMile) for the underlying underdog theme, Sean’s i,Pod and Enemy of the Gates entries are definitely my two favorites from among the competition. Very nicely done.
Love the I,Pod one, great idea and great skills. Enemy of Bill Gates is nicely done, and the crosshair on the iPod-silhouette is a cool detail. Steve Of The Dead is very funny as well. I actually feel that way sometimes. Lots of iPod-Zombies in the street and on the subway.
Btw. Happy New Year, everyone!
Wow! You guys are right on! Sean’s entries are cool!
Especially Enemy Of Bill Gates! The poster is GREAT, the meaning is definately there (not like some).
If he does not win,…. watch where you park you car at night!
I thought i participating, but after looking at Sean’s….. nah,… he can have the first prize!
Wow, so many great entries .. I’m with Andrew: Sean, great job on your entries – although I like a few that are not his as well (the Incredible’s poster would have been really good if all the pictures had been cartoon/caricatured ;-P
Too many good ones to consider trying to find time to make an entry for this contest.
Wow, there is some very cool posters here. Fabolous work people!
Here is mine…
This isn’t a real entry really, just thought it was really creepy. Inspired by the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory poster.
Is the rule that photo entries have to be 418 x 418 no longer in existance? In previous contests, entries not conforming to those dimensions would be eliminated.
(Editor’s Note: 418 wide and a reasonable file size is all that is necessary for this contest)
I believe it just specifies 418 pixels in width.
Jared, it specifically states: “keep your images exactly 418 pixels wide (any height is fine)”.
Here’s mine.
Just had some fun to do it :-)
Arnaud’s Finding iPod entry made me laugh. That’s some photoshop skills.
Damn, it even says it in two places! Sorry guys, I’m an idiot. :)
Great and really funny entries so far guys and thanks for the kind comments. Here’s another one, an “original” feature film. Can’t remember when’s the last time I had this much fun with Photoshop :) Happy New Year!
Greetings from Sweden again..
someone needs to do a “Freaky Friday” spoof
here’s my email if people want to email their responses or if i WIN lol. saturn89@gmail.com
does anyone know how to resize an image to under 50k and make it exactly 418 pixels wide? i’m confused because my image got deleted. HELP!
So… I’m not the only one who has noticed that a young Steven Seagal looks somewhat like Steve Jobs on steroids.
A high resolution version is also available.
For what it’s worth.
If Kill Bill or the iLife Aquatic doesn’t get it, there’s just no justice in the world…
Hi guys… what do you think of this?
If only I had the skills… …can someone make one with the movie “catch me if you can” with jobs as tom hanks :p
“Catch me if you can”, shouldn’t that one star Bill Gates and the head of DOJ? :)
“mr and mrs. jobs should win.” that one’s really good and it’s funny lol. but who is the woman?
Man, these are all (pretty much) really great! I’ve had a great time doing my own creations as well as seeing everyone else’s ideas.
Nice job to everybody. This was/is fun!

My favorites (no special order): Byte Me, 21 Grams, Being Steve Jobs, American History OS X, Them Apples, iPod (iRobot spoof), iPod (iPod Invisa spoof), and Dirty Steve is really well done.
Taking the LoTR theme another step (forward/backward/to the side), how about Return of the King, in reference to his return as CEO?

Contest & Arnaud Muller’s “Finding iPod” featured in the The Guardian. Pretty cool.
Jane
Just lookin at the TrackBack sites and was surprised to find one my my designs displayed. Made me happy.
I think everyone here has done a great Jobs.. I mean job. I like my own entries (obviously) and I deffinately think there is some great work goin on (i,pod, Dirty Steve, etc).
I have to agree with Sean Liew in that this is the most fun I have had with PS in a long time! Awesome work everyone!
So many awesome ones, people! I pity the soul who has to decide on the winner — and we’re STILL a week out from that decision.
Dude, Where’s My Pod, Steve of The Dead, iLife Aquatic, i,Pod and many others are excellent. But, to me so far the most insightful and yet “out there” one is Being Steve Jobs. It doesn’t get much better than that one… or, WILL IT??
here’s mine I dont expect to win with this but I figured I would make one for fun. Hopefully you guys find it funny.
and make sure you search for iDiaper in eBay (its pretty funny)
“Byte me” is great, really had a good laugh at it!
i think now it’s ok ;)
They come from outer space. They have only one mission. To take over planet earth. The Pod People are controlled by white wires attached to their ears and appear to hear commands from an alien podcast. They’re all around you. They’re your neighbors, your librarian, and if your not scared yet, your next! The Pod People will not give up until everyone on earth is one of them. Starring Steve Jobs, “Invasion of the Pod People” is the movie of the year.
Ebert and Roeper gives “Invasion of the Pod People” 4.5 stars.

I made a flash intro for the movie.
the look is some kind of cheap, but hey thats life~
My favourites are “Finding iPod”, “Steve of the Dead”, “Steve Jobs and the iPod Factory”, and most of all: “Enemy of Bill Gates”. Regardles of my favourite ones, all of these posters are very well done. Good job.
yeeepeeee
Too many good ones to list… What an amusing competition.
Waiting in anticipation to see who wins it!
The glasses in the passion of the christ are well integrated. The biblical reference is clever. And jesus looks remarkebly like Jobs. Woah.
I could be wrong, but I believe that when he said that multiple entries were okay, he meant multiple different entries.
All of these are pretty good but clearly the best one is obviously iTrip.
Just some more sites that are linking to this contest. See if other people like your poster:
1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9
Wow, mac and me. I haven’t even seen a reference to that movie in forever. I think my parents taped it off HBO way back in the day. iTrip is awesome, the forehead blending is amazing. Jobs Park is cool, and Passion of the Christ (should it be “iPod of the Christ”? or “Passion of the Jobs”?) is kinda creepy…
Also, Delivernce has some nice touches.
Okay folks… here’s my second contribution.
I had big expectations with this idea, but I soon realized my skills aren’t good enough. Still… here you go.

All I can say is, “SHUT THE F#@K UP, DONNY!”

Great concept for the contest! Some of these are excellent.
My vote for winner at this point: ITRIP
I’m all for the Big Woznowski at this point.
I just loved Kill Bill and Enemy of Bill Gates. Others are also good.
What can I say, I’m a sucker for classics. Citizen Jobs and Steve Jobs (Amadeus) are great. The Big Woznowski and iToy Story are good too. This is starting to remind me a bit of Photoshop Phridays on Something Awful.
This is my least favorite that I’ve done so far, but it’s not terrible.
THOSE ARE PAINFUL!!!
STOP WITH TEH CRAP ART ALREADY!!11!!!
I agree. I’m sorry for the Dylan one, it was a decent idea but not an excessively clever title to say the least. Take a look at The Big Woznowski and the Passion of the Christ for some of my better work.
ok ok i forgot the filesize thing~
Hi there! i Just saw this movie! i thought it would be funny to put king kong wantin gto be steve job’s friend and climbing to the top on the empire state building to listen to his itunes in peace.

Yep. Hehe.
Some really amazing posters, my favorites are I,Pod | Finding iPod | Enemy of Bill Gates. Hopefully there will be some original posters also. Good work all!

Well, from all the ones I’ve seen – Pirates of the Valley gets first, Byte Me comes second for it’s pure quality in itself, Finding Ipod (Nemo) comes in third for it’s pure creativity and success in pulling it off. Many of these are just Photoshop chop jobs and I don’t believe that’s what this contest is about. Good job anyway everybody, and may the best one win!
all the contest states is:
it doesn’t talk about being an original idea or even how the contest will be judged (though we assume it will be on some sort of quality + creativity scale) … heck, this thing is the Mike D. and Mike B. show, so it really looks like they’re the ones calling the shots, and determining how the winner will be “chosen.” as much as i’d like to win, i’ve just had a great time doing my own and checking out what everyone else has come up with.
on a side note, I see many, many of these images that have been nicely done and very funny as the case may be.
nice job everybody … even if they are Photoshop chop (steve) jobs! =)
It didn’t turn out as well as I wanted it to. But It looks OK I guess. But I didn’t notice till I was putting Steve’s photo on the poster when I saw that the poster says “Size Matters”, so I think it works good for the Ipod nano so I stuck that on there.

my favs are i,pod / the enemy of bill gates / pirates of silicon valley.
you did a nice job(s), guys!!!
Noel Godin (bottom center) is the guy who lead the gang who threw pies at Bill.

Here is my image:
I want to create a movie-spoof poster for a guy at work.
How do you manage to recreate the actual type-faces used in various posters – can you give me some hints, or a web-link. I have googled and I ended up here! Thanks!
For some movie type faces, there are fonts out there that are created based on the original. just look for “name of the movie + font + download”
if you cant find a font this way you just have to search for a similar font, change an existing font or just delete anything written so nobody will recognize that you didnt use the right font ;)
btw thanks for the lisa jobs thing macaholic ;)
Themed fonts can be found here:
typenow.net
Pretty self-explanatory eh?
I can’t believe this one hasn’t been done yet…
My stab… must say the tag line isn’t the best, but there you go.
(whoops! made the image too big before, RTFM i know! sorry!)
This is my entry. Some great entries in this fun competition. Well done to all!
So, here’s mine…
Here’s mine.
http://www.promos-lww.com/ace.html
So, you’re wondering where those scratches on your iPod Nano really come from? ;)
I finally figured it out. here’s mine:
You all did some awesome posters so far.. I wanted to abandon this one and do a better poster but have been way to busy. So here is my poster. (Which someone already attempted, btw.)
Technically, if you’re gunna put Steve Jobs as WIlly WOnka, then you should be using the old movie’s posters. The new one was charlie and the chocolate factory, so “Steve and the iPod Factory” would technically put STeve as the child. Just a thought
I used more than a few stock photos from http://www.sxc.hu ..
Hope you like it :)
that one is just…awesome. it would be a ton better if not for teh blurriness
Thanks :)
I had to blur so that apple can come to life.. see.
I agree with Mike, the blur makes it a ton better!
Here is my last and only original entry. I appologize to Steve lovers who find this offensive. It is presented entirely in jest.

If anyone is interested, I posted a Flickr set of my posters next to the originals. I had ambitions about doing that for all of the posters represented but then quickly realized there were almost 200…Sooo, maybe the rest of you could do the same with your pics. It would be kinda cool to see the details everyone has come up with.
Nice work people!
There we go
I got the image from http://www.didis-life.de via google images page 9 on “steve jobs”
Great idea for a contest!

well it seems the competition is tight, check mine soon, straight out from zimbabwe. cheers every one

hi there !
here is my small contribution :
For what it’s worth yet again.
Among all the photo-chops (including mine) I think Jack’s “The Man Can’t Dance” is really special. Clean mac-ish looks, nice typography and a funny tag line (“When thinking different goes too far…”). Got a good laugh out of that. :)
BEETLEJOBS! BEETLEJOBS! BEETLEJOBS!
My third and final entry. Steve would be the only one to get away without a pic of himself & a title :)
My contribution:
Well I hope that this post sticks.
I had so much fun doing my first poster the other day that I had to do this one last night. It’s just so obvious and noboday has done it.
This one is dedicated to Jen at Switch Designlab here in Toronto

Check your image size. I think my posts may have been taken off because of this. I sized my image for 418 px wide before saving it but when I took the image back into PS it said that it was 419. I recropped it and now everything is fine.

without big words:
is it fair to assume this ends midnight pacific time?
hahahaha. iTanic and podzilla vs p-sea monster are my favorite
Ok, a lot smaller now.
I’m amazed nobody’s done ‘Pirates of Cupertino’ yet…
James AkaXakA, dude, someone did an awesome “Pirates of Silicon Valley”
which is not only well done (love the Windows logo on the zombie pirates! :D ), but is an xcellent refernce to the actual TV movie done several years ago, called “Pirates of Silicon Valley”:
Macaholic, dude, “Pirates of Silicon Valley” is not “Pirates of Cupertino”. I was thinking of the 2nd teaser poster with the skeleton…so many possibilities.
Whatever. It’s been done.
I just came across this website yesterday and I thought this contest was a great idea. It seems someone beat me to the ‘Podzilla’ idea though!
I must admit, I had fun putting this together, and I hope Steve Jobs gets a chance to see all of these posters—I’m sure he’d get a kick out of them.
The perfect Adam and Eve poster children.

@Sandra: Too expensive. Can you imagine Apple’s profit margin applied to a 60 day DAY?? :D I could build that day out of a pot of coffee and gram of cocaine for WAY less! Apple’s are too expnesive ;)
re-entry mistake. after the originals were deleted, my browswer had truncated entries and I thought this entry had also be deleted. my apologies for a second posting. Safari has been doing some weird things lately, unable to access some sites that Mozilla has no trouble accessing.
Wow these are fantastic! Great “Jobs” everyone!
Sandra Mause – Opps, lol, I meant seconds. lol
My contribution… :-)
Not much, but fun to make.
Lars – it’s fun to see too! Love the red eyes.
Sorry about the other posts, and thanks Mike!
Can’t wait to see who wins. Good luck everyone. BTW, when will the winner be announced?
“What About Bill?” and “Catch Me if You Can” make me chuckle each time I scroll through all these.
Someone (OK, a couple of someones) referred to the posters as “Knock-offs”. It’s called parody, gentlemen; a long and time honored form of satire.
[RANT]
WHAT??! Some people are dissing the parodies?? Morons! They’re what put the “fun” in funny! It’s the relationship of the meaning or identity of the original, spun out in a humorous way to relate to the subject matter: Steve Jobs. Cripes I don’t believe some people don’t “get” such a pervasive comedic device.
i.e.: My favourite parodies are What About Bill, signifying the fact that Bill and Steve behave civilly in public, yet Steve probably hates Bill. Get it? HA-HA!
Or, “Steve of The Dead”, because of the massive popularity of the iPod has reduced mass commuters to zombies, oblivious to the outside world. Get it? HA-HA!
Frankly, almost every “original” movie title entry here has sucked — HARD. Get a clue, folks!
[/RANT]
Exactly! Parody is a high form of comedy. Of course, it can be badly done, but there’s some brilliance here!
