A World Without Photoshop
We at Chop Shop are also known as The Chopping Block. So yes, we are the same people who made the recently viral video “World Without Photoshop” where we imagine what being a designer might look like today if Photoshop had never come to exist. There are some great sight gags including an absurd 3-D “Lorem” dummy type model, a copyPhone, copyBooks, an all powerful “Layers Stack” room and the mysterious “Photo Box” that somehow develops camera images in the same way vintage photo booths at the beach do.
Keep your eyes open for fleeting visual references too… like the iconic Nirvana “Nevermind” cover art as it might have appeared in the sideways world of no Photoshop or the bizarro-world version of the Wired “Evil-Genius” issue. See the Chopping Block Flickr stream for more stills.
While we are on the topic, don’t forget what the world might look like without Photoshop Filter Heroes.

Custom Celebrity Apes Tee for MailChimp
Ben at MailChimp has been a great customer for Chop Shop over the years and we insist that MailChimp is the best email newsletter service out there. So when we decided last spring that the next pop-icon tee would focus on famous simians… we knew we had to let Ben know. He wanted Freddie (their logo/mascot) to be in the design somehow, but we were hesitant to include a corporate entity in a design that is intended to be about pop-culture icons. So we ditched Blip and dropped Freddie in for a special run exclusively printed for MailChimp with custom label included.
See their recent blog post about their plans for weVolve the MailChimp edition.
