Shock news: Adobe has a sense of humour
The design software giant pranks unsuspecting commuters, Photoshopping them into a live bus stop ad in Sweden.
Adobe clearly knows how to have a good laugh. To promote its recent Creative Day, the design software company set up this delightful prank at a Swedish bus shelter.
Hiding in a van across the road, a crack Adobe team secretly took photos of members of the public before handing them to Photoshop artist Erik Johansson to work his magic - then the resulting pictures appeared on a special ad panel in the bus shelter.
The images placed complete strangers sharing a kiss on a wedding cake, in movie-style posters and more. The public saw the funny side, and we got to learn that Adobe has a sense of humour. Who knew?
