about Ctrl + Z
This is interesting: the original source image for Ctrl + Z was http://img.engadget.com/common/images/3060000000047815.JPG?0.7400176466811262

That's obviously from Engadget (so not quite the original).

I'm not sure what the point of bringing this up...unless you plan to find all of the images on line that people have used for either inspiration for their works or have traced to create a new original design...



I dunno...i'm just not sure I understand your point...

I don't see why this is a problem for this design. The reason it is so successful as a design is because it's so immediately recognizable as a photo. It's more visceral and real, adding to the simple effect of the submission. Frankly, I can't imagine it working another way. Now I would agree that if, like Manos, the designer photographed the source image I would have more respect for the design. BUT, it's a car crash, how many opportunities are there to photograph that?

Wow, it's been a while since I checked this, but I think I should address these comments.



The only reason I noted this was because I actually thought it was cool. I stumbled on the image completely accidentally and I thought, "Wait, I've seen this before..." I thought it would be interesting to share. I was not aware that a thread had already been started about it, nor was I trying to devalue the design. I'm sorry if you interpreted it as such.
