“Can you survive for 24 hours without your computer? The idea behind Shutdown Day is to find out how many people can go without a computer for one whole day, and what will happen if we all participate.”

Whoever wrote that must think our computers are physically becoming a part of us. That’s an interesting theory and inspired me to design a Shutdown Day poster.

This is what I started with:

Before Photoshop

I decided to replace the belly button with a belly power button, remove the tattoo and colorize the image.
Here’s the result:

Shutdown Day Poster

I have one question, though. How would you turn yourself on?

Anyway, I’m so participating! I promise I’ll shutdown my computer on 03 May 2008. You should, too.

Adiós,
Buikhu

    Wow! Amazing retouching on the photos. I have on occasion gone an entire day without going online. Not easy. I maintain quite a few blogs, so things can kind of pile up in a day.
    Look forward to visiting you again.

    Well, 24 hours without a computer isn’t too bad but when TV and cell phones aren’t allowed either, we’re entering the twilight zone.
