The "Inverse Herbie"
February 21, 2007This is probably the most unusual Herbie interpretation that I've come across the Internet!
At first glance, it looks like someone's attempt to "reverse" Herbie. It's painted black instead of white. It has green, black and yellow stripes instead of red, white and blue. And the number 53 is "flipped"
But things aren't as simple at first glance! The beauty of this interpretation goes beyond skin deep and you need a computer with photoediting software to realize the genius of this concept. For those old-schoolers who refuse to go digital and who still use film, this would probably surprise you too.
Take the above picture and edit with software like Photoshop.
Go to "Image" in the Menu Bar, then select "Rotate Canvas". Select "Flip the Image Horizontally".
By this time, the number 53 should be in the "correct" position. But wait!, there's MORE!
Select "Image" again from the Menu bar, then go to "Adjustments", then select "Invert".
Surpise! Surprise! Here's Herbie!! Cool Huh?
