This is going to be a stupid question (but I'd really like to know!)<p>How do these Kickstarter projects make such quality "model" photos showcasing their project (e.g. the guy dancing)? Are these just skillfully customized stock photos? If not, has anyone had success with outsourcing/hiring someone to make these (such as for an iPhone app)? I'd love to spruce up my screenshots...

You should make an app that makes the sound warble like the tape models did when there is lots of motion (via accelerometer).<p>Gosh I am too old as I remember the real sony one that came out that was just barely bigger than the size of cassette tape, it was state of the art back then.<p><a href="http://www.sony.net/Fun/design/history/product/1980/wm-20.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.sony.net/Fun/design/history/product/1980/wm-20.ht...</a><p>look at the engineering from <i>30 years ago</i> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFnrsDmIsxo" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFnrsDmIsxo</a>

You're going to take my super functional iPhone touch screen, put it behind a bulky plastic casing, and only allow me to interact with my iPhone through 4 or 5 random buttons while I play music on shuffle or from premade playlists?<p>Talk about "Single Function."

Funny how the last in-use picture is someone using it whilst driving and wearing headphones.

One of the model photos shows the driver listening to an iphone/walkman in the car with headphones on whilst driving. And she's holding it in her hand. Somehow I don't think that's a typical use case.

This looks like fun and many "brings memories back" products are successful.
