Modern Gadgets Reimagined With Some Serious Retro Style

Worth1000 is a creative photoshop competition site. Aspiring Photoshoppers are given 48 hours to create a photoshopped masterpiece for each contest. These images were taken from their Vintage Products 6 contest, which encouraged entrants to recast today's products in a vintage light. My fave from the 53 entrants is the iPod Delux. I think it would be the perfect commemorative release for Apple's 30th Birthday (celebrating Steve Job's birth in 1955, perhaps?)

I'm seriously hoping that a few industrial designers like what they see and take a few styling cues from these outlandish designs. Not too many, mind you, but just enough to make today's boring silver Chiclets a tad more fun.
