As a professional graphic designer I am both shocked and appalled! :eek:

It makes me shudder its so nasty!

Such a beautiful example of design destroyed. Each to their own I guess. :(

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Permanent marker is easily removed with rubbing alcohol. Getting the MBA back to original looking is not a problem.

IMO, its ugly...I mean, wow, you didnt fill in the lines...you can clearly see that thin sharpie markers (vs the HUGE fat tips) are not made for large swatches of color.

Ok, in a harsher tone, its fugly. Looks like a little child did the design and never finished it.

I suggest taking the design and having it made into a vinyl sticker if you like it so much.

(but on top of the BodyGuardz, for that "no, i didn't really stick stuff on it" life insurance policy ;)

Not something I'd do but I'll def. applaud you for having the stones to do that to your Macbook! :cool:
I'm definately agreeing with that ^
Though I don't have any "stones", i gotta tell ya... it'd take some biggins!

Wow, you scribbled all over your laptop.

Get it off. Now.
LOL, by far the funniest post on the topic!

As soon as I saw the picture I cried a little bit. That poor poor macbook.

Every time you draw on a macbook with a sharpie god kills a kitten.

I Would have etched that, and designed it on a PC so all the lines were clean and smooth.

Neat.

Personally I wouldn't have filled in the leaves(?) but thats because I don't like the scribble marks.

How long did it take her to draw it?

Personally I would have got one of those invisible shield things, or a giant white sticker.. then draw on that. That way it is reversible ;)

Oh thank god, I was expecting an actual tattoo like the zune guy got.

I thought the same thing too..

I applaud your individuality in using a marker and not going for the pay-for options. Bravo for your choice :)

Naked, raw and untamed is the way I prefer mine.
