# Social Media-Requested Photos James Fridman Takes Social Media Photo Editing Requests Literally By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-06-23 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/james-fridman References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/386786/Graphic-Designer-Continues-To-Troll-People-With-Comical-Photoshopped-Images/) & [twitter](https://twitter.com/fjamie013) James Fridman is a [graphic designer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-your-photo-successful-first) whose hilarious execution of [Photoshop requests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design0) has catapulted him into Internet fame. [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twitter-4) users send him photos of themselves asking him to make them into something they're not or to place them in a specific setting. James Fridman completes the requests in the most literal sense possible, making for a diverse series that doesn't forgive any typos or double meanings. Though his collection is extensive, examples of his work include a girl trapped into a keyboard's space bar after asking to be Photoshopped into space and another user situated in front of a tower that produces eyeballs after asking if James could edit her to appear with the "Eyefell tower." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Literal Photoshop Requests:** Graphic design companies could leverage humor and literal interpretations to gain social media popularity. - **User-generated Content:** Brand management companies should encourage customers to participate in advertising by creating user-generated content. - **Humorous Marketing Strategies:** Marketing firms could use humor and satire in digital advertising to gain a larger audience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Graphic Design:** Graphic design companies can use custom photo editing to meet user demands. - **Advertising:** Marketing firms could use humorous and satirical advertising to attract a wider audience. - **Social Media:** Social media companies should expect users to submit user-generated content and integrate it into their platform. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Text-Described AI Image Editors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playground-ai.md) - [Text-Based Image Editing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prompt-to-edit.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Viral Face Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crazyface.md) - [Instant Photo Roast Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zinger.md) - [AI Photo Editing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reshot-ai.md) - [Social Media Fridge-Decorating Trends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lynzi-judish-fridgescaping.md) - [Frameable Device Screenshots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/framous.md) - [Elevated Social Media Visuals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/socialscreenshots.md)
