A picture of you as a Simpsons character
Short version: Go to www.simpsonizeme.com and try it yourself
Long(er) version: Burger King and Fox have created The Simpsonizer to promote their new movie (the one that was in the cinema). Go to www.simpsonizeme.com upload a photo of yourself and the application analyzes your face, turning you into an honorary Springfield resident. There’s a picker tool to help you dial in the details once your photo has been Simpsonized.
Read on for some tips and improvements
Here are some tips from my own trial and error:
1. The site is under a heavy load, so if you keep getting errors, try again.
2. Your picture needs to be at least 640×480, but bigger is better. Go for 800×600 to be safe.
3. 72dpi is OK, but again: bigger is better.
4. Straight-on head shots are all that seem to work. If you get errors, go into Photoshop and pump up the contrast settings. The more, the better.
5. While in Photoshop, removing any random items behind your head will also improve your results, especially if they have a lot of texture. A white wall works, but things like bricks, trees and skylines need to go.
