Artists Tried To Imagine Celebrities In Professions Amusingly Appropriate To Their Names, Here Are 46 Of The Best Attempts
InterviewIn the past, people's last names often reflected their profession, such as Smith for an ironworker or Baker for a bread and cake maker. However, nowadays, there are many cases where people end up in jobs that match their name, like an artist named Painter or a chef named Cook. These names are called "aptronyms".
Thinking about that, DesignCrowd came up with a challenge for digital artists to imagine celebrities in professions amusingly appropriate to their names. From Tom Cruise working on an ocean liner to Orlando Bloom watering flowers, we believe these images will make you giggle.

Bored Panda reached out to Clancy Clarke, the Head of Marketing at DesignCrowd to learn more about this platform. Clancy introduced DesignCrowd as a graphic design marketplace that allows customers to fulfill their creative needs via our community of over 1 million designs from across the globe. "Our goal is to help people running small businesses, startups and teams or people with side hustles and passion projects get high-quality designs for a price that fits their budget. DesignCrowd also runs and operates BrandCrowd a design platform that allows those same users to create stunning designs themselves - everything from logos and business cards to facebook posts and instagram stories."
Orlando Bloom
Jude Law
Clancy Clarke revealed that DesignCrowd operates using a crowdsourcing 2.0 model - whereby designers are rewarded more often for submitting great designs. "Customers can expect to receive between 50 and 100 designs from multiple designers. The more active you are in providing feedback, the more designs you're likely to receive."

David Letterman
No! No! No! I want to see him rip the letter T off his chest, and turn the Late Show into the Late Shot! (For YEARS I've been waiting for someone to do Dave as LetterMan!)
DesignCrowd has 2 types of contests - paid contests and community contests.
According to Clancy Clarke, the paid contests are paid for and run by customers - that is, they write the design brief, provide feedback to designers and select the winning designers.
"Community contests are either launched internally or via the designers themselves. The community contests work on a 'scoring' system that utilizes votes from other designers. There's no monetary prize for community contests - it's simply a chance for designers to show off their imagination and creative skills."

Why can't Kevin Spacey win at blackjack? 'Cos he keeps hitting on 17. Why did Kevin Spacey quit his music career? He kept playing in A minor. What did the woman say to Kevin Spacey on the beach? Can you move please, you're in my son. What do Kevin Spacey and Walmart have in common? Boy's pants are half-off. What time is bedtime at Kevin Spacey's house? When the big hand touches the small hand. Meeting Tom Hanks made my day, but meeting Kevin Spacey made my hole weak. Seriously, downvote away, but F*£$ Kevin Spacey.
