I just recently took a picture of my iMac which had a mock up of a site layout mocked up on an iMac and even had an iPad with a mocked up design on it as well. I think I could have done more.
this is legendary, haha. i admit, the tilted phone screenshots do seem to be a bit dominant right now, but i can understand why people might consider that approach. what better to way to demonstrate your design then on the device it was designed for? even so, designers could certainly be more creative with this.
Mocking something everyone does and gets praised for every time they do it.. funny or ironic or something else?
I get it, I guess since it does show the design on the device it was designed for, but how does that show the detail in it?
It's nice because you can finally see a *real* design and how it's applied to things that people use instead of manipulating a 400x300 px rectangle to look perfect, but IS there a better way?
I remember when dribbble had a rule about not posting pictures of your cat, but half blurry pics on monitors and iphones is a-okay?
Didn't know we were going Inception here. It might take me awhile to get the email of a photo copy of a fax of a photo of a screen with an instagram of a photo of a phone on a desk.

@ormanclark had tweeted about the excess of "tilted" @dribbble screenshots. Thought I'd have a little fun with it.

This obsession will never go away, we are innately attracted to the real imagery of photography over a screenshot. I admire this shot Dave (^_−)☆
