Dear Phillip
From the transcript of your meeting with content creators it is clear that you are under the impression that proof of document origination is not viable through layered original psd files.

While this method of proof is used in other areas all the time, you are unwilling to accept this as proof as you believe it is reasonable to assume the documents can be faked.

With this in mind I offer you a challenge - quite a simple challenge.

I provide you with a flattened image here and you use your photoshop skills to reverse engineer this document into a layered photoshop document that can fool people it is the original when being compared side-by-side to the original psd.

To be generous I will also allow you to get help from one other person. To be even more generous I will give you 7 days to complete this, a normal thief wouldn't have so much time.

An impartial jury of 4 people will be set up upon completion of the task to evaluate the final psd's and to be fair to both parties we should choose a further 2 people each.
These people should have good knowledge of graphic production though, this is the only real stipulation.

Here is the image to re-create:



I look forward to seeing your results as do many content creators.

The point of this exercise is to find out just how easy it is to re-create layered photoshop documents from a flattened image.
