The world's famous landmarks are memorable for a reason. Tourists swarm to visit these human made wonderlands but have you ever wondered what famous cities would look like without people? Imagine having tourist attractions like Paris' Eiffel Tower, Australia's iconic Sydney Opera House, Egypt's Pyramids of Giza, New York's Times Square, China's Forbidden City or India's Taj Mahal completely to yourself and getting in the way of a great photograph. Now you can. We asked DesignCrowd's creative community of 400,000 graphic designers and photoshop specialists was invited to transform these landmarks by re-creating images of well known landmarks stripped bare of people and things. We received 87 designs from 20 international designers over one week and the eerily beautiful results speak for themselves. Enjoy!
