I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me turn the original pictures into the altered ones? I've been hoping to do this for a while now...I know next to nothing about photoshop so could someone maybe tell me how I would go about doing it, or if someone here is a PS expert could they maybe try their hand at it? Any help is appreciated.

I'm assuming they brought the original image into Adobe Illustrator and used the "live trace" feature to vectorize the image (I don't know if Photoshop has a similar feature). Once it was vectorized, they brought it into Photoshop and did the boxing, drop shadows, text, etc.
