the 5 May General Election. And it seems some will use all the tools

Channel 4 News wants to help you, the voter, get your own back on these sleights of hand at the keyboard by reworking Election campaign materials yourself (see left from b3ta.com).

Below are a few of the recent campaign posters released by the three major UK parties. You can get to work on these in Photoshop or choose your own election photos or materials. What if election posters had to tell the whole truth? Given a completely free rein, what might the Dorset South image really look like?

Email your finest efforts at skullduggery to news@channel4.com. The most cunning deceptions or downright ridiculous cut and pastes will be published on this page. The best two, as chosen by the Channel 4 News team, will receive a copy of Jon Snow's autobiography 'Shooting History: A Personal Journey' and a DVD of Chris Morris' satirical Channel 4 series 'Brass Eye'.
