Assignment #3 Option #1
The left photo shows her natural beauty and what she actually looks like posing for the photo. The right photo shows what she looks like after they photoshop her body. They take her original photo and slim her body down to the perfect size that looks "acceptable" or "sexy" towards people or the magazine companies. Photoshop shouldn't be allowed, it doesn't show peoples natural beauty. It shows what the magazines want to see or what modelling agencies look for. Photoshop also has an effect on people who don't know that its actual photoshopping peoples body. When people don't know that it is photoshop they might think to themselves "that girls body is really fit and it looks way better than my body" So it might influence to them to want to look skinny as the girl in the right photo looks like. This sort of thing isn't okay because people might not be comfortable in there own body and would want to change there appearance of how they look. Photoshop shouldn't be allowed because its taking natural beauty away from the person that is getting photoshopped and natural beauty away from other people who think they have to look like her after her being photoshopped.
This is pointed to magazine covers. |
These girls are used for advertising undergarment company which is called Victoria Secret. They use skinny and good look women to show off there clothes or any undergarments that they have to advertise. Using these kinds of girls to advertise these things is completely wrong. People shouldn't be ashamed of there own body. I think that they should use natural beauty looking girls to advertise things like this because it isn't fair to other people wanting to look like these women and being ashamed of there own body
