"The Perfect Body Image"

In computer class, we have recently learned about photoshop and how magazines use photoshop to make models/celebrities look better. We did this in class by photoshoping our face onto a celebrities.

Before

After



I think the overall transformation of my picture is good. I put alot of hard work and time into this. It looks good, I like how I matched the skin tone farely well.

       I think magazine adds are unrealistic. They take perfectly fine looking people and make them look better. (almost unrealistic) Cindy Crawford was quoted saying "I wish I looked as good as Cindy Crawford". She said this referring to her photoshoots in magazines. They change girls pictures so much that the girl doesnt even end up looking at herself. Today I think the "perfect body image" is unrealistic. Studies have shown that since magazines and ads have started drastically changing pictures of girls, the number of plastic surgeries have gone up. Which shows that people do get low self esteem from looking at these unrealistic photos.

      I used Blake Lively's body for this project and I got the picture from: http://www.cheapchicdaily.com/tag/Blake-Lively. I think I did very well on applying the lipstick to this picture. I also think I did well on cover up. I hid some pimple and moles well with makeup. Some things I think I could work on would be cutting my face out of my picture better. and also having it go well together with the body. The skin color blended well but you can still tell it is not me.
