hey GIFTS! So for my April post, I decided to talk about this add from Dove that I am sure many of us have already seen, it shows the “evolution” of a model’s face for an advertisement. She is transformed into an “unreal” person with lighting, makeup, and a hairdo, and this is just the photo-shoot, after this comes editing in photoshop to elongate her neck, make her face thinner and her eyes bigger and brighter. This is a perfect example of how media is capable of influencing us in ways that tell us that we need to look better and similar to the people in the ads, when these people have been so tweeked that they don’t even look like themselves anymore.
