I feel pretty happy with the overall outcome of my picture. I am obsessed with Taylor Swift and to look like her would be a dream come true. The overall transformation of the picture I believe looks good, my face does not look to plastered on there. It looks quite normal.
This changes my views of magazine ads because now I know no one, absolutely no one is perfect or even looks like the ads in magazines or papers. The way you can edit pictures now a days is astonishing, you can take someone who has wrinkles, red eyes and extra fat and make all that go away. The people you see in magazines are real people but that is most likely not their real body. So do not get discouraged by looking at them and thinking they have the perfect body because they do not, no one does. We are who we are.
What this says today about the perfect body image is that if you do not have the perfect body you just do not fit in. It really affects teenagers because as young ladies we already stress enough about having the perfect body. We stress about it to either fit in or impress the guys. Having billboards and magazines showing those photoshopped bodies on there makes it twice as hard to feel good about ourselves. Everyone should be happy with the body they have, everyone was made perfect.
A couple of things I really did well on were getting my face to fit almost perfectly on Taylor's. I had to rotate it and cut some of my face off to fit on hers, but I got it to fit just right so it would not look abnormal. Another thing I did well on was getting rid of blemishes, as a teenager we all get blemishes every now and then, and with photoshop you can clear all that up. I got rid of mine, almost every single dot on my face is gone.
A couple things I could spend more time on is putting make up on my face and adjusting my skin tone to match more perfectly with Taylor Swift's. If you look really close at the picture of Taylor you can see my skin tone on my face does not neccessarily match hers. The make up was an extremely hard process to conquer, you had to take all kinds of little careful steps. The process took many classes to complete. I would like to spend more time on these tasks because it would make the picture more effective and look more real.
