Boobs - discussion
Here's a discussion topic for a rainy Friday.
Actress Keira Knightley recently posed topless for Interview Magazine on the condition that they did not Photoshop her very small breasts in post production. Previously she has had editors and designers 'boost' her not very big bust and it annoys her that they seem to think this is necessary. Here is the topless pic, I have covered the nipples to abide by the U rating, although I realise what I have covered them with may cause greater offence! The most obvious example of her gripe is for the film poster for King Arthur So mighty Org, do you think if a woman is beautiful but has bee sting boobies that's good enough and they should just be appreciated for what they are, or can everything be improved by the magic of manipulation in Photoshop? Discuss...

She is the shape she is, and needs no digital manipulation.

Re: Boobs - discussion
I understand and can appreciate why executives photoshopped her breasts for the King Arthur photo, and I also appreciate her decision to step out what presumably is a comfort zone for her ( the privacy to her body I presume ) to make a point.
Unfortunately absolutely everything we do is because of businesses which rely on minimizing margins and maximizing profits. People complain about design decisions in videogames without considering that the developers of the videogame are a business and money comes first. We are also genetically built to have attraction to things such as wet lips ( lipstick ) and wide hips, breasts are no different. Generations of marketing has proven it's more financially viable to appeal to the majority, which is why movie posters will continue to feature scantily clad actors. What I do believe is important is breaking the fake image too often portrayed by social media, not everybody is going to have the face of Keira Knightly or Angelina Jolie's breasts. Too much importance is placed on celebrities, their opinion too but that's a whole different thing, which leads to kids growing up in an age with social media a forever arm's length away forever depressed because they don't have the body of a superstar. Social acceptance should be the foremost priority in how the future generations are raised, I now hold Keira Knightly in a higher regard. Thanks for the share.

Re: Boobs - discussion
I think you generally need to identify the target audience. There are sectors where appearance and image are more important than the individual behind and this is so true in advertising where the public rarely have the time or inclination to look to deeply. Posters, flyers and such like are all designed to capture the publics attention and nothing is more effective at that than sex is. Once you have their attention then you might be in a position deliver the rest of your message. If you don't believe me ask yourself which part of the above photos you looked at first, and what was the first difference you spotted?

Due to my own strange and unusual genes my cleavage is not exactly huge despite my height, while my sister who barely passed five feet had bangers the size of basket balls. When I met the wife she did talk about my being augmented, but I was and am happy in my skin just as I am. Anyway, if I really want to double my boob size, I just have to wait for mosquito season, then I can be like that bird from Total Recall! |
