Body Evolution - Disclaimer for airbrushed models

"We all now know that seeing thousands of "perfect" body types in the mass media is having negative affects on young girls and more. Airbrushing as a practice should be discouraged when it transforms otherwise permanent features on models. A "mandatory disclaimer" to state that a model has had her physical body manipulated on a computer is a very simple step in the right direction to addressing the harm that we're causing."

Naked Brands by myHOTJuly

Even if a brand is trying hard to express his core values and identity through a logo , there will be always another side that we see, as a customer, based on our experiences and visions. I tried to "undress" some famous brands in this personal project made just for fun.

Anna Utopia Giordano - Venus.

Art has always been looking for the perfect aesthetic standard: a balance of ideal shapes and sizes to follow for drawing the human body. The model of beauty has evolved through human history, from the greek proportions of Policleto of Argos to the busty beauty of the Renaissance, leading up to the slender body of Twiggy and the contemporary athletic stars.

What would have happened if the aesthetic standard of our society had belonged to the collective unconscious of the great artists of the past?

Anna Utopia Giordano replies with Venus: ten works that re-adjust ten historical "Venus" to the contemporary aesthetic harmony.

Anneke Short - Confessions of a Designer.

"In design, as in any domain, there are certain preconceptions about what designers think and do. This project is a collection of quotes that I have either found myself thinking or that I have heard my designer friends say, often on more than one occasion".
