Question 9

How do you feel about the fact that airbrushing goes on?

Do you think it should be banned?

Do you think images should have a symbol at the bottom to tell you it’s been airbrushed?

  1. I feel that it can enhance images and the way people look, but I didn't know the media edited images to the point that images didn't even look the same anymore.

    No, just dulled down a bit

    Yes!

  2. Airbrushing has been going on for years, though never to the degree it's used today. I don't think we'll ever come to the point where it isn't used in preference to natural images.

    I think it ought to be applied with a bit more sensitivity.

    I do think this is a good idea, and that the symbol should be nice and clear, and not hidden in tiny writing under the staples!!!

  3. Its a fact that the media's perfect image is what sells there magazines, so as long as the magazines are published air brushing will continue to produce unrealistic pictures

    I think there should be a less is more attitude to the amount of air brushing thats applied to images that are on display to the public

    Yes, just as mascara adverts always point out that the model is also wearing false lashes

  4. I feel it's a sad indicator of society's inability to appreciate people as they are rather than as they might be should it be possible to get to some unattainable level of 'beauty'.

    No, I don't believe in banning things.

    Yes. Getting advertisers etc to admit that what they are selling is an impossible 'ideal' would be some progress.
