Dove subversive photoshop ‘app’
Four for you Dove. You go Dove.
BEST. AD. EVER.
ok i’ll probably- take this off later as i do with a lot of personal posts i just type out in the moment but i just gotta’ say, while i appreciate the sentiment and agree that the portrayal of ‘beauty’ in the media is definitely waaay obscured (who wouldn’t?) dove realizes art directors and graphic designers rarely make the decision when it comes to what photos are going to be retouched? sure, they could simply reject the job; it’s certainly something i’d never want to do but as someone hoping to get into the industry i realize it’s a tough market and you gotta’ get bread on the table. promoting a healthier image is great, it’s wonderful, but don’t make graphic designers the villains. talk about their bosses, the companies; don’t go we’re calling you out for something you had no decision in!! enjoy having to redo this entire thing in order to pay for your cost of living, shame on u.
on the other hand what they’re trying to promote is most definitely a good thing so i’m not in defense of photo retouching for ads at all, but— it’s like? let me explain 2 u a thing dove
sorry to those who disagree too because i can totally see this argument both ways i just??? maybe if you’re making a living off of retouching only, but that’s rarely the case?
???
yeah dove is bein kind of a jerk here
If Dove wants to “speak directly to those responsible for for manipulating our perceptions” maybe they should talk to their brother company, who made this ad…and many that are far worse.
