Beginning to Explore Magazine Content

I've started to look at developing the themes I'm coming across in my research and essay planning into my visual journal. I started to look at imagery I found in everyday magazines and I how I could alter this in order to communicate some of the themes within my essay. I've tried to place emphasis on the body being looked at and speculated over. I've also tried to use skeletal themes and imagery to run alongside the Thin Ideal. Fragmenting portraits of women was a further way to investigate how women are cropped and edited in order for them to not be viewed as a whole person.
