Photo Retouching

I personally think that when it come to looking through magazines, newspappers, etc...Your not actually looking at the person in the magazine you are looking at the medias poster star model, the person they want us all to be. you look at the person who's looks and image has been altered to fit the needs and wants of the media masters i personally feel like i'm being lied to because it's not a person i'm looking at it's some computerized
" Person ". I feel kind of wiered out when it comes to gazing throught magazines, because it shows that you can't be you, you must be better, different, PERFECT... Also, when it comes to the images I dont fully know if what i'm seeing is the medias ways, or the peoples ways. I almost feel insulted to the point where I cant trust what the media is trying to put out for me, and others like myself ( The World ) because it seems everything now of days must be altered in order to get the coverage, or to be shown/ talked about.
