Cosmetic Surgery
Organic beauty initially seemed like a very boring and obvious theme for this unit. I research it before I found my feet to choose this theme and although inspriring, I did not wish to create images based on food or nature, this just was not the mood I wanted to go for.
On a previous post I inserted an image of a female wrapped up in a bandage with a very prominant lip. This image was from a beauty story on Plastic surgery which I really wanted to do BUT I felt it did not fit the theme Organic Beauty and almost contradicted the theme so I put this idea to the back of my head and moved on, which is where my troubles began as I struggled to come up with anything else.
During my Tutorial today with Sarah I expressed my concern that I did not have a theme or idea but I mentioned my cosmetic surgery idea and she loved it. She asked me how I would expand on this idea and I then showed her the images I found and explained the different ways cosmetic surgery can be expressed such as in a comedy way or showing the different procedures such as lip enhancing, botox or nose jobs.
My main idea is to look at cosmetic surgery and how popular it has become. As this is an editorial style project my main focus will be how I could use these images within a magazine with editorial writing, product shots and illustrations. I want to focus my research on the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures such as lip fillers, nose jobs, brow lifts and botox. I would like to create looks that show a very glamorous/beautiful side to surgery much like the images I have seen. I would also like to use part of the brief of having to do product shots/illustrations to focus more on the organic side of my theme and how you don't always need these procedures to get great results, almost like a magazine article that gives the readers options on either having surgery or using products.
For example you can have surgery on the eye area to remove bags/wrinkles, this is painful and expensive, however there are products that claim to give amazing results without the pain such as L'Oreal's revitalift or even some amazing colour correction and concealer.
Lips are also an extremely common procedure but again, there are products that claim to plump and refine the lips without fillers.
