An Interesting Article

I found an article showing Teen Age's protesting against Teen Vogue using Photo shopped images in their magazine. I find this article highly useful for my essay as we are worried of the impression of Photo Shopped images on the young and how they aspire to be like the women they view, this shows that they understand what goes into a magazine spread sheet and chose to protest against it.
"The girls have collected nearly 30,000 signatures on their Change.org petition, which asks Teen Vogue to "stop altering natural bodies and faces so that real girls can be the new standard of beauty." 
Which is inspiring that these young women want to help make change to the industry, I think it is one thing for  use to notice the misuse of Photoshop but another to participate in a petition or begin one.

Found a article/journal

related to my topic on MyUwe, known as Little Book Of Photoshop Horrors, I find it gave different views about the subject and gave me a realization of different angles to approach the subject, some of the main Photo Manipulation incidents such as OJ Simpson in Time and Newsday containing Tonya Harding an Nancy Kerrigan, there were different views on this, which I found useful to my essay. The book also shows how people in the industry have realized the imperfections of photo manipulation.
