The section of my dissertation I have focused on is the definition of beauty and what actually defines ugliness. So throughout my process I have argued my message ‘Can ugly be beautiful’. Beauty is a social construction which is defined by the beholder, someone’s ugly is another person’s beautiful. Social media has had a huge impact on how we define what beauty is, in particular famous people and idols across the media make people psychologically believe someone is beautiful depending on how popular they are in regards to how they are portrayed in the media.
My visual outcome is a magazine cover that use the contrast between the photography that has their own uniqueness along with headers that provoke and attack the cover overall. Alongside I have produced spreads that do a similar job but using my own written articles along with found interviews.
