FMP Beauty In Lines...

Fig. 1 Beauty In Lines (author's own)

The turning point of my project. Lines! Lines are the way forward, the word fits in so many times in so many ways through so many meanings. This is what I found:

• The outline of beauty
• A guideline for beauty
• Get rid of all lines
• Following lines
• All over underground lines
• Spend money, scan lines
• Blurred lines

Here are the explanations behind each sentence:

• 'The outline of beauty' is about the way the media shows us what beauty is meant to look like, the actual image of "perfection", what beauty is supposed to be.
• 'A guideline for beauty' is again about the media's effect and how it gives us a guideline on how to become the impossible perfection, promotes products and methods on how to get there.
•  We go through the struggles to 'get rid of all lines', these lines are wrinkles! Because the nature of growing old is seen as wrong. Women in magazines don't have even have one line on their faces, and this isn't even because they actually do not have any wrinkles or blemishes, it is because they have been touched up by software, because even the "most beautiful" woman isn't beautiful enough. 
• We are 'following lines' because we follow queues of people in shops, lines of people in society. We have become sheep. What is the aim, to look the same?
• Advertisements are 'all over underground lines', we are unable to avoid them, they are everywhere we go, the underground is just one example of where they are seen.
• We 'spend money, scan lines', these lines are bar codes.
• Last but not least- these lines are 'blurred', we do all of this, but we don't think it through much, we say we know why we buy what we buy, but we do not realise insecurities cause by what we see around us could play a big part in what we buy and do! Yes, the lines are blurred indeed.
