Distorted Perfection

'Distorted Perfection' was the title of my Final Major Project at Kingston University.

'Distorted Perfection' is a magazine and digital brand that challenges body ideologies within the media and magazines, tackling them through the use of graphics and distortion. It uses motion and glitch as well as fun, bold and colourful imagery, aiming to take away the immediate reaction that some have, to compare their own bodies. I utilise imagery from top models and influencers. The platform and magazine also has testimonials along with personal experiences from the general public, helping to reassure others that their feelings on body image and ideologies are not individual to themselves. The platform's main aim is to spread positivity in a space filled with negativity.

This project was in response to my research question: "In what way can distortion be used as a means to challenge 'idealistic' representations of women in today's media and society".
