What does a “perfect” body look like? A new photo project attempted to answer that question.
UK online pharmacy Superdrug Online Doctors recently published the second part of their project “Perceptions Of Perfection“ which features 19 photoshopped images of the same man. Each image is photoshopped to represent a specific country’s ideal body type, manipulated by a graphic designer from that country.
The first installment of the pharmacy company’s “Perceptions Of Perfection” series featured 18 photoshopped images of the same woman to illustrate what the “ideal” female body type around the world looks like. Similar to the first installment of the project, the company hired graphic designers from around the world to photoshop the original image.
“The quest for a perfect body transcends gender: Fueled in part by the media and popular culture, men around the world may feel even more body image — related pressure than women do — pressure to be stronger or slimmer or more muscular,” a SuperDrug press release reads.
