I watched this video earlier today, it really made me think.

It really made me think about the way we look at ourselves and how warped our perception can be. You can see all the sketches properly here: http://realbeautysketches.dove.com/

I thought it was very cool to see this from the perspective of an artist. :)

Interesting. I remember reading an experimental study in class about one of these dove beauty campaigns. The results were fairly impressive. I think it's mostly good for people not to be so critical of how they look (something they have little control over), but at the same time I think there's a little too much emphasis on a woman's beauty. Some people are attractive, some are not, but at the end of the day it's not the most important thing imo.

If I was participating in this, the picture I described of myself would look like the Old Spice guy, and the picture other people describe for me would look like the kid from the movie Mask.
