well, you don't which image is more politically incorrect....but our genuine sentiments are there anyhow...
sleep tight dr H and enjoy your Saturday as well...

good morning people and Mlle C, your picture is kind of excluding all women, that do not fit to the standard that all the women on the image conform to (fashionable, pretty, slim, young), so my picture was the counterbalance to also show a pretty common appearance

victim

hey guys...hi dr H and well, I think it has something more to do with balance and symmetry of the image...it would be more visually appealing and hopefully effective...so since when have you become a poster with women critic?

[hobglobin]

vicious

hi Mlle C, I'm the always critic on everything and I wonder how a poster can be effective if only stereotypes are shown which represent more the imagination of the poster maker than reality (I guess it was a male designer )

ppfftt...bioforum Statler strikes again.......I wouldn't call it exactly stereotyping but just a limited representation of women but that is understandable considering the space limitation itself...otherwise, to be more precise, the designer has to make one of those 'Where Is Wanda amidst all these millions of women?' poster....

viceroy

but he represented a lot of cultures...only the habitus and age is almost the same...and yes I'd prefer that Wanda type of poster

French

but like I said- for symmetry and balance...besides, you are not a graphic artist dr H....

Canadian

but I've a good taste

it could look like this:

goose

really? but I don't see any young women in these posters...and to make real changes for women everywhere, you have to target the young generation...they shldn't wait until they are old or iconic before they do something...

[hobglobin]

down feathers

some there are, any it was just examples how to make posters with more persons to have a broader range (that posters have special groups of women and therefore of course a limited range)

downtown

but yours look more like wanted or missing posters a bit dark and sombre...Women's Day should more upbeat, hopeful and really a day for celebration...

[hobglobin]

uptown

just change the poster background to pink and you have what you want

[casandra]

upkeep

...pink? breast cancer fund raising has a monopoly on it.....I'll just go back to my first image...and you enjoy yours....

[hobglobin]

up and down

or magenta or a rainbow colours

[casandra]

all around

rainbow? that won't be original either... anyways, I will think of the best colour palette...
have a good night, dr H...enjoy your Sunday as well...
