Nothing is really what it seems nowadays...especially when it comes to advertising. Most of those picture-perfect girls and boys we see on print ads don't normally look the way they do in real life. In my advertising classes in college, we were taught how some clients can become really demanding. Since models represent their products, they want these models' photos to look flawless. Lines are removed, hair color made luster, curves etched in nil perfect areas. This is called the art of "retouching".
