Questions-

Slightly due to the way that the images are manipulated, just not based on a facial basis. However often focus on a woman's naked body

The image does not need to make sense, the images are used to show individuality and fun, however often are used for political purposes.

3. What art movement are Hoch and Gilliam linked to?
The Dada art movement, and the modern art movement.

DEFINITION - composite image making

Personal opinion-
I personally believe to manipulate a digital image like that
 as it enables people to customise things to how they want, 
i also believe manipulating an image like so for children is 
acceptable as it helps them be creative and imaginative. 
However i do not believe it should be used in the media 
to portray news as it could be seen as false advertisement
 or a false environment. 

Definition-
The process of digitally assembling multiple images that is
mainly and typically used for print photography to manipulate.

Negatives-
People can believe it is normal, and don't realise there is 
something wrong with the image and therefore can potentially
equip a mental illness such as body dismorphia, bulimia or anorexia.

Positives-
Being able to manipulate things for an aesthetically pleasing effect.
It enables the impossible to happen.


Here is an example i have created-
