I recently submitted to Nest an independent publication, whose next issue is focused on gender. I wanted to enter a piece of work for this issue as it allowed me to draw on my research surrounding gender conducted as part of OUGD601. Within this brief I chose to focus on the Adonis Complex a term given to a form of body dysmorphia that effects mainly young men and can result in excess body building as those effected see themselves as less muscular than they actually are. This element of the Adonis Complex is the focus of the piece I submitted which showcases what those effected by the adonis complex see versus what others see. The use of a bold extended typefaces achieves this concept as the outline represents what those effected see with the filled, mirror version behind what others see. Making the filled version difficult to see at first represents the issues faced by those effected as they cant see the damage they are doing to themselves.
