COP3 quotes

'Because our society values attractiveness so highly, we tend to set predetermined notions about people judging them solely by their looks. Attractiveness and this “fantasy-element,” are directly related to a woman’s appearance' (Chaiko, R) The Mystery of Sex in Advertising accessed April 2017

'There are plenty of sexy images produced by hard-core illustrators, photographers, and designers each year, but graphic design is actually neuter, neither male or female, a clean slate. A designer can inject sex appeal into design through word or picture, but unlike a piece of clothing, for instance, a piece of graphic design is never inherently sexy.'
(Heller, S)
