Evidently the New Look is similar to the I Have Polio Look.

New Look: Show A Little Leg

At first I thought it was a matter of perspective, but actually... that leg is super creepy and way too small. Eep!
I see what they've done wrong here. She's got different colour sandals on each foot, right?
(Please, nobody try to explain it to me, really...)
Not to mention, that "W" looks like a boob.
Congenital stunting is the new black.
that w is the boob she used to have, before the ps'er removed it and her leg
Poor gimpy model.
I'm waiting for the "I can do that" comments. Or maybe it is a wide-angle leg-shrinking lens.
For the record: I can't do that. My legs are both the same size.
That's not a leg - it's a feeler, much like an ant has on its head. This model is embarrassed about her fleshy feeler, so she dresses it to look like a leg. Her other leg is behind the wall that she is straddling.
She shouldn't be embarrassed, though -- with that feeler, she is obviously more evolved than most of us!
It's not just the size of the leg, it's the angle it's starting at - it seems to be coming up from a point where there would have already been quite a few inches of leg already.
Her leg has a lovely corner on the calf.
As you do.
Her right butt cheek is, like, 2 feet long, which gets her a lot of right-profile work in hip-hop vids, but only left-profile work in ads like this.
Here's a bit of perspective correction. I think it still looks odd, but a quick using a thumb and forefinger spread apart to eyeball measurements, and they're pretty close.
And there's also a slight mismatch between the two sheets on the billboard. There may have been a little leg length lost to that.
"Show a little leg"
Very good.
And either that's a banner she's leaning against or the back of head is extremely flat.
The odd leg and her pelvis aren't matching up. The torso says left leg straight, but the leg isn't listening.
A complete disaster...
I don't think its a PSD - I think it's a large poster advertisement constructed by dividing a large image into several panels which were then stuck on the wall and that whoever did the sticking didn't align the sections up very well.
If you look closely, you can see a sort of "jagged" bump on both sides of her leg that can be connected by a straight vertical line - i.e., where the seam between two panels is misaligned.
Hey man look that - http://whatsontv.co.uk/blogs/tvspy/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/emmy-comedy-noiminations-2008/10-weeds1.jpg
the legs are weird not?

SSoFF
If you look closely at the W in new you can see its been cut and one half came from somewhere else
I took that picture, thanks for your appreciation and sorry that I couldn't be right in front of it. poor girl.
She's only 18 sizes smaller than the usual New Look customer.
New Look is one step up (but a very, very small step) from Primark and attracts a similar clientelle.
Maybe the small leg in the photo is taken from one of the child slaves they use to make the hideous old crap.
This is so funny.
Hello, Proportion? Could you please come home now? The PhotoShoppers are lost without you. Bring your friend Perspective with you. KTHXBAI
@Kasey
Well you wont see that here, because this is an example of a PSD, unlike some posts on this site, which are not; when they are not, those who know what they're talking about step in to explain the simplicities of visual media to those that have no clue.
Here's a simple rule to spot 'no PSD'ers ... they generally crop up when the post isn't a PSD; so my guess is by you expecting these folks you really have no idea whether each post is a PSD or not, you simply believe the gospel word of the faceless editor of the site and mock those who actually have eyes in their skull and a brain betwixt their ears.
Hope that cleared things up :)
LOL @Yasir @strawberryJAMM
I don't think the post is in relation to the slight seam misalignment, I think you'll find its the hideously 'shopped right leg that's about half the size of the left leg (irrelevant of perspective).
fail, this is not a PSD, my girlfriend can do that, this blog is goin' down, i'm unsubscribing.
am i doin' it rite?
@adler
You sir, are the fail.
Funny, they usually try to make the legs look longer, not shorter/smaller. I wonder what was going on in the 'shopper's mind.
N: Thanks for your help, but I wrote because I knew it was a PSD. Sometimes they are tricky, but this one was easy.
The non-PSD's are still editorial disasters because an ad isn't supposed to make you think "what is wrong with her ___"
oh come on you naysayers! show me a pelvis that can make a leg do that and I'll take it all back - but look at where her right hip would have to be for her leg to be at that angle - it's below the hem of her shorts. And the leg is marginally too small as well - yes yes only marginally but it's noticeable isn't it.
you simply believe the gospel word of the faceless editor of the siteMuch better to believe the gospel work of those stupid enough to actually spend time and effort "refuting" those posts which they decide are not Photoshop Disasters.
and mock those who actually have eyes in their skull and a brain betwixt their ears.
A brain made of:
a) mush
b) shit
c) air
Hey N.
Thanks professor! Us yokels sure is dumb and really appreciate you bein' so smart and all. I would never have known huh.
You must have one of them Doctorates of Comedy Sites right?
My first girlfriend had boobs like that
Looks really funny.
That's jacked up, dude.
Is it me, or does she become progressively more two-dimensional as you move from the bottom to the top so that her leg dangles in front of the ledge while her head is part of the poster she's supposed to be leaning against? Kind of a cool effect.
@tim
I noticed that too. Looks like she's kicking her leg out of the poster.
WV (I can't pass up on this one): figstrog
@Tim: Yeah, her head looks like it's painted onto the wall, but the rest of it looks more or less three-dimensional.
Another interesting effect is that the shadows of her hand and her torso are to the right and only slightly downward while the shadow of her left foot is drastically downward.
is this an arm? Or a leg? I don't know...
the human in me just went "oh jeez!!! thats creepy..." and then the artist rears its head and say... what if the artist wanted to be super creative and tried his hands on out of bounds technique... you know where the 2D subject leaves the canvas and becomes 3D
going by the background.. it seems to be in perspective and the face and right leg looks flat as if printed while the rest of the body seems to be 3D...
makes sense?? i donno im not sure :p
Isn't this the fired Ralph Lauren-model?
Maybe this is proof that RL didn't alter her image ;-)
