I want YOU.

06Mar08

ATTENTION FAT PEOPLE. Or not-fat people. Rather, attention people of all shapes, sizes, nationalities, colours, sexes, and assorted wonderfulnesses.

I am creating a (fake) Public Service Announcement for one of my courses. I am a nutrition student, and the course is about communicating nutrition messages to the public. My project is to create a social marketing campaign, for which I am using Health At Every Size as my theme. Within the project, I am creating a simple PSA, the baseline message of which is along the lines of “love your body.”

This is where you come in: I want pictures of you loving your body! (Er, not in that way.) Specifically, I would like pictures of people happily enjoying food and doing fun activities. Goofy is good. Fun is fine. Just send them to me.

I can’t promise I can include all submissions, because I have a very limited time for the PSA (about one minute), but I will send you the final product to see when it is done (it is bound to be amateurish and very simple, so don’t expect wonders. I won’t be posting it here.)

I was actually going to post this the same day Kate Harding posted her call for submissions for the magazine-version of the BMI Project, but yeah. For obvious reasons, I held off! So if you don’t feel like participating in that one, or can’t for whatever reason, help a poor student out and send me your picture. Send me a link or email them: peggynature@gmail.com.

ETA: I should mention that I am going to be putting this together THIS weekend. Why yes, I DO enjoy leaving everything for the last possible minute. Anyhow, if you’d like to send me your picture, please do so by Sunday night.

    I sent you a whole bunch of pictures (reduced in size for e-mail). If you want to use any of them, let me know and I’l send a higher resolution version.
