The one on the right looks fine, it looks like what food is supposed to look like, not so uncannily proportionally perfect like the one on the left.
I agree, Nutz...
They really put the *ADD* in advertisement, don't they.
I didn't see the comment picture when I posted that, but the same thing with all the above pictures (with the exception of the Arby's sandwich, that one is a little sick-looking.)
Voted : All of them look nasty
I wouldn't touch left OR right with a bargepole. I don't eat fast food. I'd rather eat cardboard!
I'm not a big fan of fast food either, but I must admit, I do like egg mcmuffin
Voted : Photoshopping is done all the time.
I read somewhere a lot of the photos of food you see is not real food, for instance, white paint is used instead of real milk in some milk ads...
Voted : Tricks of the trade
^ Nah, the last time I remember, there are laws prohibiting that. If you're picturing an advertised item, the item in the picture has to actually be what is being advertised. But substitutions can be made for the items not advertised. For example, on a box of corn flakes, the corn flakes have to be real, but the milk is actually white glue. In ice cream topping ads, the topping is real, but the ice cream is a mixture of corn starch, water, and food coloring.
In ads like the ones pictured, it's real food. It could be photoshopped to hide blemishes and imprefections, but it has to be the actual food. They are prepared in a way though that makes them look much better than what you're getting... Buns not mashed, condiments and vegetables arranged so that all are in view, fresher cuts of vegetables, meat misted to make it look more moist, etc... Some things you are allowed to do, some things you're not.
In televised ads, camera tricks are used to make items look bigger. Not to mention smaller actors are sometimes used.
And the ones in the ads are usually made by artists, not 17 year olds who would rather be at home playing video games.
^ Yummm, you've actually made that crap sound more appetizing.
^ Pimply faced teenagers putting your burger together is more appetizing? lol
