How can I make a censor without being tacky!!!

courtjester · September 24th, 2003, 07:26 PM

I am designing a site. www.miamorgan.com and it can't have any body parts showing as it is not an adult site. I have a couple of pictures that do show more on a female than is allowed, how can I put a sensor on the girls without making an ugly black box??? If you check out the site you will also see a smiley face wont do, lol.

cartoon beavers and blue tits over the relevent body parts always looks funny, but i guess thats too tacky!!.... maybe you could blur out the rude bits?

Get them to wear some clothes? If god had meant us to be naked we'd have been born that way.

just put a small banner with the website logo over the offending areas.

Put a small box over said offending parts with "XXX 4 PRIVATE MEMB0RS ONLY!!1" written on it.

Oh, you want serious suggestions? Don't, basically. It will make them look tacky whatever you do. It seems quite an arty site so I'm sure a bit of nudity will be in context with the work. Or crop the images. Or don't use the images. Or retake the images with underwear on (generally good advice for both the models and the photographer). But trying to blur or block parts of the image will look ruder than without.

Well blurring it out,makes people focus on it, I wanted something that wasnt so eye catching, I was hoping their would be something that one of yall had used that makes is blend in. I guess I could draw some underwear, lol, but it might not look to real. ohh well.

I got it!!! I could put animated flashing signs saying, LOOK HERES A __________.

You could do a gradual blur that would make things ok, but to be honest, what is it on that site that's actually not there for minors to see? I had an extensive browse and couldn't see anything innappropriate that you wouldn't see either on fairly early evening TV or some posters/billboards/adverts, etc here in the UK...

Cleavage you can see walking down the street!!

These pictures I havent added to the site yet, they show 100% of the female body. Both top and bottom, front and back, I have talked to the lady and she suggested cutting them completely out and leaving a blank space there, but that looks terrible, I am stuck.

I bet you did! I did too.. LOL

I would just upload them and not worry about it. The site is very artistic and I don't think the intended audience of the site would take offence, it is very much inline with it's genre.

Apart from that, I want to see them now!

How about an artistic slicing?

Can you send these pictures to me so I can have a closer look?

courtjester · September 26th, 2003, 12:13 PM

lol. Guys if you want that kind of stuff and for free just go to a free site, please. lol. I am not giving out art for peoples pleasure. lol.

maybe you would want to pixelate it though it would draw attention as u said earlier. another possible way is to use the healing brush or something like that and patch the "rude" porn part of the pictures with skin. as in the a*s gets patched up with skin so the person has no ass... may be weird though...
