"A pin-up girl, also known as a pin-up model, is a model whose mass-produced pictures see wide appeal as popular culture. Pin-ups are intended for informal display, e.g. meant to be "pinned-up" on a wall. Pin-up girls may be glamour models, fashion models, or actresses.
The term pin-up may also refer to drawings, paintings, and other illustrations done in emulation of these photos. The term was first attested to in English in 1941 however, the practice is documented back at least to the 1890s.The pin-up images could be cut out of magazines or newspapers, or be from postcard or chromo-lithographs, and so on. Such photos often appear on calendars, which are meant to be pinned up anyway. Later, posters of pin-up girls were mass-produced and became an instant hit." This is the description from Wikipedia.
I found that Pin Up girls can either be in cartoon form or in photographic form. I like the way in which models can have sex appeal and still be classy. The older images are in black and white and this is because colour photography had not been developed. Most of the poses pulled in the images are either very classy or have connotations of sex. The images here have shadows in the backgrounds and therefore must be a convention. A code of the picture on the left is that it is signed. A code of an image on the right is that it is in colour and uses a signature pose. Features
- All the models have their legs on show which has connotations of sex. The denotations of this are that they have nice bodies.
- The fact that they are wearing skimpy clothing shows a level of fashion interest. Music and fashion link in with each other well.
- The Woman are all posing in a sexual manner but it comes across as classy and not as crude.
- The images can either be in colour or black and white. Black and white would come across as cheap and that is why I am going to use colour.
