Playboy: Three-dimensional nude models
The men's magazine Playboy is showing its nude model cut-outs in 3D for the first time. In the June issue of US Playboy, the 2010 Playmate of the Year, Hope Dworacyzk, will appear in new dimensions, looking through 3D glasses.
Playboy founder Hugh Hefner is convinced that when people want to see something in 3D, they prefer to look at naked women. According to the press release, the latest Playboy will therefore also come with the necessary 3D glasses. "I think people will enjoy seeing the Playmate of the Year in real form," Hefner told US media. The vision of 3D Playmates has been on his mind for a long time - since the 1950s, according to the Playboy founder. At times, however, there was not enough money to equip all the magazines with 3D glasses. Hefner sees the 3D format as an argument for print that defies the digital trend. This image is an example of how books and magazines differ from computer images. You can hold them in your hands and keep them.
Playboy has been struggling with dwindling circulation for some time now. Last fall, the men's magazine caused a stir with the cartoon character Marge Simpson as a Playmate in the magazine.
In terms of merchandise, Playboy has also started to offer an increasingly wide range of products in order to appeal to as many people as possible. The expanded branding is also intended to generate additional income. However, die-hard fans of the magazine are not very enthusiastic and criticize that the products on offer today no longer have any connection to the original brand.
