I believe that composite images can be used to make something that is aesthetically pleasing such as the photograph below. This photo does not connote any unrealistic expectations from the general public nor does it convey any sort of false information to the people viewing. Therefore this photograph has the purpose of an aesthetic appearance without any false meaning.
However composite images can also be used to mislead. It can lead to humour or false information.
This photograph obviously is misleading. However it has been done with the intention of humour without having the general public believe a misleading source to a controversial topic.
However these photos are misleading on a controversial topic. OJ Simpson in the first magazine is in his normal colour. However the second magazine has manipulated the image to make OJ Simpson a person with a different race. This causes controversy since there is no real racial identity to him and the general public could be lead to believe that people with darker coloured skin are unacceptable and harmful people.
