MY FAVORITE COVER

I'm drawn to this cover because ,though their a lot of color,it is still simple.With Elle Fanning being on the cover ,they had a complete blank versatile human canvas and make it what they want,and that what they.And seeing as this is the spring issue the multi colored flowers in her hair fit this issue of the magazine very well. 
And as for lighting/exposure ,the lighting angle on Elle Fanning's face further livens up the cover.It creates a further contrast between her face the back round ,making her stick out as the vocal point more.

Magazines Part 2

 Image Based-the image based magazine ,has a cover with one or few people on the cover. These magazines use the cover image to draw in the buyers. It is the most common magazine type used.

Illustration Based-this is the least common magazine base used. It is a cover that is hand drawn,or computer drawn on a magazine cover. Companies still often use these to separate themselves from others.

Type Based-these covers are a blank backround with font written text on them.They have no images on them ,making the words powerful and prominent.The main focus is the words so they are always curt and bold.

Concept Based-These magazines are mix of all the types stated above ,and are typically humorous. But since it it is a hybrid of three magazine types it has to formatted right,and easy to understand. 

what is the relationship between words and photos on magazine covers and why is this important? The images are there to tell the story and the words act as a follow up to 100% what the photos are meant to portray.

BLOG #1 - MAGAZINE TIP

5 things that should always me on a magazine cover:

- repetitive representation for your brand  

-aesthetic appeal

-pulls interest 

-worth your time, as well as the buyers

-efficient,easy,& fast to scan

BEST TIPS:

-Play with Eye Contact:It is amazing how much the direction of your subject’s eyes can impact an image. Most portraits have the subject looking down the lens – something that can create a real sense of connection between a subject and those viewing the image. 

- Introduce a Prop:Add a prop of some kind into your shots and you create another point of interest that can enhance your shot.

-Take Unfocused Shots:As photographers we have ‘sharp focus’ drummed into us as an ultimate objective to achieve in our work – but sometimes lack of focus can create shots with real emotion, mood and interest.

ENVIRONMENTAL PORTRAITS:

       I like this photo because of the vibrant flowers framing the men,and i chose it because it was unique amongst the other ones that                    popped up in the search engine

     I like this photo because its humours yet pretty at the same time             with the vines wrapped around                              him,flowers in the background.And i chose it for the same reason.

PHOTOGRAPHY SELF PORTRAIT:

I like that this photo tells a story other than there is a man at breakfast,if you pay attention.

and i chose it for that reason,and the old time diner setting

            i like that this photo it shot with a film camera,

     and i chose it because i thought the lighting was interesting.

CASUAL PORTRAIT:

i like that this photo could have been bare if it wasn't for the different lights shinning on her.And i selected it for that reason,  and the colors compliment each other 

I like the simplicity of this photo,i chose it because i love Obama.

PLANNING PORTRAIT ASSIGNMENT:

i will shoot a variety of people,(friends,family strangers).I would like to shoot indoors and out.And to make the shots intresting i will consider the portrait tips,& add the photography rules.

 i would go to lucky robot

LONG RESPONSE:
If we build the wall the United states economy as well as Mexicos will be in trouble, as well trading.In my opinion i believe President Trump wants the wall because he believes Mexican immmigrants are 'stealing' jobs, and since he made a promice during his campaign during his election process he is now going through with the idea of the wall to prove a point. I dont think the wall directly effect me,how ever i dont think its a good thing.I dont think the wall will happen do to Mexico refusing to pay for it despite trumps request.If Trump wants the wall so bad America should be the one to pay for the wall, and if it were to happen happen America will pay for it.

Photo manipulation and ethics

Photo Manipulations and Ethics
A. What are some of the main points you read about in the website above regarding manipulating images?
-Majority of the pictures in the popular media outlets are photoshopped.(magazines,tv,Social media, ect.)
-Photoshop makes it easier to change a photo
-Changing a photos and stories is unethical and should be left to the public.
B. What is the philosophy of newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York times regarding image manipulation?
Anything that is changed from the original image is considered unethical.
C. What do you think are acceptable things you could do to an image and not cross the line unto an unethical manipulation?
color correcting, fixing the brightness, saturation, cropping,ect..  
D. Post the manipulation (this means get that image and post it on your blog) that you think was the most unethical, and explain why you think it was unethical. If you do not know what the word ethic or unethical means, look them up on the internet. It is very important you know what those two words mean. Please write at least 2-3 sentences explaining why you think it is so bad.

I think this manipulation was unethical because they edited his skin to be darker so he would look more frightening. Basically saying that being a darker skin color makes you more dangerous, and trying to portray darker the skin the more dangerous of a human . There for i do not think this is ethically correct.

E. Post the manipulation that you consider the least unethical, and explain why you think it is not as bad as others. Please write at least 2-3 sentences explaining why you think this one is not so bad.

I think this is the least un ethical because it is not singling out a human being. Instead 
it is just photo shopping the mountains in the back to seem more appeasable to the eye,and make the picture more idealist to benefit its topic of interest. This is why i think this is the most ethically acceptibal photo presented.

Long response:

Sadly i will be in school during the inauguration of friday,but if i wasn't i would watch it, because this is going to be the first inauguration i will be able to remember, considering i was in the 2nd grade when President Barak Obama was inaugurated. Thats another reason i want to eat the inauguration. President Obama is my favorite public and i would like to see him pass the oath of presidency to President Elect Trump. Ive followed the election on twitter since its mid stages,and seeing all the negative comments on the out come makes me even more interested about what will occur at the inauguration. I don't like our president elect ,nor do i think i ever will. I believe Friday is the first day of a rough 4 years for America.But my parents are a little different. During the election they were democrat but seeing as the republican candidate won they have came to terms with President Elect Trump's future presidency.

cropping

The cropping in the photo is effective because it crops the photo to all we see is the main subject;the twin towers

viewpoint

this image shows view point because the angle the photo is taken at allows us to see the break
in the building further ,and see the smoke rising rather than straight forward.The angle also seems like it is from the ground view ,which lets us get a glimpse of what bystanders saw on 9/11.

symmetry

this image represents symmetry because his the right side of his face 

mirrors his left

creating depth

this photo represents creating depth because we can see layers of the image in the 

foreground ,middle ground, and background 

rule of thirds

The plane is the main topic of this photo and it is not in the
dead center of the photo,making it apply to the rule of thirds.
