Cover Types Notes

Cover types
1. Early magazine Covers
Has no photo more like a painting. Tend to use big color spots and also no date line, price line, or barcode. They are very simple. Subject matters were church related, good, and evil.

2.The Poster Cover
Small words and with a picture. The set of words on there talk about the picture. Has to be a really good picture to catch people's attention so that they could but it.

3.Pictures Married to Type
Less color and text. Most text is on the left side.The text is involved in the picture. Not as many entry points and a little more dull.

4.In the Forest of Words
Different font size , different color, placed in different places and using different fonts. When the text is over the picture so you can look at both at the same time.




Stuff that should be in my magazine:
Title
Photograph
Barcode

Portrait and Self-Portrait tips and ideas

Settings—The Other Subject
The settings in which you make pictures of people are important because they add to the viewer's understanding of your subject. The room in which a person lives or works, their house, the city street they walk, the place in which they seek relaxation—whatever it is, the setting provides information about people and tells us something about their lives. Seek balance between subject and environment. Include enough of the setting to aid your image, but not so much that the subject is lost in it.

Photographing your shadow is another way to do a self-portrait. Shoot early or late, when the sun is low in the sky. A light, stucco wall, a sidewalk, or any other simple background can suffice. Just be sure there aren't a lot of distractions around the surface you choose.

Use your imagination! A self-portrait can reveal a lot about you, by including props and even other people that are meaningful in your life. If you've never attempted to shoot a self-portrait, expand your creative horizons and give it a try.

Environmental Portraits

This is one of my favorite environmental portraits because i like how the background has nothing so the viewer dosent get distracted by anything behind the main subject. I also like the way that man is posing and is not looking directly at the camera.

This is another one of my favorite environmental portraits because i like how it is simple and you can tell a whole story by just looking at this picture. I just love the way it came out and the rules its using.

Self-Portraits

 I really like what they did with this picture because they took a picture of this persons face and put like camaflauge spots on the face so you can bearly see it and i just think thats very creative and unique. It also makes you look at it for a while to figure out what really is going on in the picture.

This is another of my favorite self portraits because they really zoomed in into the girls face. There are no distractions its only her full face.

My plan for my portrait assignment is to shoot my partner and i want to shoot somewhere outside in a bench with a couple of trees around, i want the person in the picture to look somewhere else and not directly to the camera, as if no one where there just her. The picture has to be in good focus. I do not want no other person on the background because the person on the bench is my main subject.

Welcome Back!!

This is one of my favorite pictures because i like the way the shape the girl forms with her body, hands, and hair. I also like how the backround blends in with the girl. It is just like a crazy party picture.

This picture is very symmetrical. Its very straight the dancers form a lot of shapes with the dance moves. They are all doing the exact same movement and looks very perfect.

I really like this picture because of the bright colors. Also the crazy hats the both models are wearing and the make up really pops out there face wich really catches a lot of attention especially the plain black backround makes them more visible.

1.What was the best song of 2010?

Fireworks

I picked this song because it is very catchy and I really like to listen to it. I like the rythm of it and the whole song, i just really enjoy singing along. Its one of my favorite songs now too.

2.What was the best movie of 2010?

I chose this movie because it is an action movie. Also because it was a very mysterious movie that had many suprises in it that you just could not expect. I really like this movie its like a lot of action and it is not boring at all. It is confusing movie at first but at the end it you will figure it all out.

3. What was the most important news story of the year?

Arizona passes though anti llegal immigration Law.

I think this was the most important news of the year 2010 because it was a big deal a lot of people started to freak out because of that. They also started to move from states or the way they looked. Also because there is a lot of immigration going on.

4. Who was the most important person of 2010?

I picked Barack Obama because he is the president of the United States. He is the one that everyone should know. He is in charge of everything and the one that says what is going to be done. What happens in the United States is because of him. So he is the most important person of 2010.

5. What was the biggest sports OR entertainment, story OR sports/entertainment person of 2010 (you should google what is appropriate for your choice)

Cristiano Ronaldo is a very good player and i just found out about him in 2010. He is my favorite soccer player out of all the rest. I also love to watch soccer so thats another reason why i chose him because he plays it. He is one of the best players too. I like how he plays and scores many goals.
