Magazines Part II

Early Magazine Covers

in the mid-1700s magazines did not use what we think as cover. it was more like the second page of a book or a note book, a page with a table of contents. sometimes, if they had a cover it was a drawing modeled after a book. There was no description, all the information about it was inside the magazine.

---

II. The Poster Cover:
Pictures That Need No Words

from the 1890s to the 1960s, most of the magazines used the same type of cover. It was more like a poster illustrated by the outstanding professional illustrators in the late 1800, even though excellent photographs existed at that time. some of the cover looked as if they were painted to be frame in the wall. Many of the illustrators became nationally famous.

III. Pictures Married to Type

this magazines relied heavily on cover lines to draw the readers inside the magazine. cover lines were around since the late 1800s, but became an important part of magazines by the 1900s . most of the covers had a large title and a illustration.

 

IV. In the Forest of Words

by the 21st century cover lines were as important as pictures and illustrations, a powerful picture is not enough  for a magazine cover. Cover usually include photographs of nakedly-exposed models. Most of the poster covers are used for art magazines, music, travel, photography and specials magazines.

My Favorite Cover

The New York Times Magazine, November 24, The Flight Risk

Photographer: Martin Schoeller
Designer: Arem Duplessis
"For this cover story on the U.S. women’s ski-jumping team, we featured the Olympic hopeful Sarah Hendrickson as photographed by Martin Schoeller. Schoeller captures the competitive spirit of Hendrickson, who wears her competition gear, in her body posture and intense gaze."

- See more at: http://www.magazine.org/asme/magazine-cover-contest/past-winners-finalists/2014-winners-finalists#sthash.3VGzBjf5.dpuf

This is me favorite cover because The design is really simple and looks clean and beautiful,The photograph stands out, The colors are vivid and look good together, including the background. One of the most interesting thing is the composition, it is really simple but it is really interesting at the same time. the photo is really symmetrical, the faces, the clothes…it looks almost the same. The lighting is again simple but it works.

Magazine tips

5 things I should be thinking about while designing my magazine cover:

• fast and easy to scan
• smart and interesting
•  Emotionally irresistible
• Worth the investment of money and time 

Monday, November 10, 2014 American Soldier slide show and captions (review)

This is one of the most powerful photos of the slide show because it demonstrates how much the family loves him. 

C. How do the images work together to tell a story?

I think that most of the pictures are good but they are not as strong as them  working together .

A. For the photos in which Ian is the main subject of the photos, in what tense are the verbs usually written? 

We can find every single emotion from sadness to happiness. We can see when he decides to join the army, when he says goodbye to all his friend and family, when he comes back...

Present Tense: John jumps down the stairs

B. How do the captions enhance the photographs?

The captions are an explanation of the photo, it helps us understand the picture better.

Self Portrait and Portraits Part I

 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.

 Experiment with Lighting

Another element of randomness that you can introduce to your portraits is the way that you light them. There are almost unlimited possibilities when it comes to using light in portraits.

Experiment with Subject Expressions

In some portraits it is the expression on the face of your subject that makes the image.

Get your subject to experiment with different moods and emotions in your image. Play with extreme emotions

Environmental portrait: I really like the light and the posture of both of them.

 photography self portrait: i love how original they are and in the first one i love the funny feeling. The second one is just beautiful.

casual portrait: The first picture is beautiful. it is so natural and the mood of the picture is so clear. In the second The angle makes it look so much more interesting.

Aperture, shutter speed and ISO - how do they all work?

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?
eye pupil
2. Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture the higher the number, the higher the Aperture The smaller the number.
3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?
a larger aperture means the background more focused and a smaller aperture means the object will be sharp and the background blurry.

1. If you were assigned to shoot at Bulldogs and Hotdogs night, which was a few months ago, what shutter speeds do you think you would have to shoot at the following events that night I would like you to answer the question for the following two situations:

At the beginning while the sun was still up and the courtyard had reasonable good light

a. low
b.) low
c.) high
d.) high
e.) high
f.) high

Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.

a.) slow

b.) slow

c.) high

d.high

e.)slow

f.)slow

2.setting the camera to shutter priority
or going to manual

1. What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game?

it is  faster.
2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?

only use it when there  is plenty of light
3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?

use it when there is not much light and when there is movement.

1. What emotions did you feel as you worked your way through these images?

I love how theres some photos that make me really sad and others that make me feel extremely happy.

2. The photographer said this: "These photographs do not define us, but they are us." What do you think about this comment now that you have looked at the photos?
 I think he was saying that even though this photos are important  they don't represent their relationship.

3. Do you think you could shoot photos like this if you were in this situation?
yes, I would take pictures of this. It is sad but she is still alive.
4. If you could write Angelo a letter, what would you say to him?
I would say that he is a beautiful and optimistic person.

Nick brandt is a photographer who work sin africa with the animals. He spends a huge amount of hours waiting for the animals to get closer. He loves working with the wildlife of africa

I love this photo. I like how you are transported to another completely different place. It is not how you picture Africa even though is obvious. Some rules of photography are lines in the zebras ,symmetry and simplicity.

5. What kind of camera and lens does he use and why is this important?
he doesn't use anything to zoom in the animals, he uses normal lenses and waits to the animals to get closer to him.
6. What is his reason for taking these photos?
7. What is his hope by taking these type of photos?
8. Find something he has to say about Africa, and post the quote on your blog. 

He just loves doing it. he connects with every animal and landscape.
he i interested in  showing the animals simply in the state of being
' There is something profoundly iconic, mythological even, about the animals of East and southern Africa.' -Nick Brandt

Great Black and White Photographers part 3

1.) What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them? Post the images with your writing.
There is many things I love about the photos. both of them are really interesting. They really make me wonder about the story behind them.

I smell the fresh air of the forest, touching my skin

I hear the people

I taste the pain 

I feel the cold wind 

I smell the smoke

I hear the explosion

I taste the good and bad of this picture

I feel confused about it.

instagram meets the street.

1. What theme that we could take here at school could we do a series of these panels to place around the school?

 a theme that we could take here at school is sports.

2. Should we use phones only, or should we open it up to our regular cameras for those people that don't have camera phones?

I think we should use phones only because the photos are not going to look good together. The difference in quality is huge and one of the strongest things about the projects is using instagram filters. 
3. Where would you want to put the mural on campus?


 it depend on the theme of the photos.

http://hannahsphotojournalismblog.blogspot.com


I really like the simplicity picture because the subject is clear and there is nothing districting us in the background.
The other photo I like is the leading lines picture because there is lines all over the picture making it really interesting.
The only one that didn't work as well for me is the framing picture. I don't really see the frame.

What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you?  sometimes it was hard to find an interesting subject and apply the rules.

i was thinking about finding a good subject, focusing and following all the photography rules.

2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.

This time we applied  some rules and my photos look much better that the last time.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?

Trying to find new subjects

4. What things would you do the same?

i think simplicity and rule of thirds will be the easiest to achieve.

5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve?

balance and lines will be the hardest to achieve

6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?

7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?

i understand all the rules pretty good. You can search in google to figure out them

academic shoot

simplicity

The subject in this photo is the two girls drawing something. The background is clear and nice so is recognize the subject. I followed the rule pretty well.

balance

.

in this picture the subject, the girl  is in the middle and the sides of the picture are balanced. in this one is also really easy to recognize the subject. This turned out pretty good and I followed the rule.

 lines

in this photo the lines of the flag  are leading us to the boy. The subject is not that easy to recognize in this photo. the colors in the flag, the person in the background and the distracting colors of the closet make this subject harder to recognize. 

 rule of thirds

tin this picture the girl is located in the side of the photo and we can clearly see that she is working in class. This turned out really different than I expected. the girl was moving and working on her project so the hand is blurred out. in my opinion the subject is clear but maybe not as it should be.

framing

in this photo the microscope is acting as a frame. The girl was supposed to be the subject  but in the picture is really blurry. So the subject is not as clear as it should be. But i followed the rule an that turned out good.
