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."

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.

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.
