Magazines Part 2

Blog #4- Magazines Part 2

Main attributions:

1. Early Magazine covers were mainly illustrated since it was the only way to create magazine covers.  Most magazines covers stayed this way until 1925. These made the magazines very unique since no other magazine had the same image. Type based covers were also around even though they are rare and usually present shocking news.

2.  The Poster Cover showcases a main image and usually is what grabs the readers attention. This is the most common approach that most magazine publishers use. Magazines with people such as celebrities on the front cover tend to sell more. There are many different ways to use this type, for example having the model look away or look directly at the camera, or have a certain face expression to show the views of the magazine on the subject they are covering.

3. Pictures married to type shows both what the magazine is going to be talking about but also showcases a main image. For example, it may have a photo of a model but there are words around her on maybe on her that are talking about the subject of the magazine.

4. In the forest of words is a rare type of cover that uses only words on the cover and no image. This is usually used when there is a subject that is very strong on its own and does not require an image to hook the reader. These types of covers are powerful in how the type is presented. There can be a beauty in the type letting it be strong on it's own.

Academic shoot

Image
1. Avoid mergers 2. The subject of my photo is the two boys in the back writing and the boy scratching his head. the merger is the blonde boy in the bottom of the photo. 3.I think it is fairly clear that the 3 boys are the main subject with the blond boy as the merger. 4. If people couldn't easily tell I could have gotten closer to the boys and maybe have made my subject smaller and done 2 boys instead of 3. (and a half) 1. Rule of thirds 2.The subject of my photo is the girl reading her book 3. It is pretty clear whom my subject is since she is what the photo mainly focuses on. 4. If it isn't clear, I should have gotten closer to her and crop out the boy on the far left. 1. Simplicity 2. The subject of my photo is the piece of art. 3. I think it is pretty clear since the main thing in focus is the drawing. 4. If it isn't clear I should have used a high aperture setting to blur out everything except for my main subject. 1.balance 2. The subject of m...

Academic shoot reflection and critique

1. Some of the challenges I faced while trying to follow the rules during the shoot was, that it was hard to find all of the rules. I thought it would be easy but it was actually kind of hard to find some of them. Not only that but as a photographer, i personally like more of a clear background but you can't do that with academic shoots since their are people everywhere! Lastly, their was not the best lighting since it was in a classroom. 2. I thought the most about the rules since that was what we were out there to do. I also focused on flipping the camera horizontal for some photos that I needed a closer and more full- body picture for. 3. If I could do the shoot again, I would try to get closer to some of the "subjects" to make sure it focuses only on the things I wanted in the photo. 4. I would keep my balance photo, my lines photo, and the simplicity picture. These are my favorite photos since I feel that they are good examples of the rule. 5. I think that the ne...

The Camera

                                                                The Camera                 1. The "camera obscura" effect is an optical effect which inside a completely dark room, a small hole is made. Through the hole, light is focused and the optical effect is projected upside down on the opposite wall. 2. When Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding go optics which helped getting to the modern camera. 3. In 1827, Joseph Niépce added film which pretty much created the modern camera. 4. Modern Cameras still use film and has the same basics except Niépce camera took over 8 hours to expose. 5. digital cameras use electronic sensors called a CCD. to capture a photo. The photographs are stored on the reusable computer memory.           ...
