magazine notes

1. Early Magazine Covers
No photo just paintings and drawings. Big blod areas of color no date line price or bar code.  Some topis tended to be church related...

2. The Poster Cover
A big picture with small words, saying specifically about the picture.  really good pictures will make people want to buy it. No bar codes on some of the magazines.


3. Pictures Married To Type
 Less Words, most words are located on the side of the magazine, texts relate to the picture. Pictures can be boring!!!!!
4. In the forrest of words- Lots of words, different sizes, and all over the place.  The words makes it distracting.



Stuff that should be on my cover.

Magazine cover and catch up

  • one thing i should be looking for in my magazine cover is no matter what you put on the cover, keep the six functions of covers in mind
  • don't judge your cover on screen
  • how to judge your cover on screen
  • make the cover mysterious/curious so you could grab the viewers attention
  • and lastly avoid a weak cover

Portrait and self-portrait tips and ideas

Think about your motivation and emotions: Blankly staring at the camera rarely gets good results. Be silly, don’t be afraid to over-act. The worst that can happen is that you fill up your memory card with useless photos; but you might also find yourself with a proper gold-nugget of a self portrait. 

Use a tripod. Seriously. While it’s possible to get good photos while you’re hanging on to your camera at arms-length, it’s a lot easier if you’ve got the freedom to move around a bit

I like this photo because it looks like the man is standing on water so it looks cool to me. But the water is shallow so hes really not standing on water.


I like this picture because it shows a man standing by his self  next to the twin towers in new york city..

i like this photography self portrait because it shows a man listening to music.

I like this self portrait because you cant see his body and u just see his head and hand so this looks cool.

I chose this casual portrait because this man looks funny!


 
I chose this casual photo cause this guy is laughing and he look like a hillbilly. Lol








My plan to make a self portrait is for my partner to take a Picture of me. It will be shot in the Middle of the hallway in the green hall.  It will be successful because i will make sure the camera is in focus or i will make sure my partner know its in focus.

I like this pic because its about the NBA and i love the NBA but i hate the lakers so this picture isnt all that to me.

I like this image because it looks cool and it show the building getting struck by lighting.
