Magazine Cover Styles!

Cover types:

1. Early magazine covers- always have drawing on them never photo's, they were very simple drawings they have moral themes to them, they often had a religious theme to them. They are pretty simple and boring.

2. The poster covers- It covers the whole thing and has very small set of words on there. The picture tend to be more visually appealing. The disadvantage is the picture covers can be boring. Its hard to know whats in the magazine based on the picture. if you don't have a good picture people aren't gonna pick up your magazine.

3. Pictures married to type- The picture go together and match the theme, they compliment each other( words and the picture).tells you whats going on in the photo and tells you what is going on in the magazine. Tells about to people on the cover they always go together. Some disadvantages are they could find this magazine boring, less point of entry means less buyers. Boring colors and boring picture aren't the best. it should be visually appealing. Need good color.

4.In the forest of words- There is a lot of words on the cover, like the words are bold and non bold words, they are very colorful, and have different fonts along with different sizes. We see lots of text on the picture that covers up the picture.Lots of points of entry or entry points, the means to get you to pay lots of money for the magazine. the text over laps and covers up the photo that could be a negative you lose impact of your picture. Sometimes there is to much stuff going on.

Stuff every magazine cover has- The title of the magazine, along with some sort of art or picture, a date, and a bar code.

 The Dixie Chicks appear naked on this magazine cover of Entertainment Weekly with slogans such as Boycott, Traitors, Hero and Proud Americans printed on their bodies. Two months before, member Natalie Maines criticized the impending invasion of Iraq by President George Bush at a concert in London. This remark sparked intense criticism from many Americans who subsequently boycotted The Dixie Chicks music and concerts. In their interview with Entertainment Weekly, the group discussed their reaction to the criticism and what lies ahead for them in the country music industry.

Magazine Cover And Catch Up!

Tell me 5 things you should be thinking about when you design your magazine cover. 

1. Familiar recognition from issue to issue (that’s the brand)

2. Emotionally irresistible (that’s the image’s appeal)

3. Arousing curiosity (that’s to pull the casual glancer in)

4. Intellectually stimulating, interesting (that’s to promise benefits)

5. Efficient, fast, easy to scan (that’s showing off the service)

Portrait And Self-portrait Tips And Ideas!

Tips:

1) Don't be shy. If you approach people in the right way, they'll usually be happy to have their picture made. It's up to you to break the ice and get them to cooperate. Joke around with them.

2)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.

3) Use a mirror! It seems so obvious, but how to use mirrors is important, too – take it down from the wall, and experiment! 

 

Environmental portrait: 

 I like this portrait because i like the emotion in the guys face you can tel how he is felling and how he isn't the happiest guy in the word. Also to help his emotion and why he probably feels this way is his bed in the background and just by his surroundings. This picture is the environment he is living in.

I really like this portrait because its like they are taking the picture in the mirror which is a good tip they can use. Also they are small little kids trying to take pictures which makes it funny in a cute way. They are kinda like grown ups and you know that's how they feel.

 

Photography self-portrait:

I love this portrait because one day i saw that my mom had took a picture like this and to me it looks so cool that you can see the girls face in the mirror but the picture is taken from behind her i love it. Also the facial expression she has on her face makes it even better.

I love this picture because it was taken in a very odd place which makes it even better. I love the facial expression she has on her face its kinda looks like that looks like she has no clue where she is at and i love it. Also i love how she isn't looking at the camera i think it makes this photo better.

Casual Portrait:

I like this picture because its just a little girl that is just experiencing new things and i love how it was by a mirror and you can see her in the mirror as well.

I like this picture because in it the girl is just really natural no make up she isn't trying to model for anyone she is just being herself by letting these people take the photo of her. Its just really natural and i like it.

Plan:

I will shoot Kimberly in this photography shoot. To make this shoot successful i will make sure there isn't much distracting from her and by making sure everything is in focus. Where will i shoot hum im not sure maybe in the courtyard if it is light outside because good lighting on the person is always good or maybe ill take pictures of her up stairs and me down stairs or the other way around im not exactly sure yet.

Welcome Back Assighment!

This is one of my favorite pictures because it looks so real and it shows the you don't always have to look perfect and when you catch people off guard or doing something that involves action it makes the pictures ten times better!

I like this picture because i like it when pictures are in black and white with the kind of alone look i think it goes very well together. Also i like that there isn't that many people in in it and the water makes it look good to!

I like this picture because Ive never seen underwater look so cool before i love how there is different shades of the water as well along with...man i just love the way this picture looks its different.
