Magazine Cover Preview

Masthead- The title of a newspaper or magazine at the head of the front or editorial page.

Selling line- Short, sharp description of the title's main marketing point.

Dateline- Month and year of publication, often with the price. Note that a monthly magazine usually hits the newsstands the month before the cover date.

Main image-  In case of this front cover there is a single image of the model Shania. The image is used in a classic way, the face is big enough to stand out on the newsstand, with the model maing full-eye contact.

Model credit- This says: 'Shania: So hot.' It us unusual for such a credit to appear on a magazine front cover, but it is done sometimes on fashion magazines.

Cover lines- Short statements found on the cover of the magazine that allude to or describe the articles inside. Their purpose is to entice the reader into picking up and/or buying the magazine.

Coverline- Is a visual tool to help you easily see your pre- and post-ovulation temperatures.

Main cover line- It promotes the use of naked male centerfolds, a feature of Cosmopolitian in the UK since its first issue.

Left third- The left third of the magazine cover is vital for sales in shops where the magazine is not full frontage.

This ESPN The Magazine cover portrays Michael Jordan jumping against an all-white background in his Chicago Bulls uniform. Two weeks after winning his sixth title with the Bulls, the corresponding article speculates whether or not Jordan will retire from basketball. Jordan retired on January 13, 1999, but two years later signed a deal to play for the Washington Wizards. On April 16, 2003, Jordan played his last game and announced his final retirement. - See more at: http://www.magazine.org/asme/magazine-cover-contests/asmes-top-40-magazine-covers-last-40-years#sthash.GO8GA3En.dpuf

Well this is one of my favorite photos because of curse it's Rihanna, I mean you can't go wrong with her also it has something in common wit the rule of thirds. Rihanna is aligned on the left side of this photo. 
 This photo of Kanye is priceless honestly. Why? Good question, it's because this far right here is his face every single day if you haven't noticed every photo that he takes. Also the quality of the photo is like so HD.
And finally my favorite photo of the year is when Taylor Swift fell in front of Kim and Kanye. Like look at both of their faces. Their just like "um? Tay what you doing!?".

MY FAVORITE PHOTO OF 2015
This has to be my favorite photo of 2015 because it's my idol Kobe Bryant and the reason why I chose this is because it shows him bringing the ball up the court and smiling usually Kobe has a mug on his face when he brings it up but this is different. I think it's because it's his year to retire mate. 

2. The things that attracted me to this photo is one his shoes, his shooting sleeve.

Kobe Bryant because he announced that he was retiring this year and after he said everybody was honesty in shock (Kobe Bryant Fans).

1. My holiday hopes are my family coming together again and doing a lot better in school and making variety basketball as a sophomore.

2. Drinking less spites, doing more around the house, and most of all getting good grades and keeping up with my work.

Photo Composition Part 2/Portrait Photography Preview

PART 2
Symmetry and Pattern- Great way to use them is to break the symmetry or pattern in some way, introducing tension and focal point to the scene.
 



Viewpoint- Consider photographing from high above, down at ground level, from the side, from the back, from a long way away, from very close up, and so on.



Create Depth- By including objects in the foreground, middle ground and background.



Cropping (filling the frame)- The subject you eliminate the background "noise", ensuring gets the viewer's undivided attention.
Simplicity- Ways to give the center of interest in your pictures the most visual attention
The Rule of Thirds- You can use the rule of thirds as a guide in the off-center placement of your subjects.

This photo shows lines because of the football fields yard lines.

This photo shows balance because the patriots are close together in a huddle. 

This photo shows framing because it has Gronkowski's jersey in a photo farm with some of pictures.

This photo shows avoiding merger because it shows their jersey's merging together.



Portrait Photography Preview

1. It's important because in the portrait it offers enormous potential to extend or enhance the communication.  The environments pays a major role un revealing the identity of the individual. 

2. Where more information is required about the physical surroundings and environment, it's recommended to use their camera in either fully manual or aperture priority mode so that maximum control is maintained. 

3.  By the environments and lighting may be chosen to reflect the mood or state of mind of the subject. The path travelled could be purely coincidental or could have been chosen to represent the journey of his life.

4.  The photographer should clarify that the subject does have time for the photograph to be made and indicate that it may involve more than one image being created. Also the subject may need guidance on how to sit or stand, what they should do with their hands and where to look. 


Environmental portrait
I like that the photo is taken through the net and I picked it because it looked interesting.

I like how the sun creates a small glare in the photo and I chose this photo because I thought it was eye popping.

Casual Portrait
Reason why I chose this causal photo is because I like the polo he has on and the background seems very casual as well.






















Planning ahead
Justen and I may go to the courtyard, New Tech hallway or the Green hallway to take our portraits. We both haven't decided yet but were going to experiment at all the locations and see which location looks better. Poop

Three Pillars of Photography

Aperture- 
1.What part of the body should we closely relate aperture? The Eye

2.The smaller the aperture number, the bigger the aperture opening.

3. A small aperture number will make all background and foreground objects into focus, and a larger aperture will make the background blurry.

4.  4, 4.5, 5, 5.6, 6.3, 7.1, 8.0, 9.0, 10, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25

2.  Aperture Priority mode- set lens aperture with shutter speed is set my camera. 
Shutter Priority mode- you set the shutter speed while camera selects aperture.
Manual mode- Where you set both shutter speed and aperture manually.


3. (1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/13, 1/15, 1/20, 1/25, 1/30, 1/40, 1/50, 1/60, 1/80, 1/100, 1/125, 1/160, 1/200, 1/250, 1/320, 1/400, 1/500, 1/640, 1/800, 1/1000, 1/1250, 1/1600, 1/2000, 1/2500, 1/3200, 1/4000.)

ISO
1.  While a higher ISO number increases the sensitivity. With increased sensitivity, your camera sensor can capture images in low-light environments without having to use a flash.

2.  It's to retain the most detail and to have the highest image quality. 

3. When there is not enough light 

4. 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12800
