Magazine Preview Assignment

1) Five things to think about when designing a magazine cover is does it have benefits, is it interesting enough that a walk by glancer will catch their eye on it, does it have good image appeal, is it easy to quickly view and still be efficient, and is it worth the investment for the buyer.

Favorite

I chose this photo as my favorite because this one was the most eye appealing to me. I might be bias though because I like cats so much. But, it is a super cute picture that can attract views from because who doesn't like looking at pictures of cats, right? I think the pumpkin it's sitting in is a little bit scary and I have never heard of the brand before but it all depends on the person buying or viewing the cover I guess. I think it has really good subtitles that is really attracting the viewer (At least from what I can read)

Image Based magazine consists of one or more people on the cover. Many ways are these people being interpreted. Sometimes their smiling, or frowning, looking at the camera, or not looking at the camera.

Illustration based magazines are not that common anymore but when you see them they are usually showing something funny or out of the ordinary. These types of magazines don't always rely on newsstand sells and sometimes they use computer generated images.

Type Based are also rare, but more common than illustration, although they have been making a comeback that last couple of years. These magazine covers use powerful fonts to portray their message and it is very effective sometimes.

Concept Based is a mix of all three concepts above and it is rare. They must be instantly understandable and funny to the audience.

Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO

F2.8 F16+ A1. We closely relate aperture to the pupil (in our eye) A2. The smaller aperture will create a larger f-stop, the higher aperture will create a smaller f-stop A3. Aperture affects depth of field. Depth of field is the subject or what's in focus in the photograph. The aperture has a direct affect on the depth of field, the higher aperture number, the more focus the foreground will be in, the lower the aperture number, the more blurred the foreground will be. Low shutter speed High shutter speed Daylight Photo's: a) slow shutter speed because no motion is taking place b)Probably a medium- slow shutter speed because there could be little motion c)Probably a medium- high shutter speed because the stars are moving quickly but in light d)Again, a medium- high shutter speed because they may not be moving as quick as the stars, but are moving somewhat fast and are in daylight e)Around a medium shutter speed because no one is running in and n...

Abandoned theme parks

1) I would want to visit Six Flags, New Orleans, USA because there are six flags everywhere. And to think theres an abandoned one, that's featured on a website for most creepy, not to mention in America. That's pretty cool to me and would be fun to go visit and take pictures. 2) 3) Five unusual places to visit that I think would be fun to go to are abandoned towns, asylum's, school's, buildings, and churches. 4) this is an abandoned mental institution in Bristol. 5) I would want to document this place because I think it would make people feel something. Obviously creeped out or something like that but I bet I could find some really interesting things to photograph in there. 6) I would most likely need to fly somewhere, and I don't think I would need a really high end camera but just like the ones we use in class and maybe a tripod. I would also need to make sure no one owns the property so I would not be trespassing.

Academic Shoot

1. Balance 2. Color wheel page being colored 3. It is clear to me, other people might have a different eye and focus on the girl coloring, or the girl in the upper left corner, or the books stacked in the background. You never know 1. Avoiding merger's 2. Working students 3. Yes it is clear 1. Simplicity 2. Phone loading 3. Again, it is clear to me, but someone could easily look at the girl holding the phone, school supplies or people in the background
