Magazine Tips

When you design your magazine cover you have to be thinking about:
     Everything has to blend together, it has to make sense, the simplicity stands out.

 Familiar recognition from issue to issue (that’s the brand)
 Emotionally irresistible (that’s the image’s appeal)
Arousing curiosity (that’s to pull the casual glancer in)
Intellectually stimulating, interesting (that’s to promise benefits)
Efficient, fast, easy to scan (that’s showing off the service)
Worth the investment of money and time (that’s the “What’s in it for me?”) show them what it is about, make them interested on what you are telling or showing.

9/11 Revisited

 The photograph that I picked for the rule of lines is the man jumping from the building and the background is the building and it has lines.  The rule of simplicity is the man covering his face with a towel or with something for him not to breath in the smoke and just live. I can tell that's what he's doing because their is nothing else in the photograph that indicates otherwise. The rule of framing is the firefighter going on the ladder and there's like nothing else in it but it's framing the firefighter out of everything else. The rule of balance is the building getting hit.  I choose this photo to show that the building is the main thing that is happening and the main thing that pops out. The rule of thirds is another photo of the building getting hit but it's in a different angle and it's the rule of thirds composition. The rule if Avoiding Merges is the firefighter trying to go up the stairs to go help people. I actually don't know why I chos...

Portraits

Tips "One way is to frame an interesting composition and then, with your compact camera mounted on a tripod or another means of support, use the self-timer (if your camera has one) to trip the shutter after you get into position in front of the lens." "Focus upon one element of the image and leave your main subject blurred. To do this use a large aperture which will create a narrow depth of field and focus upon something in front of or behind your subject. Environmental This photo shows that this girl really likes swimming and that's maybe what she is doing later in her life. I like this photo because you can see the pool and she has a swimsuit on and she does look like she enjoys swimming. The picture shows that this woman loves painting, maybe she has been doing it for a long time. I like it because it shows what she likes to do and she likes where she's at. Casual     I like this because the baby isn't crying, he's...
