1. Image Based Image based covers are the most common and usually have a group of people or just one person. In a lot of celebrity, fashion, and men’s magazines, they have people looking at the camera and smiling. Also, some magazines have models looking away, tilt the camera, not smiling, etc. Travel magazines will have a landscape on it. A food magazine will have a meal for the cover. The photo has to tie with what the magazine is about. 2. Illustration Based Illustration based covers used to be the only way to have a picture on the magazine. Now they are used to portray something odd or funny. Magazine companies that do use this don’t need to sell their magazines on newsstands. Now magazine companies make their illustrations on computers. A magazine company that still uses illustrated magazine covers is The New Yorker. 3. Type Based Type based covers are seen more than illustrated covers but are rare to see. They also seem to have more impact than the other covers. It can als

Readers' Choice Winner Patrick Demarchelier, Photographer "The beauty and fashion industries have been too white for too long. By celebrating a range of underrepresented skin tones on our cover, it was our hope to move the needle in the beauty world, to redefine what beauty means. It’s vital to acknowledge that there is no one definition of beauty—and here at Allure, we are overdue. The response was overwhelming: both long-time readers and women who had never connected with Allure before told us how much our April issue meant to them. The needle, in a meaningful way, had moved." In the cover you see 3 women of color going from lighter to darker skin tones. What is communicated about the people is that no matter what color you are, you are beautiful. Also that most of the models are white so the cover stands out to people. This is communicated by having models that aren't white and are different tones of color. They are all lined up and the lighting make

 5 things you should be thinking about when you design your magazine cover: 1. Is it interesting? 2. Is the image appealing? 3. Is it worth investing money and time? 4. Is it efficient, fast, and easy to scan? 5. Does it pull in the reader?

 What I like about this photo is the lighting of the sun and how it's a soft, not super blinding bright and not dark like night. I picked this photo because it makes me feel like sitting down, relaxing, and watching the sun set. What I like about this photo is how the 2 people are having fun outside with their instruments. I picked this photo because it was cropped and didn't have the extra objects in the photo. For this assignment, I will take a picture of my family lounging in the red adirondack chairs, laughing and chilling, in my backyard. I will have the shutter speed on a higher number so I can freeze the moment of all of them laughing. The f-stop will be at a smaller number so it can take in the light coming from the lights in the trees. It will be night in the picture and the outdoor lights that are hanging in the trees will be on. I was originally thinking of having the sun setting but a lot of people take pictures with the sun setting. The composit

 What I like about this photo is that there are shoes but no one is in them. When you look in the water there is someone standing there where the person should be. I picked this photo because it's so creative and makes me think there's another dimension in the water. What I like about this photo is how at first the photo looks so complicated to reenact but when you look at the photo carefully, you can see that they are just using 2 mirrors to create the effect. I picked this photo because there is so much depth in this photo. For this assignment, someone will be taking a picture of me smiling at a broken mirror and reflecting at me is me frowning. The person will be at an angle where you can see my sad and happy face but not the photographer and, it will be taken at my house. For this, I'm using an old mirror, breaking the surface into big chunk and not tiny pieces ,so you can see my face. To me this photo means that you can fool everyone that you're ok

 What I really like about this photo is that the photographer used the rule of thirds composition and most of the light is coming from the neon sign. I picked this photo because it's not a huge deal, it's just a regular guy enjoying his Chinese food dinner at night looking outside. What I liked about this photo was the fire the people were holding and how subtle the lines to the right of the photo were. I picked this photo because it looks like a bunch of people celebrating a holiday with cool events. For this assignment, I would want to take a photo of my dog playing frisbee in the backyard. Composition I would use is rule of thirds. To make the shot successful, I would ask my family to throw the frisbee multiple times in the air so I can take a lot of shots. I would also take the shots from eye level and on the ground to see which looks better. I would also make the shutter speed a higher number.

3 Best Tips For Taking Amazing Portraits: 1. Experiment With Lighting There are almost unlimited possibilities when it comes to using light in portraits. Side-lighting can create mood, back lighting and silhouetting your subject to hide their features can be powerful. 2. Take Unfocused Shots As photographers we have ‘sharp focus’ drummed into us as an ultimate objective to achieve in our work – but sometimes lack of focus can create shots with real emotion, mood and interest. 3. Hold Your Camera At An Angle This type of framing can add a sense of fun and energy into your shots. Just don’t ‘slightly’ do it or you’ll have people asking themselves if you might have mistakenly held your camera crooked.

Why or why not? It's not ethically acceptable because the photo doesn't tell the truth about the situation. 5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation

What did you read about the photo and use about 2-3 sentences explaining the photo. The 2 men holding up their fist are American sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos. Dominis quickly zoomed in on them and took the shot. Smith and Carlos wanted to show that everything wasn't alright. You can see how Smith took off his shoes showing off black socks. You can also see that Smith is holding a box that we don't know what's in it. 3. Every photo has some additional information, links, readings, or videos associated.
