Magazine part 2

1. The attributes of the Early Magazine Covers is sayings in the pictures like in the third picture, the pillars by the fountain might symbolize that the Mother's are tall and the vines might simplify that they are strong and united.

2. In the Pictures That Need No Words, the pictures tell us a story or like a current event that is going on like in the 2nd picture cover. There is a man with a man and he is holding the american flag while riding a horse. So that tells us that the topic of the newspaper is what is going on in the war life.

3. Picture Married to Type: The font and words found and also the people or subjects on the cover are seen trying to tell the reader a story about what's sen inside the magazine. For example, in the 3rd cover, you can see that the C in the title of the newspaper is bigger than the rest. Another thing is where the people are seen; in this photo the people are seen on a beach and seem relaxed.

4. In the Forest of Words: The images are very upfront and there are a lot of words on the front explaining the subject(s) on the cover. For instance, the second magazine cover, there are two girls on a beach. There are words like Sex, War and Dinosaurs, which explain what the viewer will see inside.

Fashion Photography

1. They changed her facial features from jaw bone and made her eyes bigger and made her neck taller.
2. They changed her skin tone lighter and made her breast smaller. They made her look taller as well. They also made her eyes bigger and her nose and lips smaller.
3. The person was basically made from big to skinny. They made her legs skinnier and and her breasts bigger. They changed her whole being. They her more acceptable to society.

4. I think it's not acceptable because people should be accepted for who they really are and not what some guy behind a computer makes them.

5. It would be more ethically wrong if the people are doing for advertisements and like beauty care.

6. I think none are ok unless it is used for fun and just joking around. People actually believe that looking like that is possible just by doing a certain thing. The people that are being photoshopped look fake.

7. In fashion photography there are people being transformed and look fake to make someone feel bad about themselves and want to do something about it. In photojournalism, photos are taken to make things look good but not fake and make believe.

8. They both make people to be that or go there. It changes people's views of the world and gives them a wrong interpretation of the world.

9.  To show what photojournalism isn't and what the other side of photojournalism is.

10. The reason I think is because girls treat themselves in a bad way and critique themselves more then boys. Also boys don't need makeup so all they need to do is stand in front of camera and give them nice hair and a six pack.

My Favorite Cover




Photographer: Martin Schoeller
Designer: Arem Duplessis
"For this cover story on the U.S. women’s ski-jumping team, we featured the Olympic hopeful Sarah Hendrickson as photographed by Martin Schoeller. Schoeller captures the competitive spirit of Hendrickson, who wears her competition gear, in her body posture and intense gaze."

There are certain things that made me chose this picture for my favorite cover. First of all there is such simplicity in the chile cover. All that the magazine is talking about is Sarah Hendrickson and how close she was to winning the gold medal. The color in the photo is so precise and again really simple. 
I like how the girl is made not to smile because it adds to the seriousness of the mood set in the photo.The level of her eyebrows and how one is going up while one stays the same. The main reason I chose this picture is because I like simplicity and how serious photos an be. Lastly, I liked the way her goggles and her vest and also her black helmet match. I also like how the photographers chose to put a gray background to bring out the color of her face and her suit she is wearing.

American Soldier Slide Show

A. The most powerful image from the slideshows would be where his mom is crying when his platoon is coming into the gym with patriotic music.

B. Set #1 At home in Denver - image 1 through image 9
     Set #2 At Basic Training - image 10 through image 50
     Set #3 In Iraq - image 51 through image 70
     Set #4 Back in Denver - image 71 through image 82


C. The set of images that were the most powerful are images 10 through image 50. The reason is because it is him going through the basic training and just how his life is being affected through the process.

a. all of the images work together by placing the photos in numerical order and tell the story pretty precise in a timely manner.

3.

A. The verbs are in present tense.

B. The captions enhance the photographs by telling the stories an what is particularly happening in the photo and tells the viewer what was going on during the time of the picture.

4.

A. 

1.As the team of four men line up to get ready to take over a house as practice to learn the procedures of taking down. Ian leads the group, instruction them on what to do.

2. Moving up in the ranks, Ian gets fitted for his new class uniform. The millions of suits in background fade out as they keep going.

3. Ian checks his form, which is very key when it comes to saluting. His fellow soldiers look straight ahead, confident on their form.
