Magazine Cover Types

Cover Types: 1. Early Magazine Covers.

 2. The Poster Cover
Very few texts, The picture is the most dominant piece,  very apeiling.  In general they would have a page number that you would go to. In a poster cover magazine it must be a cool photo, or something that everybody knows. Disadvantages of poster cover could be boring, doesnt tell you whats inside the magazine.
3. Pictures Married to Type
Characteristics of this cover is that the words dont cover up important parts of the photo. The words relate to the picture of the cover, and they tell us what we see in the magazine. Work together  and help each other out.  Disadvantages is it may not be apeiling to the rest of the inside magazine(mases)
4. In The Forest of Words
Lots of words organized in headline style and sub headlines. Healines are smaller. Different Fonts. 1 mager photo, and smaller photo. The picture is not the most important element. It has multiple sets of entry. Disadvantages. Two major disadvantages and takes away the photo.



 Stuff That Should be on my Magazine Cover.
Titles, photos, bar code, date, price.

1.Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That’s part of the point, after all.

Predictin Relationships Within The Frame
A great deal of people photography is understanding human nature and being aware of how people usually react in given situations. If someone is sitting in a café he will usually look up when the waiter approaches. People will generally smile when they see a baby or open a present. Crowds rise when a batter smashes a ball that looks like it's headed for the seats. Think about the situation you are photographing and how people are likely to act in it. Then prepare yourself for the moment.

You can create an especially revealing self-portrait by adding personal memorabilia surrounding your mirrored image, such as photos of yourself at various stages of your life, or anything that tells the viewer about your interests. Besides a mirror, a window can sometimes offer a reflective surface for you to capture your own image.

I liked this picture because it has a lake of cranberry juicy. Its uses the rule of thirds. The sky looks cool. The whole picture is focused.

 This is another cool picture since it looks good, theres nobody in the booths or around the subject except his coffee and merchandise. With a serious look.

This is a cool picture cause its a self portrait and its famous. It is the mona lisa.

I thought this was a cool self portrait because of the way his hair looks. It looks
really good in this photo.


I plan on taking portraits of me first, then moving on to my friend Israel Cruz. We will be taking these portraits at Akins highschool. We will take good pictures, good expressions, etc.

I liked this picture because i thought it was a good picture, on how alot of people dont have enough money to get where they want. So they are willing to sit on a dangerous spot like this woman.









This is a cool picture that i liked cause its a car flying in the air. Going fast.











This was also a cool picture. Because it shows a human skeleton in the middle of a building which is cool.










Grape by young jeezy,cause it had a cool beat and lyrics.















Toy story 3

The most important event of the year was the bp oil spill in the gulf of mexico, it caused so many problems.
