Notes Of type of Magazines.

Cover Types
1. Early Magazine Covers- No Photo, Just Drawings, Big Areas Of Colors, No Dateline And no Price line, Pretty Simple, Topics were church related or good and evil and etc.

2. The Poster Cover- A Picture and Small words, Words talk Specifically about photo, Better be a really good photo.

3. Pictures Married to type- Less Words, Words to one side, Text Involved to the Photo, Close to the Photo.
Disadvantages:
Can be a little Boring, Not as many Interest points.

4. In the Forest of Words- A bunch of words, Different Fonts, Different Subjects, Different colors, Different Sizes, All Over the place.

Distracting and cant see the full photograph.

Stuff that should be in my Magazine Cover:

Magazine cover and catch up

Read the 2 page article about magazine cover design. The second page is much more important than the first page. On your blog tell me 5 things you should be thinking about when you design your magazine cover.

No matter what you put on the cover, keep the six functions of covers in mind:
1. Familiar recognition from issue to issue (that’s the brand)

2. Emotionally irresistible (that’s the image’s appeal)

3. Arousing curiosity (that’s to pull the casual glancer in)

4. Intellectually stimulating, interesting (that’s to promise benefits)

5. Efficient, fast, easy to scan (that’s showing off the service)

Portrait and self-portrait tips and ideas

  • After looking at these, find what you think are the best 2 or 3 tips and copy and paste them into a new post on your blog.
  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. 
  2. Use props! Are you a dad and a rocker? Bring your kid and your guitar. Are you a photographer? Add camera gear. Painter? Paint. Poet? Words. Make-up artist? Guess… You get the idea.  
Environmental portrait
  •  I like this photo because of the vibrant colors in the background.















  • I like this photo because the clown is creepy and its a weird emotion for a clown to express.















Photography self portrait

  •  I like this photo because its like some kinda of star trek thing...or at least it reminds me of it.

























  • I like this photo because it looks like the photographer has a little metallic dimension in the palm of his hand.













Casual portrait

  •  I like this photo because the old retro coloring gives it that old music feel and emphasizes her status.
  


















  • I like this photo because its like the baby is seeing her twin and is saying hi to it or something.








Please write a paragraph telling me your plan for your portrait assignment. Answer the following questions: who will you shoot, where will you shoot, and what will you do to make the shot successful. Be specific on all three answers. When I read it I should know who and where you will take the photos and I should know exactly what your plan is to make sure you get not only good negatives, but a good print. 


I will probably take a photo of somebody else because i am not much of a model. I'm just to shy to be in front of the camera. But I'm pretty sure someone else can get the feel of it so i will tell them what to do. Probably like a lovely couple together or something.
