Final Exam Review

1 - 

World Pie Championship jury member John Young poses with two scotch pies during the judging of the competition in Dunfermline, Scotland.

The World Pie Championship in Scotland is being judged by judge John Young in November to find a world pie champion and will be awarded The World Pie Making Champions for this year. Young is now looking at the pies to see if they are firm and will do this to every pie to be one of a hand-full judges to determine who is going to be a finalist in the final judging. 

2 - 

Balancing Elements - Putting the object on focus to one side and adding an object of "equal weight"  to the other side.

Rule of Thirds - Putting the focus of the picture to a point on a graph of thirds, no in the middle.

Leading lines - There is a long line head from on side of the picture to the other side and making it the object of focus.
Symmetry and Pattern - Making the whole picture able to split in to by a straight and with that fictional line make both side of that photo equal in every way that you can see.
Viewpoint - Putting where you will take your picture in to consideration. Over head, eye level, and ground level.

Background - don't use to much action behind the object in focus.

Depth - Make the the 2-D object look 3-D by add layer to your photo.

Framing - Put the object in focus in a condition where the object is frame by man or natural objects.  

Cropping - To get rid unwanted extras in the photos by cropping it to focus on the main show.

Mergers - Where a object is cut off by the frame and is left hanging on with what ever is left on the photo. What out when taking your photos.

3 - 

Aperture - Showing how much of the back ground is going the shown. A little or a lot.

Shutter Speed - How fast you want the picture to be and making the shutter to close fast or slow. Fast makes it take photos look as if they were stopped in time and vice versa.

ISO - To show how intense the camera is going to be in light.

4 - In my words, what is and isn't acceptable to the world. Making some look "meaner" by darkening the skin or make a group have only men, no women is NEVER acceptable to this world. If it's somethings as simply as changing a tooth in a newspaper photo or anything along those line is fine to a certain degree that many know.

5 - 

Environmental - Putting the angle towards the person and where there they are most comfortable spot like where they work or where their favorite place is.

Self - Only sharing themselves with a serious tone in the photo.

Causal - Taking a professional photo with the person in their everyday clothes.

Formal - wearing very fancy clothing and nothing like they are wearing their P-Js.

Informal - Were or looking like on their everyday route.

6 - 

Exposure - How much light is in one photo and is not to much nor to little light.

Depth of field - How much of range is in clear focus.

Focal length - How much zoom the camera can have be the length in lens to sensor by millimeters.

7 - 

Early Magazine Cover - Simply cover with nothing more than a picture and some text over it.

The Poster Cover - Only focusing on the picture for the cover, nor real blobs o texts.

Picture Married to Type - Has a model for the cover overlapping the title with the side to the models side.

In the Forest of Words - There might be a picture of anything, but all you see is a lot of text with to much happening on to even see what is going on.

-----------------------------------------------------Questions---------------------------------------------------------

1 - No because women should be happy with their body.

2 - Yes, like the "larger woman" having someone cane her body in a matter of hours.
  
3 - None to me.

4 - Fashion photography is when some takes a picture of the "hot" style of today, while photojournalism is taking photos mainly of the news, not the hot styles.

5 - Fashion can change what one where, says and looks, but photo-j. can shape ones opinion by what they see.

6 - To stop this from happening because we are the future of these industries. 

7 - I think it's because, in the fashion world, mens bodies are perfect and the woman's body can alway be improved. Larger this, smaller that, the cycle is endless in fashion.

Type of Magazine Covers

1 - Early Magazine Covers: The early magazine covers were mainly made of one simple picture with some text at the top and/or bottom. Sometimes, there might not even be a drawing and just be text, this was mainly for news magazine.

2 - The Poster Covers: These magazine nay had a large picture of what the win article is about. There is little text and is can also be in have a small subtitle in a corner. This was manly used to show face of some, or an animal, or a new discovery, no matter what it was used for, it was to share how a photo a made the headline that much better.

3 - Pictures Married to Type: The picture married to type is one that is mainly targeted to one part of society, women. A woman on the front of a magazine might mean beauty, style, or fashion, but people, no matter what gender can pick it up have a good read, learn a time management skill, or what not, anyone can read these magazines.   

4 -  In the Forest of Words: Every once in a while, you can pick up a magazine and have no idea what on earth is going on. The title is a large sentence, store names everywhere, and when you flip throughout the pages, ad are everywhere. The picture is covered by text and even other pictures, the only thing that might stick out is a small face with a bold font covering his body with the name of who is in the picture.

My Favorite cover



















At first, this made no sense to me. A picture of the ruler of Russia, Putin. Well dressed, well light, an over all good picture. One this that really struck me was the placement of the "PERSON OF THE YEAR" text was. It looks to be like if Putin was wear this Hitler mustache. An iconic symbol of bad to come and a harsh remake to a man who was thought to be invoke in the assassination of a competitor that my take his place as ruler. I pick this cover of how symbolic it was to a man half way around the world and is showed to be mock by a company that only knows his public side.

Poster Brainstorming

1 - A darker cover. 

2 - To show at least some emotion on the magazine.

3 - Show more color, no black and white covers.

4 - Might use family.

5 - Show it like it was "real life."
