My Yearbook Spread

Front Pages of the World

. My favorite newspaper front page was the Los Angeles Times from Los Angeles, Cali., because the layout was very intriguing to me. It made me want to read it and it looked interesting.
. My favorite headline was "Night To Soar For Birdman", because the Oscars have always been a big topic in the US and hearing about the movie that won best picture draws an audience. Also the headline is bold, attractive, and catchy.
. Two stories are on the front page of the spread. 
. The headlines on all the Newspapers are bigger than the rest of the text. The main story always has the biggest pictures. the minor stories have smaller pictures. There is usually a story on the front page that is smaller than the rest and doesn't have a picture.  The name of the newspaper is at the top of the spread and is the biggest font and has a different font from the rest of the spread.
. Where the headlines are placed vary from spread to spread. The colors chosen to be used on the spread vary greatly in spreads. The fonts vary. The amount of pictures used vary from spread to spread.

Magazine cover Peer Review

I looked at a magazine called Vidorra by Emily Lawson. I like the complexity in the background of the picture, and I liked the simplicity of the font. I think making the background clear instead of blurry would look cooler. I picked this cover, because the uniqueness stood out to me. the creator put something so personal in the background, her art, something that represents her. I think that creates a special feel to the cover. Yes, there is a bar code. Yes, the bar code made the cover more magazine like. It was a self portrait, because the creator took it of them self in a mirror.

Peer Review Prompt Shoot

http://jacquelynphotojournalismblog.blogspot.com/


My favorite photo was the connected photo because it was very creative. I would have never thought to use a chains for connected. Also the photo is really clear and looks mysterious. 
My least favorite image is the one used for the prompt "8", because i think a better subject could have been used. I like the edit of black an white that was used but i think more creativity could have been done that just holding up 8 fingers.
I really like your photos overall, because they are clear and to the point. the lighting used makes the photos look more complex and i like that. I also love your photos, because of the overall creativity. the foot print in mud without the foot leaves behind questions about what foot it was.
Overall,i think they could improve on better sighting, all the photos are so simple that i think some complexity could be good.
From my opinion, the best prompt portrayed was the connected photo. because the inks between the objects are so relevant.
The least portrayed to me was the pose prompt, because not much was really showed to me other than a person standing.

5 websites - Time Lapse

The key to a good time lapse is patience. You need to fine a place that is interesting and set the camera at a good place, that will capture a good image and that will change over time. Also make sure each set up has a  lot of things in it, so when the audience is looking around they have a lot to look at. Another note is to keep the image up for a long time so people can look around for a while. Another note is to set up the camera at a place where the lighting will change. where the sun goes up or down, where people turn lights off or on.

 This is the site of the video i watched.   They took it in Rio, a city with a complex look, that is very beautiful.

5 websites. 6 types of Photos

One type of photo type that a photographer should know about is forced perspective. you can have a lot of fun with making it look like people are taller than they are or things are smaller than they really are.  i like this photo the most because its funny and creative to make it look like a girl is hanging on a cup that is bigger than her.

5 websites Style 101

The number one rule in style is to be original. Its not style if you aren't being creative. I picked this as my favorite photo from the style website, because it really represents the originality in her choice of clothing. you dont see people with hair like hers or blue eye shadow on the street everyday. style is stepping out of the norm and being yourself.
