FAVORITE!








#9 Harpers Bazaar (September 1992)
Harpers Bazaar, which debuted in 1867 as Americas first fashion magazine, celebrated its 125th anniversary in 1992, and the September 1992 issue under legendary Editor-in-Chief Liz Tilberiss direction heralded one of the most dramatic magazine reinventions in history. Tilberis helped transform the magazine from an also-ran fashion magazine into the one of the most cutting-edge and experimental of the big fashion glossiesillustrated by the creative typeface and avant-garde image of Linda Evangelista on the September magazine cover.

Critique!

This portrait is very well done. The focus and the way the picture is centered is very well done. Also the way the person is posing and how it only shows like half of her body but mostly the head, which is good. One thing that the portrait is missing is the background. Maybe if it had a little color to it, it would really be an attention getter! I love the way the put her hand up as she was grabbing the letters when they are falling. The brightness of the photo is good and also the composition. Instead of the background being white, it could've been like faded or something like that but other than that this is a very good portrait/ magazine cover!

magazine cover intro

a)Yes i have taken happy Akins building.
b)yes i have.
c) Yes i did!
d) Yes i have taken portraits and self portraits photos with the cameras.



5 things to be thinking about when designing a magazine cover:

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)

2010

I like this photo because of the color and how the ocean looks.

I like this photo because of its depth. I like how it is focused and all you can see is the snow and pinguins.
I like this picture because, I like the colors in it.


Favorite song of 2010 is firework by Katy Perry, because the lyrics are very meaningful and i love the strong beat.  I love this artist she has an awesome voice and i just love all of her songs because we can all relate to it in some way.












My favorite movie of 2010 was Grown Ups! This movie was absolutely hilarious! I loved every minute of it and i can watch it anytime i'm feeling down to cheer me up.










One of the biggest News in 2010 was the earthquake in Haiti. People all around the world were concerned and were helping this poor country.














One of the most important people in 2010 was Lady gaga. She has become one of the most famous people in hollywood.

My family came to visit us from Venezuela and we celebrated it with a party on Christmas.

5f.) Background/simplicity:look around for a plain and unobtrusive background and compose your shot so that it doesn't distract or detract from the subject.
5g. Depth- Overlapping objects in your image or having objects in the foreground, middle, and background of your image.
5h. Framing- When your photo has a natural frame around it like trees or archways.
5i. Cropping- When you zoom in on a subject so its in focus and the background is sort of blurred out.
5j. Avoiding mergers- When something in the background merges with something in the foreground to make it look like its sticking out of the subject, you want to avoid that.

6. Action and emotion describes the photo, about whats happening.

Abandoned theme parks

1. I would really like to visit the Takakanonuma Greenland, Hobara, Japan theme park, because it has a lot of the big roller coasters that i like. It also looks very interesting and kind of like old and creepy.




 3.  I also like these 5 parks: Okpo Land, South Korea; Prypiat, Ukraine; Russian Village, Niigata, Japan; Nara Dreamland, Nara, Japan; and the Koka Family Land, Shiga, Japan.
4.  No photographer has started documenting the Takakanonuma Greenland, Hobara, Japan theme park.
5.  I really like how it has all big roller coasters, and this could work for my rule of thirds picture and viewpont. I also like how old the place is, it looks like i could find a lot of interesting items and tools to take pictures of.
6. I think i would need a lot of money and identification card in order to enter this abandoned theme park. I would also need a good, big, good quality camera to get my pictures in focus, since it looks like a huge theme park.

My first print

1. I don't think anything is in sharp focus.
a. What's in focus is the instrument and the person playing it. I don't think theres anything that's not in focus.
b. The background is a little out of focus, because of the distance.

2. There is good contrast in the picture. anything that is supposed to be dark is dark and what's supposed to be white is white.

3. I don't think all the rules were followed, but some were. ( like patterns, shapes, lines, etc) The subject does fill the frame. The photo does contain action as the girl is playing ger instrument. And it does show academics, you can tell this is a band class.
b. I will try to get more of the composition rules into my next pictures.

4. There are no yellowing spots on the picture.

5. No, there were no print rings on the picture.

6. Yes, my print, negatives, contact sheet, and test strips are all in my folder.

CAPTIONS:

In a school band room, students were playing their instruments. They are all walking around having a good time.

Portraits and self-portraits

 Favorite self-portrait
Favorite Professional portrait



















What makes a good picture is if it includes any of the rules of photography. Also the position in which the photo was taken and the shapes patterns and colors. The quality and how well the picture looks gives the finishing touch to a good photo.


For my next 12 photos, the style i would like to do is the self-portrait one.
