Fashion

1. List:  The woman's facial spots were covered with make up, her neck was made thinner, her eyes got raised and larger, her mouth was centered more, and her hairline was lowered

2. List: Her skin was lightened, her hair was made longer, they got rid of her freckles, her nose was reshaped and her eyes were made wider, they made her thinner, they lowered her bottom, they extended her legs and made her feet smaller.

3. List: The woman's entire body was made thinner and every feature was made smaller, her hair was extended, a filter was added

4. I do not ethically acceptable because it is completely changing someone's features to something that isn't even real. This kind of Photoshopping can lead to insecurity for people to think that someone is that ''perfect''.

5. Circumstances in which the Photoshopping would be ethically wrong would be a doctored photo of someone, changed in order to humiliate that person.

6. I think it is okay to change tiny aspects of a photo or the filter, but nothing that makes the person unrecognizable.

7. I think the differences between fashion photography and photojournalism photography is that in fashion, photos are doctored at another person's expense and are used as a photo to look up to and usually false advertise a product. In photojournalsim, photographers edit photos for the learning experience and to please others, and I thinks it's more acceptable when photos containing things other than people are edited.

8. Fashion photography is an allusion compared to reality, and photojournalism is just a way to make things more naturally appreciated and beautiful.

9. I think you are showing us these three videos to clue us into what really happens to edited photos in fashion photography. These videos were a huge insight to me because I knew photos were doctored, but I didn't realize how extreme it was.

10. I think none of these videos are about men because most aspects in fashion photography appeal to women, their opinions and their style.

Magazines Part 2

Early Magazine: I think the main attributes of the early magazines are the fact that they are sacred and set an example for the magazine world. The first ones came in the 1700's and 1800's and look very different than ours today: they were not in color, they're pasted on a different material of paper and are not very catchy. However, no matter how they look, the early magazines were a way, back then to inform others of more important information, rather than celebrities and affairs like today.

Poster Cover:
The poster magazines were popular from the 1890's to the 1960's. These covers are a picture without many words, usually just the title. The attributes of this magazine type are their high influence on pictures that cover a main topic if the magazine. As well, the one picture covers are a way to display art and make it more knows. Also, they represent the more clean and simple magazine which is really rare to be seen today.

Pictures Married to Type:
The magazine type Pictures Marries to Type introduces the first magazines with dialogue and headlines, in the 20th century. This attributes most influence on magazines today, which are almost never simple and clean, but scattered with headlines and pictures. Also, the coverlines draw viewers and readers in to buy the magazine, slowly making magazines become more and more popular and useful.

In the Forrest of Words:
The Forrest of Words magazine type attributes to the most modern magazines of the 21st century. Although these magazine covers tend to be more risky, they are filled with as many words and catchy lines they can fit. Also, they give opportunities to the use of more fonts, filters and topic ideas.

My Favorite Cover

Favorite:

***The website with the magazine isn't working for me so I can't copy the description, I got this image out of Emma's file. I will do it at home or next class period**










This magazine cover is definitely my favorite because of the way it caught my eye. Even though some people may think polka dots on polka dots is distracting or tacky, I think the hot pink writing stands out. Black, white and pink are great colors to put together, in my opinion. A photo rule that this magazine cover follows is simplicity, because it isn't super colorful because it uses only 3 colors. Also, there is nothing distracting happening in the background. I think this formal portrait is communicated as artistic, creative and able to give viewers the idea that the theme of this magazine's issue will include patterns of clothing and maybe a few famous people.

Magazne Tips

From reading "The Quest for the Perfect Cover", 1) I learned that magazine covers should not be so crowded and super colorful, but more simple. 2) Also, I found out that coverlines can be a great way to grab someone's attention if they are catchy and there are lots. 3) One thing I learned that I should avoid is having a weird subject on the cover that could possibly offend others or make them feel uncomfortable. 4) Also, to make your magazine noticeable for a particular company, make the magazine logo noticeable an familiar. 5) Lastly, I think another good tip provided was to make sure the bar code is not covered and easy to scan so that the magazine won't bring frustration to buyers and will create a sense of goo service for the company.

American Soldier Slideshow & Captions

A. I think the most powerful image from the slideshow is #56 because as it shows Ian tearing a picture of his girlfriend who cheated on him, it also is connected to emotions he must feel such as anger, sadness, and regret for ever leaving her to work in the army.

B.
At home in Denver- #1-9
At Basic Training- #16-30
In Iraq- #51-70
Back in Denver- #71-82
 The most powerful set of images was when Ian returned from Iraq (Set 4) because of the emotion it brought to his mother and the extent that people went to to welcome home the troops.

C. The images work together to tell a story by happening in order and capturing the highpoint of some of the most emotional times Ian experienced.

A) The photos where Ian is the subject, the photos' captions are written in 3rd person limited and taken in the present tense.
B) The captions enhance the photographs by giving viewers information of why the photo was taking and what's going on, which really contributes to the emotional strength of the photos.
