2. You will need to know all the rules of photography and be able to explain them. Here are the rules again:

1. Rule of thirds-applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section.

2. Balancing Elements-Placing your main subject off-center, as with the rule of thirds, creates a more interesting photo, but it can leave a void in the scene which can make it feel empty. 

3. Leading Lines-refers to a composition technique whereby the viewer's eye is attracted to lines that lead directly to the principle subject in the image. 

4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)-An object or design that is symmetrical that has two halves that are exactly the same shape and size. ... These leggings have a pattern that is symmetrical

5. Viewpoint- a way of looking at or thinking about something 

6. Background-the area or scenery behind the main object of contemplation, especially when perceived as a framework for it.

7. Create depth-the amount of distance between the nearest and farthest objects that appear in acceptably sharp focus in a photograph.

8. Framing-Whether it be a very literal frame

9. Cropping

10. Mergers and avoiding them

 On your blog – Copy Numbers 1-10 and then explain each rule in your own words.

3. You will need to know and understand Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO.

On your blog retype the words and explain what each means.

4. You will need to know and be able to explain the ethics of manipulating photos in photoshop and what is acceptable and what is not acceptable.

On your blog tell me what is acceptable and what isn't.

5. You will need to be able to explain the three types of portraits you read about – Environmental, Self and Casual (remember the difference between formal and informal).

On your blog describe all three.

6. You will need to be able to explain the photographic terms: Exposure, Depth of Field, and Focal Length. Look those words up again.

On your blog post those definitions – make sure they relate to photography.

7. You will need to know the four types of magazine covers: Early, Poster, Married to Type and Forest of Words and how to tell the difference.

On you blog, write what each looks like

8. Finally, I will be asking you to read about a current event that happened last year with a New York Post photographer. It will be a longer reading and there will be a multi-part series of reflective questions. This will be extra credit on the exam, so if you struggle with the above ideas/questions – you should plan to do this part. It could be the difference between an average grade and a very good grade.

My favorite cover-

Favorite-

Photographer: Richard Burbridge
Designer: Arem Duplessis
"This classic Richard Burbridge portrait of Danielle Radcliffe, shot in his trademark heightened black-and-white style, reveals a grown-up Radcliffe not yet at ease with his fame. The extended ascenders and descenders in the typography reference the Harry Potter logo and also serve as a framing device for the image."


The reason i had selected this cover because you don't see much of these type of covers any many see people posting with pounds of makeup on and with bright colors and bright lighting on them and making them look fake or unreal to how they really look. The reason i choose this photo was because how they left him natural and how they didn't really edit the photo they left it as it is and it really brings out his true beauty and that the magazine doesn't really care about looks but true beauty and this communicates that the people really go for the natural look and they use a sorta amount of light in this photo and they exposure a lot of his  natural features and composition of his face.



Magazine part 2-

1. Image Based-Is a 3D rendering it captures a real-world light and information from the image using a specialized camera and it is also to use to simulate the lighting for the objects of the project in the scene instead of allowing the highly detailed real-world lighting to be used in the scene but imaged based is high dynamic range images.


2. Illustration Based-It is a decoration and interpretation and or a visual explanation of a text or a concept that is being used in the process and is designed for integration in the media and published such as posters and flyers and books things like this also games and films.


3. Type Based-these types of photos are rare but we still see them around us more then we think we do but we most often see them on illustrated covers these covers tend to really strike and even shocking a lot of people.They have a very powerful way of how they look and how are presented in words there a lot of beauty types and they even send messages much better than photography.


4. Concept Based-These can usually be a mix of all three approaches listed above its best when it is used to present strong messages the main trick to the concept based on magazine covers is that they have to be instantly understandable to the audience and its not easy to achieve when doing this the idea is that  you have may be funny and your editor but is it going to be funny to the readers well they get it.
