Photo Illustration Preview

The illustration that talked about corporate America being eager to volunteer to help the needy and one of the reasons is that "charitable giving benefits the bottom line"
The Newspaper has an illustration of a blue hand with white vertical lines and a red business tie on the wrist.
This illustration is meant to indicate "lending a hand" and the tie is for the business perspective of it all. That its the business people that want to help out.
I'm guessing that they used photo shop to paste the tie to the wrist and crop the hand. Even color the hand blue as well as add in the vertical lines.

Capture what you have learned

Zone Focus: focus your camera first, when you are done you wait for some action to occur in that
area you are at.

Shutter Speed: it relies on aperture and light, plus speed (action).

Panning: You move with the subject.

Picture 8 was my favorite because of the lighting and angle of the picture. It was captivating, seeing the lights create shadows in the right places. The shutter speed was on medium, because there wasn't much lighting to capture. It's in good focus, because there is no blur.

~FAVORITE~
#21 LIFE (November 26, 1965)
“The Blunt Reality of War in Vietnam” appears on the November 26, 1965 cover of LIFE. Paul Schutzer’s photograph of a Vietcong prisoner with his eyes and mouth taped shut captured the tumultuous war. Schutzer was one of LIFE’s best photographers, but was killed on assignment while covering the Six-Day War in 1967.


This picture is inspiring. Very motivating, because its an intense and horrible moment. This guy is blind folded and who knows what happened to him.
The text says, "the blunt reality of war in Vietnam". Very blind indeed.
the lighting it great as well as the focus, which is the subject blindfolded, as well as the angle which it was taken. Makes it more intense then it already is.

Gordon Parks


Formal.
There is a dark spot, hidding her legs, but the focus is her upper body and face. It gives a calm affect.

Cover History

Cover types



1. Early Magazine Covers: These magazines looked as if to be books. They would only supply a title and/or a drawn image of what may lie inside. Usually this covers never told of what is told inside the magazine. Other Early Magazine Covers had cover lines as if the magazine did not have a cover page. Almost like a newspaper. Their table of contents would be in the front page of some magazines while others had illustrations of circles that would label what the magazine has inside.



2. The Poster Cover: These are magazines that had no words in the cover, just the title and an image. In the 1800's these magazine covers would show artistic pictures of all sorts to describe the theme of the issue. From the 1890's to the 1940's most of these images had no connection with the theme of the issue or with the magazine at all. They were just pictures which the magazine publishers thought would attract people to buying their magazine. Now from 1939 to 20th centry, magazine publishers started using real pictures of people to put on the cover of their magazine.



3. Pictures Married to Type: In 1916 the cover art became well known with captions. They share the cover, knowing not to over lap eachother. The pictures have their space and the captions have theirs.


4. In the Forest of Words: Words will sometimes overlap with picture. Sometimes going all over the place on the cover (hints the name "forest of words"), the publishers want to make sure to inform all the readers of what is inside the magazine.

Fav. portrait.


This picture atracted me the most because it has feelings and lives behind it. It tells a story of what happened and how the jews survived the Holocaust.
Its just beautiful to see these hands unite with all the pain and suffering they endured.
