Final Review

Dec. 5, 2014. A NASA Orion capsule on top of a Delta rocket lifts off on its first unmanned orbital test flight from Complex 37 B at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at Cape Canaveral, Fla.
With NASA launching their Orion capsule apart of the Delta rocket, the first unmanned test flight takes a nail-biting start into the air. Moments before the launch, millions of tests are being ran through for the hundredth check before launching time.
Dec. 3, 2014. People lie on the middle of the West Side Highway in New York during a protest after it was announced that the New York City police officer involved in the death of Eric Garner was not indicted. A grand jury cleared the officer in the videotaped chokehold death of Garner, an unarmed black man, who had been stopped on suspicion of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes.
As people lay on the side of the highway with thoughts racing through their mind of what is going to happen next, the police shine a threatening bright light on them. With the death of Eric Garner, New York went into an antagonizing protest when the people found out the police officer who was heavily involved, was not indicted.   Source


1. Rule of thirds: Using the frame on the camera and putting the subject of the photo in the corners of the frame or in the direct center.
2. Balancing Elements: Balance the weight of the subject by including another object of lesser importance to fill the space.
3. Leading Lines: Each type of line can enhance the photo's composition.
4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition): Introduces tension and a focal point to the scene.
5. Viewpoint: Where you place the angle of the camera; High above, down at ground level, from the side, from the back, etc.
6. Background: A plain and unobtrusive background and does not distract from the subject.
7. Create depth: Creating layers by having objects in the foreground , middle ground, and background.
8. Framing: Having a more focused image which draws your eye naturally to the main point of interest.
9. Cropping: Cropping tight around the subject to get the viewer's attention.
10. Mergers and avoiding them: You can make your subject look different by having mergers and it can mess up the photo.

Aperture: Adjusted to control the amount of light that is being let into the photo.
Shutter speed: Controls the exposure and the amount of time the camera's shutter is open and how much light reaches the film in the exposure time.
ISO: The sensitivity to light. 

It is not acceptable to completely change a person's appearance just to be "accepted" into what we call a perfect world when we all know that we are far from perfect. People try to manipulate young women into thinking that this is the way that we have to look in order to be "beautiful."

Environmental: Portrait of the subject in their usual environment.
Self: A portrait of self done by oneself.
Casual: Portrait of a person in a posed position.

Depth of Field: The distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image.

Exposure: Amount of light reaching a photographic film determined by shutter speed and aperture.
Focal Length: The distance in mm from the optical center of the lens to the focal point.

Early: Modeled them after the covers of books. Had only the title and publication data. There were no descriptive words telling what would be found inside the magazine.

Poster: Oversized magazines looked as if they were printed to be framed and hung on the wall.
Married type: Cover lines are used to draw readers inside in a more definite way than the cover art could accomplish.
Forest of Words: Some covers of this period contain cover lines that are actually larger than the name of the magazine.
