Other High School newspapers

"The Lake" is my favorite magazine cover because its creativity and how clean cut the cover has, not having too many things going on at once.
The cover immediately grabbed my attention because I have not seen a high school magazine where it has a triplicate of someone let alone them be different colors and transparent to look at.
"Students stand up for their education" is my favorite headline, reasoning because I think it is a topic that is being address recently and other students need to know what is going on with the rest of the school and how people are feeling about the topic.
No stories are on the front cover of the newspaper.
They all have the name of the newspaper at the top, and then the headline underneath it. The dominant photo and the corresponding story lie next to the headline(s), then side stories and pictures in columns.
Things that vary within newspapers is the size of the headlines, the theme, the colors used to correspond with the theme, the layout, and how many stories are on the front cover.
Mostly yes, but different themes are definitely shown.

Broadsheet examples:
"Granite Bay Gazette"
"The Register"
"The Sidekick"

Tabloid examples:
"Eagle Edition"
"The Phoenix"
"Quaker Shaker"

NewsMagazine examples:
"The Lake"
"North Star"
"El Estoque"

Magazine Cover Peer Review

 Link

Sixteen is the name of Andre Moore's magazine cover.
 I love how when I first saw this magazine I was intrigued to look more into it and how clean the magazine looks over all.

To spice up the magazine, put some color on to it to make it pop out more.
I picked this cover because of the content that was being displayed on the cover. I found it very appealing.
Yes there is a bar code. Yes it helped make it look more like a magazine, but it is a little small.
I think it was a self- portrait.

Prompt Shoot Peer Review

Natatlie's Blog: http://nataliesphtblog.blogspot.com

I really enjoyed seeing the "posed" picture that Natalie took because it is original and it isn't just the normal posed picture of someone or something. Natalie took a look on the other side of "posed."

My least favorite photo would have to be of the prompt "the end."Just because of the content. The picture is very good but personally I would have put a little more detail into this photo to make it a little more exciting.

On Natalies prompt shoot, I enjoyed how she was very creative with the prompts she was given and how she executed them.
Another thing I saw was how she went out of the ordinary with her photos which is always nice to see.

One thing to improve on would be to bring a little more life into the photos to make them more exciting but then again I really enjoyed all of her photos so there is really nothing to say here.

"Connected" was the prompt that was best portrayed because it showed how the two stems were working together.

"Eight" was the prompt that was least portrayed because it is just very straight forward.
