Front Pages of the World

1. My favorite newspaper front page is IL GIO DI VICENZA because I feel that the core is very colorful and appeals to the eye better than any other that I have seen on the website.
2. My favorite Headline is Una bimba di 45 giorni salvata dalla cecità because in the picture it has people doing surgery on someone; seemed very interesting.
3. Two full stories were on the front page of the newspaper
4. Most Newspapers have a dominant photo and story to go along with it, as feel as captions and headlines.
5. Newspapers vary in lengths of stories, the size of headlines, and the size of the pictures.

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.

Websites

face
I chose this photo as my favorite because of how clean it turned out. The rules of photography that I see are simplicity because there is nothing in the background to distract from the main subject. Jenna Martin took this photo.
On the website it showed Jenna Martin's 2015 New Years resolutions through photos and words.
I learned that I should try to be more organized with my school work this semester and here on out.
The site described the the photos that were being posted.

6 Types of photos every photographer should know how to make:

I picked this photo as my favorite because of the way the exposer of the colors came out. I think this is a fantastic photo. The main rule of photography that I see in this photo is leading lines with the water leading you to somewhere new. This photo is Infrared Dream by zeitfaenger.at.
I learned that to make a fake tilt and shit photo without an expensive lens, you have to manually focus the lens yourself to achieve the photo. I would be able to use this in your class later when assigned a shoot and we have to take pictures of something close to the ground or something. No this did not expand my knowledge of an Adobe computer program.

Killer Time lapse:
In the video I saw a time lapse of different popular places in Rio from day to night.
Joe Carpa made the video.
From this video Joe Carpa had to go through many obstacles to produce this time lapse video of Rio. He spent weeks trying to figure out the music to go along with the video to match the content that was being shown.
I learned that you need a intervalometer to make a time lapse.

I picked this photo because of the calmness that I feel when looking at this photograph. The rule of photography that I see in this photo is the simplicity. With the background being almost completely blank because of the clouds, it creates a great photo. Rachel Sussman took this photograph.
On the website I saw pictures of the oldest living things on the planet which I thought was pretty extravagant. Seeing the things that have not been touched by the modern world was weird to say the least. The site was just a combination of all of her works.                


In the tutorial I learned why it is good to take more photos this year and to post them on a blog of some sort and taking different types of photos.
I can use this in this class at some point when assigned a shoot but this website mainly gears towards outside of class.  No this did not expose me to new Adobe computer program.
