               5. there are 5 stories on the front page

                6. this paper is like all the others because it has a large title, main subject and side stories.

yearbook review

bowie high school

theme: designs brought architects to use geometry into their building designs. the planned roof lines represented the shapes of those times.

sections: the sections of the yearbook are alternating from black in white to color.

Student stories: some stories talk about the students achievements. there are many different stories on students and an important part of their life that they wanted to share with others.

senior ads: there are 23 pages for senior ads. they payed $6900 for the ads.

quick write

a yearbook consists of photos and caption about what the photo is about or who the people are. they are used to contain memories and what went on during the year.

magazine cover preview part 2

love this photo because of its simplicity and it looks so clean, Harper's Bazaar is a fashion magazine and the photographer made it so it gets the readers attention by having Paltrow just standing and posing mysteriously and so bold not facing the camera and the photographer made the dress fit her and really show her "good side" and the black letters behind her also gets the peoples attention "Gwyneth Paltrow Revealed"  and "the new look" making the readers wanting to know the full story.

My favorite cover


#2 Vanity Fair (August 1991)
Vanity Fair's provocative cover shot of the naked and hugely pregnant Demi Moore (also shot by Annie Leibovitz) projected the actress to even greater heights after the huge success of the movie Ghost the previous year. The cover helped firmly establish Moore as a member of Hollywood's A-List at the time. - See more at: http://www.magazine.org/asme/magazine-cover-contests/asmes-top-40-magazine-covers-last-40-years#sthash.X0rQPnut.dpuf

This photo is very strong and powerful. Demi is very exposed yet modest at the same time. I like how that headline doesn't take away from the photo because its very light and calm. The head lines make the photo more noticeable because the background is dark and the wording is light so its still noticeable  but it doesn't take away from the photo.

magazine cover preview


Masthead (logo)





The name of the magazine displayed in a specific typeface. This is the visual branding of the title and is often done in a specially designed typeface to be very recognisable and unique. The masthead is usually used on the contents page inside as well as the front cover, and as a logo for advertising and branding purposes
Dateline


Month and year of publication, often with the price. 
Main image




The image is used in a classic way, the face is big enough to stand out on the news-stand, with the model making full eye-contact
Model credit The photographer and
model credit is usually on the contents page


Cover lines






 A mistake often made with cover lines is that they run over an image that has a lot of colour changes, rendering the words invisible. its whats telling you whats inside the magazine
Main cover line taking up almost a quarter of the magazine cover - and comes in three layers, each with a different colour. It promotes the use of naked male centrefolds, a feature of Cosmopolitan in the UK since its first issue. Note the main cover line is positioned against the model's shoulder so it shows up clearly


Left third





 The title must be easily recognisable in a display of dozens of competitors. The start of the masthead is important here, as are short cover lines that are easy to read

Bar code


Standard bar code used by retailers

selling line               Short, sharp description of the title's main marketing point

What was the best ISO setting to use for your portraits?
The best setting was 3200 iso
What was your next best photo?
I think the second best iso was the 1600 one, i think bright pictures look cool.
Were you able to create equivalent exposures to your best photo by changing the aperture and shutter speed?
we didn't really mess with either of those.
What did you learn from this activity that you will apply to your real portrait shoot?
I learned what ISO does and how it has a big effect on things
