Types of magazine covers

1.Early Magazine Covers
Almost always paintings, tended to be ethical, morals, religious.
2.The Poster Cover
 One big picture, no border, subject is really clear. Text does not distract the photo at all. Really great photo, or really recognizable.
Disadvantages: NO entry points, risky
3.Pictures Married to Type
 The words help the photo, the words don't interfere with the photo.
Advantages: You can see the photo better, doesn't distract, the words and the pictures go together, the words go with the photo.
Disadvantages: don't know what else is in there, very few entry points in the magazine.
4.In the Forest of Words
Tons of text on the picture.
Different colors, Different Fonts, Different sizes, everywhere there are words.
Advantages: lots of entry points, lots of visuals
Disadvantages :Too much to look at, covers your photo

Magazine cover ideas

1. Never trim a printout, mount it beautifully, and display it with its alternates on the finely polished surface of the conference-room tabl
2.If the cover pops out from its background,don't weaken it by fussing with it.
3.If its is invisible like wallpaper, decide what elements worthy of becoming dominant.
4.A magazine is first and foremost a physical product, so experiment with it as such and be sure to make the the most of its capabilities.
5.Make a cover that will make people want to look inside of your magazine.

Portaits and Self Portraits Tips

Tips.
1.Blankly staring at the camera rarely gets good results.
2.The settings in which you make pictures of people are important because they add to the viewer's understanding of your subject.
3.One way is to frame an interesting composition and then, with your compact camera mounted on a tripod or another means of support, use the self-timer (if your camera has one) to trip the shutter after you get into position in front of the lens.
Environmental Portrait
I really liked this environmental portrait, because of the background, i really like the mountain in the back, it really gave the picture the depth, and the guy is using rule of thirds. The only bad thing about the picture is the people behind the guy, but it is still really a good picture.
 i really liked this photo because of the color in the sky, and the clouds, and the depth of the trees in the background, and i really like the cranberries, that are almost everywhere in the picture, and the guy is using rule of thirds.
Selfportrait
 
i really liked this photo, because i has a plain background, and nothing is distracting me from the subject, and because the guy is superman.
i really like this photo because it has a plain background, and the guy is wearing a black shirt, which goes with the background, and it doesn't distract you from looking at anything else, and also the camera looks cool, and it makes you think that he is a photographer.
Casual
i really liked this photo, because it is really casual, and there is nothing that distracts you, there is only a business man standing looking cool.

I will just ask people if they want to have there picture taken, and i will try to take the best picture of them, and having it in focus. I will take pictures around the school, like outside for a environmental picture, or in a mirror, or just in the school building. To make the shoot successful i will make the pictures in focus as best as i can, and i will have the right aperture, and i will try to zoom in on the photo, if it should be zoomed in

Welcome Back!

This was one of my favorite pictures, because it just looks really cool how they took that picture at that angle, and how the water really looks, from under the surface.
This was another one of my favorites, because the color of it, and the shadows, and the mountains, and the clouds, and the building in the middle,  it really makes the picture look really cool, and amazing.

This one was another one of , favorites because its so amazing how it looks with all of the little water drops on the fly, and because you can really she the fly up close, and its really hard to get a picture that close without the fly moving.
