Magazine Cover and Catch up
1st. Pile: Rechi (ukranian for "Things")
The things that are similar are none of them have people just objects.
Comparisons include the different styled covers and different subjects.
We put these magazines covers here because none of them went along with the other catergories.
Most are effective at showing a piece of what's inside the magazine, except a few oare plain and don't advertise the magazine.
Magazine names: The Day that changed America, Popular Photography, Silver Shotz, Home and Garden, Austin Monthly Home, Burnt Orange, Journalism Education, Smithsoian, Texas Monthly.
2. Informal and Formal Portraits
Characteristics: Covers that featured people doing a photoshoot with a simple background to make them the main focus of the cover.
Similar: Most of them only have one person on the cover with a plain background.
Different: They're different people; different topics.
Why: They all are same types of portraits of well-known people.
Effective: they all are effective because they attract attention and give you a little insight to what that person is all about.

3.Environmental Portraits
Characteristics: They all show people doing what the magazine is advertising and they represent what's on the cover. They show people in real situations instead of in a photo shoot.
Similar: They all have people, not things, on the cover showing what they do in real life.
Different: Everyone is doing something different, none of them are on the cover doing the same thing.
Why: We put these here because none of them are in a photo shoot, but they are all environmental portraits.
Effective: All of these are effective because they advertise what that person is famous for and it shows them doing their thing, not in a building somewhere with a plain background. It shows the real person doing their own thing.

Happy, Akins, Building- publish your photos
Happy
This picture means happy to me because nice looking Ms. Simmons is smiling and looks like she enjoys what she does. This picture is good because its zoomed in and you can automatically tell Ms. Simmons is our subject. The photo is acceptable because it is in good focus and the colors are not dull like the original looks, this one is brighter and stands out better.
Akins
I chose this picture to mean Akins because every time I think of my school this vision pops in my head. This picture is good because the colors are well and the front of the building fit right into what was required. The only thing I would have done differently was to take the picture more in front of the building so whoever is looking at this picture could see the full "W. Charles Akins High School"
Buliding
This was a good picture to put in the building folder because in this photo you can see two groups of what looks like athletes doing drills and just working together to BUILD a better team. The people in this photo really stand out a lot better than the original from adjusting the levels and everything just stands out better.

Cover Types
1. Early magazine covers- photo is hard to see, a title but not much text
2. The poster cover- consists of a picture filling the frame of the magazine and only a title and small words on the bottom corner. disadvantage: has to be VERY appealing to the readers eyes.
3. Pictures married to type- less color and text than the forest of words, text is usually on one side, text is involved in the photo, as many entry points
4. In the forest of words- lots of words, different fonts, subjects, colors, sizes all over the place framing the subject. disadvantage: distracting and hard to see the full subject
stuff that should be on my magazine cover:
