Photo Illustration Idea

"On the streets with APD: City leaders walk the beat" is the news story I plan to make an illustration of.

In-Depth Photo illustrations

1. The image is illustrating the backround of what causes that wierd sensation when you are tickled.

2. I like this image becuase the backround is plain and simple. I also like how the illustrator had the lighting and the way the baby's face is lit up.

The illustration for Boston Herald's lifestyle section for a story titled Petal Pushers. I think the illustrationg was made just by typing on a path.

Capture What You Have Learned

Zone Focus- Focusing on one area where you know is in action spot and wait for there to be action for your to shoot.

Shutter Speed- 1/300 and Above. Unless you plan on panning

Panning- Shooting and a low shutter speed and keeping your subject in the same line of focus.

Waiting For the Pause- waiting for the athlete to pause. In every game there is a time when the subject pauses their motion

Listen To What the Judges Have to Say

Part I


1.

Portfolio 1

Photographer: Alyssa Schukar
General Focus: Photojournalism
Three Problems: All the photo's were at a certain distance, there weren't enough strong singles, and it was sort of a "dark take"
Two Likes: The legs in the photo of a hurdler, and the photo of the kids in the stairway.
Overall Impression: I thought it didn't catch my attention enough. I didn't like the photo of the two girls hugging. You can capture that any where.

Portfolio 2

Photograper: Nick Adams
General Focus: Sports
Three Problems: The headless cheerleader in the cheerleading photo, pictures of kids it wasn't original, and the photo of the fire was nothing new.
Two Likes: The cheerleading photo was original and the football photo all four corners were filled.
Overall Impression: I didn't like how the frames his photos and how there were alot of photos with someones head cut off.

Portfolio 3

Photograper: Jordan Murph
General Focus: Sports
Three Dislikes: There were to photo's with the exact same color and point of view, needs to expand, and the photo of the man sleeping did not belong.
Two Likes: "good solid" Volleyball photo, found a good unique moment inside something seen 1000 times.

Best Covers

Favorite

#36 People (September 15, 1997) This cover of People features a black and white photograph of Princess Diana, and the issue is a tribute to her life after she was killed in August 1997 in a car crash. Diana appeared on the cover of the magazine a record 52 times and was one of the most popular People cover subjects. In 1981, she married Prince Charles and arguably became one of the most famous women in the world. She was lauded for her high-profile involvement in AIDS issues and for an international campaign against landmines. Diana's death was greeted with extraordinary public grief, and her funeral at Westminster Abbey drew an estimated three million mourners in London, as well as worldwide television coverage.

This is a formal portrait of Princess Diana. The photo communicates the Princess Diana led a happy and prosperous life. The photo indicates this by her smile and her jewelry. It is also communicated through how simple the photo is. This portrait was taken in soft light because there is not dark shadows around her or on her. It uses an advanced composition technique called simplicity.

AA Read In

I read 15 minutes. My favorite poem was Problems.





This is a environmental portrait. It has a sad effect because the lighting is hard and the shadows make is feel gloomy. Her posture and the position of her head suggests that she can hear or see the women talking behind her or about her.

Magazine Cover Preview

Early Magazine Covers-
The earliest magazine covers consisted of a title page and a table of contents and were typically designed like book covers. Later the cover had a symbolic illustration without cover lines that reaveled the content of the magazine. Some magazines didn't even have a cover they simply placed an article on the front page like a newspaper.

The Poster Cover-
These magazine covers had a famous illustration or detailed paintings. The cover lines were small if any. The cover lines were placed in a blank space on the page.

Pictures Married to Type-
Other magazines put their confidence in a strong cover line to catch the readers attention. The magazine was designed with depth by layering the planes of the photograph or illustration.

In The Forest Of Words-
The layout of these magazines were designed in such a way that the cover photo was equally as important as the the coverlines. At times the cover lines were larger than the title to hook the reader. Some of the cover lines overlap eachother.

What makes this portrait good is it captures a true moment. You can see his energy. The lighting adds a dramatic feel to Mick Jagger because of the shadows on his torso. With the dark backround it makes him really stand out.

In my photos I would like to emulate the creative use of lighting.
