Architecture Photography.

Lighting.
I think this is a good example of lighting because of what you can and cannot see. You can make out the building in the background, but the sign is the main focus. The lighting automatically attracts your attention to the sign.

Patterns.
I like the patterns in this because it isnt just one individual building with patterns. The patterns on the buildings match and also each of the buildings are the same !

Angles.
I like the angle that its taken from a low view point and its like looking upward. It also has patterns...

Cover History

1. Early Magazine Covers
2. The Poster Cover
3. Pictures Married to Type
4. In the Forest of Words

1. The Early Magazines dedicated their opening page to the cover page to the table of contents. If they ever had a cover it only contained the title and publication data, no worded descriptions. Some had a formal book-layout type covers. Symbols or drawn pictures were also used to give a description of what the magazines subject was. Others had cover lines that could indicate what was in the magazine, but those were the generic covers.

2. The Poster Covers were around the time that good graphic designers came out. The cover was usually just cover art and a cover line announcing the theme or even an unobtrusive group of cover lines that are vastly overshadowed by the art. The cover art was really elaborate too. After a while, the art pictures were replaced with big photographs. Some of these photographs were striking close ups of whoever was featured in the magazines.

3. The Pictures were "Married" To the type to show a relationship between the cover and the articles. The covers had a large title with a models face overlapping it, a model in a almost full body pose, a model in an unusual and expressive posture, and cover lines on all sides of her, carefully positioned in relation to the model and the background. There is a primary and a secondary set of cover lines. Most of the cover lines identify the names of the contributors, not the topics of their articles and even the name of the cover illustrator appears on a prominent place. Pretty soon, the magazine covers seemed to display all of their magazines contents.

4. In the Forest Words some covers of this period contain cover lines that are actually larger than the name of the magazine. A powerful picture is rarely enough for magazine covers of this period. Even among magazines that display photographs of exposed models cover lines often intrude upon the nudeness. the models on magazine covers look at us through the listed contents of the magazines or stand in.

My Self Portrait.

Instead of doing a self-portrait, I want to do a portrait of my little sister. I want to do it outside somewhere, maybe around alot of trees or a field with lots of flowers.I have two different ideas for it, one is to do a close up of her face in some flowers. The other is to have her sitting or just wandering around aimlessly. I want to take the picture around 10 ir 12 o clock because thats when the sun shines the most and i want the picture to be very bright.

Self Portrait




I think a good self portrait needs to be unique. Something that sets you apart from everyone else. It has to show what your all about. The picture has to be you and express your personality in it.

2009

1. My favorite memory from the holiday break was going to the lil wayne farewell concert in my hometown with my sister. It was alot of fun and Im happy I can say I was at his last show before he got locked up (:
2. I went to new orleans, florida, atlanta, houston and san antonio. I visited my brother in jail-which was horrible. I spent alot of time with my family...it was a little awkward, but Im not complaining.
3. First of all, I hope I dont live to be 225 yrs old because Id be really ugly. But the biggest thing I'll remember from 2009 is Obama getting elected as president. That was a pretty incredible moment and I got to be apart of it (even though I didnt get to vote) It was a really emotional event for my family.

Best of 2009

I like this picture because the guitar dude looks airborne. Theyre all in action and all up in their music. It just has a lot of emotion in the picture, you can tell they're having fun doing what they do. I think this is a good example of view point. This is what the audience sees.
I like this one because the person looks locked in. I bet this is how alot of teens feel, like they're not allowed to do anything. I think this is balancing elements, the way its all even on both sides

This picture is really cool. I like how the color of the smoke is deeper in the center and it fades on the ends. And I like how you can see his hand on the guitar really clearly. I think this is creating depth.
