Magazine Cover styles

Cover Typer
1. Early Magazine Covers - always had drawings, very simple, religious theme


2. Poster Cover -  big picture that covers up the whole thing and as a set of small words and the words on the cover relate to the photo and nothing else picutres need tp be real apealing. covers can be boring


3. Picture Married to Type - disadvantages it is not cool if its too plain. if ur civers not awsome good luck


4. In the forrest of words- alot of words on the cover that are bold and non bold colorful different fonts different sizies. picure being coverd lots of points of entry and entry points compliment each other. tells u whats goin on in the photo and allows u to see what u expect in the magazine, pictures sale but if u cover it with words it negatives it. less points of entry means leass buyers


suff every magazine cover has- magazine title, some sort of art or picture, date,

Favorite:#3 (esquire):


The magazine cover i chose as my favorite because, it is very badass. Its a great portrait taken by the photographer. I say it is a good portrait because it was taken from his feet up and it is michael Jordan one of the greatist basketball. Its a nice portrait for a magazine cover of Details.

Portrait and self-portrait tips and ideas

Think about your motivation and emotions: Blankly staring at the camera rarely gets good results. Be silly, don’t be afraid to over-act. The worst that can happen is that you fill up your memory card with useless photos; but you might also find yourself with a proper gold-nugget of a self portrait.

Get Closer
The most common mistake made by photographers is that they are not physically close enough to their subjects. In some cases this means that the center of interest—the subject—is just a speck, too small to have any impact. Even when it is big enough to be decipherable, it usually carries little meaning. Viewers can sense when a subject is small because it was supposed to be and when it's small because the photographer was too shy to get close.


A mirror or some other reflective surface offers an even easier way to take a self-portrait. In most cases, the camera will be included in the scene (but this can help make a statement about your enthusiasm for photography). You can use your camera as a prop, and hold it away from your face. When you photograph into a mirror, be sure your reflection is in focus. An infrared autofocusing system will usually focus on glass if it's aimed into a mirror, and will focus at infinity if aimed at an angle. You might try focusing at an object that's the same distance as the distance from the camera to the reflection, lock in the focus, recompose the image to include yourself, and take the picture.




This is  Environmental portrait photograph. I like how the subject is positioned in the photograph and the setting this picture is painting. I really like the fact that its in black and white.
 

This is a self portrait photograph, Its simple and plain. the subject fits the photograph so well. he is just there. just smoking a ciggareete and not sure on what lifes bringing
 




who will you shoot? Im going to try to take some different selfportraits as well of people in their enviroment., where will you shoot? bathrooms,  hallways, class rooms, anywhere i can find somebody doing their own work, and what will you do to make the shot successful?. different point of views, trying new things and reflecting surfaces
