Architecture shoot preview assignment

 

Surroundings:

This build falls into the surroundings category because it stands out from the rest of the buildings around it. 

 

Angles and Shapes:

This building is very interesting because it is in a weird shape, it is different than other buildings. I think it falls into the category of angles and shapes because of its triangular shape and angles.

Patterns:

The repeated pattern of lines on this building  show the exterior space of the building so it falls into the description of patterns.

Light:

The lighting of this picture shows it as a dramatic mood for the building because of the mysterious light it gives off on a dark day. 

Details:

This is an up close photo of the details of a building to show the little details that make this building special or beautiful.

japan

 This photo is good because it shows the destruction of the tsunami and how it brought in so much mess into a home.

 This is crazy how the boat is in land its really sad to see so much destruction. Lines are being used by the photographer to show the ship.

Its crazy to see how everything got stacked and mest up together every where and how people have to find ways threw the mess. Lines

AT&T hands

 

I would be very amazed by this commercial because it is very creative and looks very real but i don't think it would make me want to buy an atnt cell phone because I'm buying the phone not the hands and it would depend on how well the phone works.

NOTES on magazine covers:

Cover type:
1.Early magazine covers:

• Non photos
• Drawing 
• Big areas of color
• Typically not date line or barcode
• Not much action
• Topic were often church related (good vs evil)

2.The poster cover:

• Main focus on picture
• Words talk about picture cover
• Not many words at all
• Picture better be very good or it will not be eye catching

3.Pictures married to type:

• Less words than forest of words
• Words incorporated with photo
• Picture in background
• Most words are together
• A little boring
• Not many entry points(places where viewer get interested)

4.In the forest of words:

• Many words 
• Different fonts
• Sizes and colors.
• Words distract 
• Not able to see full photograph

Stuff that should be on magazine cover:

• Title
• Picture
• Barcode
• Price
• Date line

Read the 2 page article about magazine cover design. The second page is much more important than the first page. On your blog tell me 5 things you should be thinking about when you design your magazine cover.
-No matter what you put on the cover, keep the six functions of covers in mind.

-Worst of all, it is virtual. It is just an illusory likeness of the physical paper product that your potential buyer will ultimately be holding. If you are producing magazines on paper, think and remain conscious of “paperness” all the time.


-Never trim a printout, mount it beautifully, and display it with its alternates on the finely polished surface of the conference-room table.

-Invest in a full-color, life-size photomural of a newsstand and have it permanently installed.

-If the cover pops out from its background, don’t weaken it by fussing with it.

This is one of my favorite photos because Spain is my favorite soccer team and i was so excited when they won the world cup.

3. What was the most important news story of the year?
The Oil spill was something that was very important in the news because it affected many marine animals and it was something that took a long time to clean up.

4. Who was the most important person of 2010?
I think Obama was the most important person of 2010 because most of the media was talking about what he was doing and also he tried to do a lot and change things to make the U.S a better place.

5. What was the biggest sports OR entertainment, story OR person of 2010 (you should google what is appropriate for your choice)

Finally, I want to know about YOUR holiday.

1. Tell me what is the one thing that happened on your holiday that you will remember? It can be a trip, a family visit, a present, something fun.
I spent time with my cousins from Richmond for the first time and popped fireworks.

2. What are your resolutions for the 2011 year?
To pass all my classes and work out

3. What are you looking forward to in 2011?
Me and Payton and some friends to hang out!

 After looking at these, find what you think are the best 2 or 3 tips and copy and paste them into a new post on your blog:

1.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.
2. Focussing is easier if you use a smaller aperture; My favourite lens at the moment is the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4, (hence the abundance of photos taken with it on Flickr, I suppose) but I’d probably not use it wide-open when taking self portraits; It’s tricky enough to get the focus right when you’re behind the camera – when you’re on the wrong side of the lens, having a slightly deeper DOF is a lot easier!
3. The settings in which you make pictures of people are important because they add to the viewer's understanding of your subject. The room in which a person lives or works, their house, the city street they walk, the place in which they seek relaxation—whatever it is, the setting provides information about people and tells us something about their lives. Seek balance between subject and environment. Include enough of the setting to aid your image, but not so much that the subject is lost in it.

Environmental portrait:

I chose this picture because i love the way the grass and flowers look around the guy laying on the floor, also how the trees in the background take the setting.


















I like this picture because it shows two young kids just having fun with cameras and everything looks very simple around them.








Photography self portrait: 

I like the way this girls eyes look and the way the picture looks at the bottom of it. i also like the way her hair covers one of her eyes makes it more mysterious.

This picture is very creative i like how theres a girl thats dancing i think and it reflects in the eye.









Casual portrait:

Its a very cute picture i think its because of how they look so happy and the scene is very beautiful.
