Theres going to be a lot of words in the cover, there are bold words and apealing words in the cover different colors. different sizes and different fonts.
Fonts are going to be different and different colors.
What they try to do is make it look interesting and for people can buy it.
Negative: it takes away the photo, Most of the people under 25 would think its really appealing
the older ppl would look at it because its too much going on.
What does '' Picture Married to Type'' mean ?
Complement each other,
By they im talking about the words and the pictures,
Tells you whats going on in the photo,
They work togethere they dont hurt each other,
Ex: took two pictures together so they make them marrie each other,
disavantage: Some ppl woould make it look boring, so it could be very dull to other people.
dull colors boring pictures.
if you have a crappy picture people arent going to buy it,
if yuo pick bad colors it will make it look bad and boring,
What does "Early Magazine Covers " mean?

Portrait and self-portrait tips and ideas
5 Tips To Photographing Couples
Originally, I asked them to come over at a time when I knew the yard would be mostly shady. But as luck would have it, the afternoon was lightly overcast, which provided soft, diffuse lighting. It’s best to use this type of illumination when working with couples because it’s tricky to light two people well with strong directional light. In most daylight situations, the fine grain of ISO 100 film (or its equivalent digital-camera setting) is great for shooting portraits. I also set my digital camera on its cloudy white-balance setting.
Tip 2: Shooting Posed Pictures
As opposed to shooting candidly where the subjects are nearly oblivious to the camera, it’s up to you to make some effort to arrange your subjects to create a dynamic composition. Having two faces right next to each other, or two people standing side-by-side at the same level, just results in a static image. If you’re shooting a head-and-shoulders portrait like I did, it’s best to have one subject’s face slightly higher than the other. For example, you could have a man stand on a step just behind the woman. In this case, I asked Leslie to stand behind Robert, who was seated, and just put her arms casually around his shoulders. She leaned over so that her face was close to his, but in a slightly higher position. One rule of thumb is to pose two people so that the mouth of one and the eyes of the other are even on an imaginary line.

One rule of thumb is to pose two people so that the mouth of one and the eyes of the other are even on an imaginary line.
Tip 3: Supplementary Lighting
Although the light was diffused, I attempted to bounce a little additional light on Robert and Leslie’s faces with a reflector. I used a commercial reflector with a gold cast (which my husband assisted with), but you can use white Fome-Cor board, white cardboard, or one covered with a gold or silver finish. A reflector is especially useful when you want to bounce light back into the shadow areas of your subject’s face. You may also want to experiment with fill flash for adding a little extra light. Again, however, be careful when lighting two people, as illumination on both faces should be even.
who will you shoot, where will you shoot, and what will you do to make the shot successful. Be specific on all three answers
I will shoot the people i see in the side walk. I would shoot at a place that is a plain backgrounf. I will fix the camera for the picture wont come out blury and i will use the rule of thirds and try to be creative (:

final exam
.)Click on sever_drives first, then go to "my computer" Click on the "T" drive, click photojournalism folder, then click first period, then find your folder & open it.
2.)We use blogger.com to post our blogs.
3.)Get an empty oatmeal can, cover the inside all black, cover the lid with black too, on the outside make a square in the middle of the oatmeal can, then make a tiny hole with the needle, make sure no light gets in through the lid or through the hole, put a sheet of photo paper into the can, use a piece of tape to open & close the hole.
4.)When you open the tape light will get on to the paper causing a picture, the image is transferred to the paper because the light hits the paper & it makes the image appear, but you cant open the can in light you have to be in a dark room.
Rule of thirds- lining the picture up with the two intersections.
5.)
Rule of thirds- placing the main subject on the intersection of two intersections.
Balancing Elements- placing the main subject off-center.
Leading Lines- having lines that lead you to the main subject.
Symmetry and Patterns- having the same thing on both sides of the picture, like a mirror.
Viewpoint- instead of just shooting from eye level, you can shoot from high above, down at ground level, from the side, from the back, from a faraway, from close up.
Background/simplicity- having a clear background & something that's not distracting.
Create depth- having stuff in the background from far away.
Framing- having a frame around your picture from something in the photo.
Cropping- cutting out all the unnecessary objects so that the viewer focusing on the main subject.
6.)Makes the picture better.
7.)It can tell a story because it captures every moment.
8.)Multimedia means like videos & pictures. We have taken pictures & watched videos in class.
9.)1st sentence: Subject--action verb (present tense) -- object -- how -- why -- when -- where
10.)

9.)1st sentence: Subject--action verb (present tense) -- object -- how -- why -- when -- where
The verb should be in present tense and the sentence should answer the 5Ws and 1H.
2nd sentence: Subject--verb (past tense) --object (describes background [context] of the situation shown in the picture)
The verb should be in the past tense and the sentence should provide background info we couldn't get from looking at the picture.
10.)
10. Strong action verbs enhance a caption because they make it more memorable.
11. Photojournalists need to have a lot of ethics because their job is to write a story that goes along with the photo. They should enhance the photo and tell the background that the photo can't. If they change the photo then the story is not accurate and that's very unacceptable. Fashion photography is used for advertising the product in the photograph. For these photographers it's a little less wrong for them to manipulate the photo because they are still trying to enhance their product, however it is still wrong.
12. A portrait is a photograph or painting that someone takes of a person. A self-portrait is a photograph or painting that someone takes of themself.
13. A good portrait should not only show the subject effectively, but it should also give some insight into their personality.
14. Newspaper is all about writing articles and maybe having one photograph. It's also about writing articles about school issues. While yearbook is about designing spread for certain organizations and writing what they're all about.
Deff;
1. Aperture- A circle-shaped opening in a lens (a hole, really) through which light passes to strike the image sensor or the film. The aperture is usually created by an iris diaphragm that is adjustable, enabling the aperture to be made uniformly wider or narrower, thereby letting in more or less light. The size of the aperture is expressed as an f-number, like f/8 or f/11.
2. Shutter- A movable cover for an opening. In photography, that opening is the lens - more specifically, the aperture. The shutter blocks the passage of light traveling through the lens to the film when it is closed, and allows light to reach the film when it is open. Shutters are composed of blades, a curtain, a plate or another movable cover. They control the amount of time that light is allowed to pass through the opening to reach the film.
3. Exposure- (1) Exposure occurs when light is permitted to strike a digital camera's image sensor or a traditional camera's film - i.e. when the sensor/film is exposed to light. (2) Exposure is the total amount of light striking the sensor/film or other photographic material. (3) Also refers to a combination of shutter speed and aperture used in exposing the sensor/film in a camera, as in “My light meter shows an exposure (or an exposure reading) of 1/125 second at ƒ/11.” A particular aperture and shutter speed combinations are often referred to as “exposure settings.” “Proper exposure” refers to exposure that produces an image satisfactory to the photographer
4. F-stop- A lens aperture setting calibrated to an f-number
5. Single lens reflex- A camera with one lens only for both viewing and picture-taking. The image is reflected onto a viewing screen by a moveable mirror in the camera. The mirror flips out of the way just before the shutter opens, permitting light to strike the film.
6. Negative- An image in which the brightness values are reversed - that is, reproduced so that the lightest areas are the darkest, the darkest areas are the lightest, and intermediate tones are similarly reversed. "Negative” commonly refers to such an image on exposed and developed photographic film that is intended for use in making positive prints of the image.
7. Positive- Opposite of a negative - An image, such as print or a slide, with the same tonal values and colors as the original scene.
8. Contact sheet- A contact print made from several negatives at one time, usually an entire roll or whatever number of frames will fit on the print paper. The negatives actually come in "contact" with the printing paper, or as close as possible to the print paper when in a contact-printer negative holder.
9. Agitation- Gentle movement of liquid photo-processing chemicals (developer, stop-bath, fixer) during processing of film or paper in order to achieve uniform results.
10. Enlarger- An adjustable light projection device used in a darkroom to project an enlarged image from a negative through a lens onto photographic paper in various degrees of enlargement.
11. Stop bath- An acid bath or rinse (usually a weak solution of acetic acid) for stopping the action of a developer before fixing a negative or print.
12. Fixer- The chemical solution used for fixation. It removes any photo-sensitive silver-halide crystals that were not acted upon by light or by the developer.
13. Safe light- A lamp, typically in a darkroom, that allows a person to view light-sensitive material without it being altered by the light. The lamp is generally coated with or enclosed in a partially-translucent filter that screens out light rays to which the film or paper are sensitive.
14. Burning- Also known as "Printing in." In a darkroom, providing extra exposure to an area of the print to make it darker, while blocking light from the rest of the print.
15. Dodging- Blocking a portion of the light when printing a photograph or manipulating a digital image so that an area of the image will be made lighter.
2. Shutter- A movable cover for an opening. In photography, that opening is the lens - more specifically, the aperture. The shutter blocks the passage of light traveling through the lens to the film when it is closed, and allows light to reach the film when it is open.
