Welcome back
Maganize part 2
1. Early Magazine Covers started around 1700 and lasted till the mid 1800's. The first page was usually the table of context and after that had a more book like layout. The cover of the magazine sometimes was modeled after books covers or even trying to show symbolical meanings in them. Eventually these magazines where more of newspapers only in a bit different format.
2. The Poster Cover where from 1890's to the 1960's. These magazines where much more like posters. The images on the cover where the main focus, like many covers today. Little words where placed on the cover, aside from the title of course and perhaps a notice about a story inside as well. In fact, these covers are still used today.
3. Pictures Married to Type are of the 2000's design but started in the early 1900's This is probably the most commonly used type of magazine cover. This style also was the first to show the subject (model) overlapping the title of the magazine. This is the design of which most magazines are based off of. With many headlines and a portrait of a model in the center.

5 websites
http://www.lightstalking.com/lens-flare
This website showed many photos, of very different styles, places, subjects and scenarios. Yet all shared a single thing, all had lens flare. A bright light peaking out of the corner or taking over the image.
I picked this photo because unlike the others the flare came from artificial lighting and they are made up of varies colors.
This photo follows the Depth rule of Photography.Photo taken by crsan – christianholmer.com, on Flickr
Spinning around a building-
http://fstoppers.com/how-to-spin-a-camera-around-a-building
Two people at Candy Glass productions decided to put together a video to teach and inspire others how to make a video that looks like you are spinning around a tower. They teach you step by step how to achieve this effect.
This video was uploaded to a channel ran by Jon Lemon. I believe though that the video itself was made by people in Candy eye production.
The people in the video of Candy eye production wanted to put together a fun video to show and teach friends, family, and anyone interested how to create such a video.
I learned from this video that something that seems so incredible ad difficult can be made with much more simple steps to end up with this amazing final product.NYU by bike
http://blog.tomolesnevich.com/personal-projects/#nyc-by-bike
This website had several photos that seemed to be taken below and beside a bike. How this was done i am not sure, he may have strapped it there but either way, wow. In these images the photographer rides around the city of new york and takes many images along the way.
I learned that if you want to do something or take a picture of something there is always a way.
This photograph is using the rule of thirds and the rule of balancing.

B&W landscapes -
http://digital-photography-school.com/27-black-and-white-landscape-images
On this website i looked through many photos of different landscape settings all in grey scale. Many where of water, some of the sky, others of trees. Some amazed me with the moment it was in, it is incredible what the word can look like.
I learned the earth can look many different ways, just depending on the time, day, or even exact moment you capture it in.
I picked this photo because the water looks so smooth and i find it to be very interesting how the photographer achieved this, and how the longs seem to go on forever.
This photo uses the rule of depth.

Storms-
http://www.lightstalking.com/storms
On this website there where a series of photos taken right before different storms in different settings. The photographers did an amazing job with editing and making the sky look incredible.
I learned that with a touch of Photoshop and the right timing you can make something that destroys so much such as a storm into something great to look at.
This photograph follows the rule of depth and balance.

Favorite
(Art Director: Stephanie Gladney; Photographer: Drew Reynolds)For this year's annual pride cover, we chose the most iconic gay pride icon—the rainbow flag—and added an artistic, visually arresting twist. By applying the flag to a person's face, we were able to humanize the topic of gay pride. By using a technique that blends the face paint with the background colors, we were able to create a unique and striking photograph. We could have done everything in Photoshop, but to give it a more authentic, less retouched feel, we shot the model with his face painted and standing in front of the background. Some retouching was required, but we maintained the texture of skin under the makeup that makes the face really pop.
I find this photo to be amazing. The time it took to paint this man seemed to take a long time seeing as the separation in colors is so sharp. Also it is amazing how even the subjects eyes are blue. If you look closely you can tell some editing that went on in the process but the photo before hand was probably very nice on its own. Over all in the end this photo's finish product is empowering.
