1. Avoid a weak cover by not messing with it too much. 2. Make one element of your poster dominant. 3. Make it fit the interest of your viewers. 4. Never trim a printout.  5. Experiment with your magazine cover to make it look as unique as possible.

1. In the video they made her neck look longer and thinner and her eyes bigger. Before they even took the picture they out a lot of makeup on her and did her hair. 2. In the video I noticed that they made the model look way thinner than she was. They then made her skin look clearer and a different shade. They also applied a lot of makeup and a wig making her almost like a barbie. 3. In this video they photoshopped a piece of pizza into a model. They changed the pizza around and changed all of the colors and shapes to make a model out of it. I think that this took it way too far. 4. I don't think that it is ethically acceptable to change what a person's appearance in photos because they are advertising things that aren't real. They are also making other people feel bad because the models have "no flaws" but in reality it is photoshopped to appear that way. 5. It would be more wrong to change what models look like when advertising makeup or clothes because t...

Another element of randomness that you can introduce to your portraits is the way that you light them. There are almost unlimited possibilities when it comes to using light in portraits. Side-lighting can create mood, backlighting and silhouetting your subject to hide their features can be powerful. Unobtrusive candids seek to be fly-on-the-wall images that catch people going about their business seemingly unaware of the camera and the photographer. This yields images that are more toward the objective end of the objective/subjective continuum, though there is not, of course, any photograph made by a human that is completely objective. Candids with consent, made when the photographer is actively engaged with the subject and the subject is conscious of this involvement, are very different. Photographs are records of the photographer's relationship with his or her subject. In consensual candids, the relationship can be either obvious (the subject looks directly into the camera)...

1. Friday, September 11, 2009 Ian joins the army to help fight for his country. His friends and family threw parties for him to say goodbye. As he started basic training he soon had second thoughts about his decision. A childhood injury came back as he fell on his left elbow after the first day of basic training. He could of possibly been disqualified from performing service because he never mentioned this injury earlier in time. Basic training was tough and he got little sleep. He started to build bonds with the other soldiers as the training continued. He then received weapons and started completing practices to get ready for Iraq later on. September 12, 2009 Ian becomes stressed by training and other things on his mind. He comes home to visit family and friends and him and his girlfriend, Kayla, pick out an engagement ring. After his breakup with Kayla later in the year his dad feels like this has made him use drugs, smoke, and start other bad habits. He continues to have train...

  A) I think that this is the most powerful picture because it shows Fisher and the other soldiers getting in position but they are all probably nervous about their journey and if they are going to come out alive in the end.  B) The images work together because they all go in order to tell his story as a soldier. They start with him as a young soldier and then later he ends up getting married after coming back from Iraq. C) Captions enhance the photo by explaining what is going on in the photo and what is yet to come. The captions also help give more detail on what might not be able to be taken away by just the picture. D) Ian started as a young soldier who was hurt. He then confirmed that he was going to be enlisted in the army. Ian then graduates high school and meets in the army recruiting office to discuss what training is like and what to expect in Iraq. His family and friends threw goodbye parties for him, sad to see him go. Ian says bye to his family and get...
