CE 4.4

1) Basically hacking into every apple users' phone
2) Carnitine
3) They are fighting for business with Amazon
4)  For some schools it costs more to travel throughout the austin traffic
5) headsets

1) I learned there were two different groups that vote. It's causing problems for them because it is off balance so there's ties.
2) Antonin Scalia recently died.
3) Ye, I do, because this problem is defeating the point of the two different groups. If its now uneven, the votes are always going to be the same direction, and they need the even amount.
4) No, I am not.

Magazines Part II

Early Magazine covers

Made differently than normal, and really just focus on putting titles and table of contents. Some copies looked more like book covers. They later added pictures or more like drawings to some on the covers. These types were very simple and most in black and white.

The Poster Cover

This kind of cover introduced magazines that put artists' drawings on the front of their magazines. These covers would normally take up the whole page almost like posters. There weren't many words included on the front. There was normally just the title and a short explanation of what it was about.

Pictures married to type

These covers really focused on the balance between their words and their main focus (the model/picture) They would include a model a lot of the time and they would somewhat "interact" with it by overlapping it, and all around the model would be the titles and writing to stories in the magazine, and they would kind of shape the model and just go all around them.

In the Forest of words

This cover deals with a lot of words to draw people in with their words. They would create different poses and photos too to also draw them in. They would include lots of titles, and some even larger than the title. In these, a lot of the time the words overlap some of the image.

My Favorite Cover

Harper's Bazaar, March 2014, Lady Gaga
"Eyes closed, surrounded by a cut-out Carolina Herrera neckpiece, Lady Gaga looks like she's ready to explode. Photographed by Terry Richardson, what compels about the cover is both the graphics and the rare stillness of a superstar. Here, cut-out means a knockout."

I really like this photo, because it focuses in onto the girl's face, but not in such a plain way. It still all angles in to show what the subject is, but the rest of the picture still has a contribution and a flare. They make her look very white, but it kind of adds to the snowflake type design, as if she were the center of it. They are trying to show the uniqueness of each individual superstar, and I think it's cool the way they explain it. Like snowflakes, they're all so much different. The way they decorate the picture really draws your attention and it's very pleasing to the eye.

purple

CE 4.3

1) Zika is in Travis Country, It's linked to birth defects, it has been found accretive in saliva and urine, pregnant women are at risk, there's no vaccine for zika
2) They have an experiment to use more renewable energy, and they're putting in a huge solar plant
3) electrician, plumber, massage therapist
4) Denver Broncos 24-10
5) Cynthia Lee rides on the oil can harry's float in the 2013 gay pride parade in austin

1) My favorite was pedal through the powder, because it;s just a pretty simple picture. It's all white, and then an older man is just riding a bike through all of the snow. I find it a little silly honestly.
2) I think probably an interesting photo would be shadow dancing. I always knew about groundhog day, it's just so weird to see that people actually participate with a groundhog to say whether it;s spring or winter. I find it so random.
3) The most boring picture is probably counted by hand. It does get a little more interesting as you read what the sheets of paper are, but overall just if you're judging if it's pleasing to the eye, it pretty boring looking.

Self Portraits

2. Play with Eye Contact

3. Break the Rules of Composition

Casual portrait

I chose this picture, because it has a lot of simplicity and even though the main subject isn't the lake, it still really shows in the back but still has simple in the front.



Environmental portrait

I like this picture, because it's simple and how its taken and shows the length of the guitar down to the man that plays it.






self portrait

I like this picture, because it makes the boy fit into the background, and they blend the dark with dark and light with light and then right at the horizon it changes with it.

1) an environmental photo is a picture of the subject in their environment where they're comfortable
2) a casual portrait is a picture with just a simple background and a simple picture and an environmental digs a little deeper into the subjects personal life and is taken in their comfortable environment.
3) get good lighting and a good area
