Magazines Part II

1) Image based covers are a very common approach for magazine designers. The cover with usually not contain any more than 3 people in the image. Also, you have to make it clear that the photo is corresponded with the type of publication and issue. Most of the time, the person on the magazine cover is the person that distributes that magazine. Some people will present the people in the photos in an unusual way, which makes the cover ore unique. 
Illustration based covers consist of drawing illustrations as the only image on the cover. Most people use drawings to portray something funny or unusual. Not many people use illustration based covers, but mostly people who sell their magazines independently use this method.
Type based magazine covers occur more than illustration based covers, but still don't occur often. This consists of many different letter forms, writing, words, and phrases. The words and letters chosen for the title sometimes speak louder than just a picture on a cover, which is important.
Concept based magazine covers incorporate all three styles in one. The goal is to make the audience understand what is happening on the cover just by looking at and reading it. The authors intentions for the mood of the magazine should be shown easily and understandable on the cover. 

2) Words help portray the theme of the magazine covers. The photos on the covers help give off a specific mood from the magazine, which can lead to more sales or less sales. A picture is very important but the words introduce the picture almost.

Josh Birnbaum Stories They don’t like boring and simple photos, weird angles, half faces, and blurry photos.   They like when people get in the middle of the action, humor...

HDR Preview

Image
1. To create an HDR image, you will need to adjust the exposure of the photo the make lighting either over exposed or under exposed. 2. You will need to use a tripod to create an HDR image because you all need multiple pictures from the same angle and position. 3. Someone might take an HDR image because it makes an image or setting look more dramatic, and create an appealing look. Also, they can enhance images to make them seem a lot better than they actually are.  4. Whenever we see the pictures merge together, the dark and light exposures will even out to create the perfect HDR image.

Landscape Photography

1. One website that you can use to learn about the location you are going to shoot is Google Maps. 2. One app that I might download to check for angles of my photographs would be an app that tells me what the weather is going to be like whenever I go shoot. I also would like to know when the sun rises and sets. 3. The biggest problem when shooting with a zoom lens is that the foreground and the background tend to merge together in the images. 4. Instead of using HDR method, you can use ND grad method to capture the most detail. 5.  In case of bad weather, you should bring a waterproof plastic bag for your camera, appropriate clothing, and many cloths to clean the camera lens. 6.  Pre-scouting could help you when shooting because you can shoot that location from a different viewpoint than all of the other photographers have shot it from before. 7.
