Magazines part two
Early magazine covers typically had a small illustration or none at all. Because the bible was read primarily, sometimes the illustrations on the magazines would be an allegorical message requiring interpretation. They would usually have the table of contents for the magazine or something that says what would be in the magazine.
A poster cover magazine cover usually had no cover lines and a beautiful large picture/illustration that was not covered by the title of the magazine.
Pictures married to type is when the art and the text fit together on the cover in a cohesive way. There are cover lines and the is unique. The model could possibly be in a pose that you usual would not expect to see.
In the forest of words include intense photography instead of artistic illustrations on the covers. There is a big number of easily seen cover lines. Some of the cover lines could be bigger than the logo/title. Again the art and the text are cohesive and they go together well and it all fits on the page well.

Favorite cover
Vanity Fair, November 2014, Jennifer Lawrence
"Just before her intimate photos were hacked--and splashed across the Web--Jennifer Lawrence posed topless for Patrick Demarchelier for the cover of Vanity Fair's November issue. As part of the accompanying cover story, she decided to break her silence about one of the biggest scandals in Hollywood this year. The Guardian called her salvo "the end of the 'shamed starlet.'" So strong was the outpouring of social-media support for Lawrence's stance that The New York Times reported on the fact "fans took to Twitter to applaud her." Demarchelier's striking photos of the Hunger Games actress also helped spark a thoughtful debate about a woman's right to reveal her body. Lawrence (and the V.F. cover) made her message loud and clear: "It's my body, and it should be my choice."

They did a nice job of making their name stand out while still allowing the subject(Jennifer Lawrence) stand out. I really like what they did with the background. The leaves are not distracting, but they are appealing, and the leaves and water are calming.The lighting in the photo is also very appealing to the eyes. They lighted the subject really well, and because of the calm background they lighted it well so you can still see it but it is not distracting at all. I do not necessarily agree with what vanity fair and Jennifer Lawrence were talking about, but I do like that they are talking about women's rights.I like the fact that Jennifer is using her publicity to make a statement that is not fake. She seems to be telling her real opinion, and she does't seem to be faking what she is saying just to get paid. The text they choose to put on the cover is also appealing, it makes you want to read the inside of the magazine and figure out why they put the quote "Its my body, and it should be my choice."

portraits and self portraits
1. Alter your perspective
2. Frame an interesting composition/obscure part of your subject
3. play with eye contact
Environmental Portrait:
I choose this environmental portrait because it is mysterious, but has meaning. It shows the type of environment where these kids could be living, but it show so little the person looking at the photo wants to see more. It leaves the person who wants to see the photo wanting to see more.
Photography Self Portrait:
I choose this photography self portrait because I think it is mysterious. Again it leaves the person that see the photo wondering about what was happening during this, and what inspired this. It makes me want to know more behind it. It allows you to create so many different stories in your head of how this photo could be created and inspired. You wonder what the subject it thinking too.
Casual Portrait:
I choose this casual portrait because it is happy. I like how the kids are interacting with each other. I like how intrigued the little boy looks when he is looking at his brother who is interacting with the flowers. I really like the environment they are in. The picture makes me feel happy and calm, so I enjoy it.
1. The characteristics of a environmental portrait is that there is some form of the environment that the subjects interacts with possibly normally.
2. The difference between environmental and a casual portrait is that an environmental portrait is focused more on the environment the picture is taken in. A casual portrait is focused more on the people in the picture.
3. To get a really good self portrait you have to find a good background and you need to make it meaning full in a way. It should not just be of your face. They need to be personal and moody. You need to show your personality and yourself.
4. For an environmental portrait I would like to get a very good lighting photo on a day where the sun is shining. I would like to get a photo focused on the environment more. For a self portrait I would like to dig into my emotions and I would like to take a close up with a calm, but fu background. For a casual portrait I would like to take a picture of someone in my family just being themselves.
