Magazine covers

1. Early magazine covers- The modeled these covers after book covers most of the time. They are richly decorated and symmetric. They dedicated the opening page to a title and table of contents. They also put descriptive words to describe the magazine on the cover too.

2. The poster cover- The cover picture wasnt related to the magazine, it depicted a "mood" in the reader. Not alot of words on the cover. The covers have to have a single focus, with a hint of a theme. Gives some kind of physical impression on you.

3. Pictures married to type- Lots of words on the cover. Lots of lines on the cover, cover lines draw attention to the cover. Looks like an advertisement cover. Photos play the role for the cover. Color seperation. Large title with models face covering it.

4. In the forest of words- Very vivid and cluttered. Cover lines were as important as the cover picture. Some have cover lines larger then the title itself. The cover reflects the culture of the time being. Bold graphic covers. Image and cover lines overlap usually.

Edited photos for contest

I think this is a good happy photo because the subject is smiling.

I think this is a good building photo because the "dark" black and white color makes it look older.

I think this represents Akins because the mascot is an eagle.

Welcome back blog

 
                                       I like this photo because the people show good emotions.
                                          I like this photo because my favorite color is purple.
I like this photo because the drama in the sky is awesomely captured.


1.
I loved the song "Someone like you" by Adele because it relates to my life. It makes me think of everyone else and their relationships. I want people to happy, and nthis song is sad, so I think people that are depressed shouldn't listen to this song.

2.

I liked this movie the best because it was hilarious. The movie is about 3 guys that get lost in Vegas because they got drunk. Their names are Allen, Stew, and Doug.

3.
I thought this was the best news story. Osama Bin Laden was a really bad guy, and he deserved to die for all the pain he caused the world. This was the biggest news story in 2011. 

4.
 The world series game was against the St. Louis Cardinals and the Texas Rangers. The cardinals won the 11th title. They played on October 28, 2011.
