Front Pages of the World

1. What is your favorite newspaper front page? Why?
 My favorite front page that i saw was the one for McAllen, Texas. I liked it because there were many interesting stories written with excellent subtitles, the whole front page was super organized and the colors made everything pop out even more to catch the readers attention.

2. What is your favorite headline from that newspaper? Why are you interested in it?
My favorite headline was the one that said "Teenage Terror." I am interested in it because those two words say a lot. It makes you wonder what the story is about and it gives the reader more of a suspense.

The front page has 6 stories on it.

4. What do you  notice that all newspaper front pages have in common?
All of the newspapers have a front title that they use for every cover and they also have a major story on the front page.

5. What are things that vary on the front pages of different newspapers? 
The things that vary on the front pages are languages, fonts, photos, story lines. Every front page is completely unique.

Magazine Covers Part II & InDesign Part I

1. Early Magazine Covers-
The early magazine covers usually only had a title and a table of contents. They wanted to model the covers of the magazine after the covers of books. There were no descriptions about what was going to be in the magazine. Sometimes they had symbolic covers to show what kind of magazine it is without giving too much information about what the contents were inside.

2. Poster Covers-
Poster covers were designed to look like they were going to be framed & hung up. In the begininning many Poster Covers had no relation to what was going to be told in the magazine. Many magazines had beautiful photographs & illustrations on the cover. Some big magazines today still use poster covers, although it is rare.

3. Pictures Married to Type-
Pictures married to text have a photo with it's background written across while the main subject of the photo pops out. Cover lines are colorful and bold that way they can draw the audiences attention and compete with other magazines. These types of poster are still being used today and are usually extremely competitive.

4. In the Forest of Words-
In the forest of words magazine cover lines are usually as important as cover art. Cover lines are very vivid and detailed and usually appear in front of the cover model and cover up most of the photograph. Photos are designed a certain way to allow for the many big cover lines.

Happy, Akins, Building Photos

This picture shows Akins because it shows the students and how close the students on our campus are. This picture is very colorful and it shows some of the students personality. This is a good example of my work because the picture came out perfect. It wasn't too dark or too light and everything fit together very well.


This photo helps to show the architecture in the building. The lines on top of the doors make the photo sort of pop out and it helps frame the doors. It really shows how creative the person that built this building was. This is a good example because i made sure that everything was lined up perfectly and i made sure i got all of the architectural look in this photo.

This photo really shows happy because the person in this picture really shows how much the student is enjoying life at school. He is having fun with the photo and it brings out his personality. This is a good photo because it relates to the theme. I did try to adjust ISO and the aperture to make sure that the photo did not come out too dark but the top part of the picture seems really dark. So i could of had a better example of happy.
