Magazines Pt. II

description of the main attributes of the covers (P1), the relationship between words and photo (P2)

        There are four types of magazine styles: image based, illustration based, type based and concept Based. In an image-based magazine cover, the main focus is/are the model/models. Chances are, the more popular and liked the celebrity is in the public eye, the more covers the company will sell. The perfect example of a more retro approach is an illustration based magazine. They have to be original (alike any cover), and most of the time, deliver a political message or humorous tones. Next is concept based covers. Concept-based covers can be a mixture of all magazine styles. They have to be immediately understood and simple, yet creative and deep. Lastly is the rarest approach: type based covers. These consist of only typed characters and when executed correctly, type based covers can be jaw-dropping and intriguing.
        The relationship between the words and the photograph on a magazine cover is significant because blending the characters with the subject, or having them in contrast with the topic makes for an intriguing, aesthetically pleasing cover. Therefore, more people will buy them, hence an increase in profit.

Sports warm up

why is this part of a winning sports portfolio assignment? This picture displays the light-hearted relationship between the coach and his players. It's also almost like a behind the scenes photo, and it's interesting to see serious athletes with their guard down. Also, the photo is framed well and captured at the perfect moment. What is the shutter speed? The shutter speed is high, at maybe around 1/1600 or so. Is this a key moment? Could it have been planned? This photo could have been planned beforehand. What advances/techniques are present in this photo? The photo is well balanced and the people form a nice line. The rule of thirds is used, and there's good contrast between the subject and the background.
