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.

What do you think the biggest differences you might encounter using a DSLR or GoPro compared to your phone? There's a better chance that a DSLR camera will go in an out of focus more than a smartphone. DSLRs are also much more complex, and although hard to use, one can get better more HQ shots.  3. Now that you know what your assignment is, please list at least three ideas you have for creating video. 1) Weather changes from day to night  2) The growth of my mom's garden 3) How things in nature change daily 4.
