Photography

I learnt about the photography on covers of magazines in general and how photographers take into account certain features when taking the images... rule of thirds etc. I have compared two magazine covers in a document taking into account rule of thirds, colour scheme and formality to show my knowledge of magazine photography.  

Representations

I analysed a various selection of music magazines (one of each genre) I then completed a mini exercise where i researched the artists of each particular genre and then chose an image that i would put on a magazine of that genre. I listed why each photo had the appropriate representations for that particular magazine.

Analysis of Music magazine cover

My first task was to analyse a cover of a music magazine. This task began with finding a magazine to analyse, this was a simple task as i just searched for a "Kerrang cover" on the Google images search engine. But when choosing i made sure it was a generic cover as to being a limited/special edition cover. I depicted and labeled all the common features on the cover, it was then presented it in a Microsoft word document.

Web programs


Because there is a limit on blogger and lots of other helpful web-programs i decided to sign up for various ones to make my blog more entertaining as well as easier to browse and use.

1. "Flikr" - Flikr is a photo sharing website that allows the user to upload masses of photos and to put them into galleries/folders for ease of use.

2. "Slideshare" - Slideshare is a program that allows the user to upload whole documents to be viewed or downloaded with-out compression.
