4 Action Photos

 Pearl is rushing away from a wasp thursday afternoon in the gap between the fine arts building and main building. Pearl ended up not being stung but the photographer was.

 Pearl is racing to the wall to tag it in a game of wall ball late thursday afternoon between the fine arts building and the main building. The player accidentally hit Pearl with the ball trying to throw it at the wall.

 In a vicious game of tag, Pearl escapes from the tagger and is safe on the base in the late afternoon of Thursday. The tagger tripped on a ledge reaching for Pearl.

Pearl poses for the champion shot after the games of wall ball and tag in front of the doors of the main building. The other players were jealous of her because her photo will be posted in the library.

2. FBI releases photos of 2 bomb suspects. It interests me because of the resent bombings and I'm wondering if it has something to do with that or if there was a bombing in Sitka.

3. There are 6 stories on the front page.

4. I noticed that a lot of the front pages have 2 to 3 photos and have 3 to 5 stories on them. The headlines are definitely bigger than the story fonts. There is normally 1 big photo to show a big event.

magazine part 2

early magazine covers - they are really simple. they are like book covers; title and publication data.
                                      they also had cover lines which were like little sub titles of whats in the  
                                      magazine. and they had picture symbols of what they stand for. like if they  
                                      were a strong hold then the had pillars.




poster covers - from 1890's- 1960's. they were magazines that needed no words. they had a main  
                        picture on the front. the picture needed no words like it explained it all. pictures are        
                        worth a thousand words. there are no cover lines or themes and the logo does not cover          
                        the image.


Pictures married to type - they have cover lines, large title, and model that is in an unusual pose.
                                        placement matters in the pictures married to type magazines. if it is not  
                                        positioned the right way, it can look really messy. also the placement and how
                                        the model looks draws in the person to look at it, and when they see the cover
                                        lines, its like a teaser so the person will look inside the magazine and buy it.


the forest of words - it has cover lines, large title, and models. sometimes the cover lines were larger
                                than the title to bring in the audience. sometimes they would have the picture really  
                                large and provocative so the men audience would pick it up. most of the time the
                                models were to pose in ways that make it look like the cover lines were supposed
                                to be in that place.

FAVORITE

Nobody embodied 2011 Leading Man more than the brash and enormously talented Ryan Gosling. In a way, we predicted his moment: Coming off a powerful performance in the indie film Blue Valentine, he had yet to fully display his range—in a comedy (Crazy, Stupid, Love), a political drama (The Ides of March), and a controversial action film (Drive) that captures the slow-boil sexiness he brings to every role. Gosling is a throwback to an old-school stardom, one that prized relaxed confidence and elegance, which is why we paired him with Mario Testino, the classiest photographer around.



the color of the font is kind of hard to see. the font is a little too small and the color kind of blends into the grey of his suit also with his hair and the red font. the background might need to be another color or  he should be in a different suit because his white shirt kind of blends in with the white background.

magazine tips

1. Familiar recognition from issue to issue (that’s the brand)

2. Emotionally irresistible (that’s the image’s appeal)

3. Arousing curiosity (that’s to pull the casual glancer in)

4. Intellectually stimulating, interesting (that’s to promise benefits)

5. Efficient, fast, easy to scan (that’s showing off the service)



Four ways to judge your cover:
1. Covers are the prime sales tool that must be judged realistically both for content as well as form (i.e., what they show and how they show it). Never trim a printout, mount it beautifully, and display it with its alternates on the finely polished surface of the conference-room table. Designers love to do this, because to them, the cover is enormously important (and so it is, but not necessarily for their reasons). That framing, matting and mounting in a formalized presentation cheats you into believing that what you are being shown is “art” that you must judge on aesthetic grounds, liking it or loathing it … “Can we make the type a tad redder?” Few magazines qualify for covers that are “art.”

2. Instead, ask the designer to print out all the alternates as hard copy, trim them accurately to magazine size and glue them onto old issues, so you can see them as close to the real thing as possible. Now, toss them on a tabletop, so they flop around and overlap like real magazines do.

3. If you can spare the time, go to the local drugstore or bookstore, and sneak your upcoming issue in among the other magazines on the racks. Does it hold its own or does it disappear? To ensure that atmosphere of realism, I persuaded that multititle publisher to invest in a full-color, life-size photomural of a newsstand and have it permanently installed. We attached clips and glass shelves on it to hold the mock-ups. The realistic circumstances not only improved the noticeability of the covers, but reduced friction between art/edit/circulation/management, because everybody could see what the reality of selling was about.

4.If selling on newsstands is not your problem, but competition among executives is, gather copies of what your targets might be reading, including your competition, of course. Mock up an executive’s in-box or tabletop arrangement in some way, and place yours among them. That is the realistic way to judge your cover. Keep that still-life stack for next month’s headaches
