1. the model's lips were made bigger and more even, Her neck was made longer, her eyes were brought down, her neck was made skinnier, eyes were made bigger, cheeks/outline of her face became slimmer, the contour on her face was morphed a bit, and they made her face more ovular.

2.

• shoulders made more defined

• stomach was made skinnier 
• backs of thighs were slimmers down
• legs were made longer
• calves and feet were slimmed
• neck made longer and skinnier

• bottom half of her body was brought down to make it slimmer

3.

• her stomach/waist was made really small
• her chest was morphed as well
• they drew more hair on her head

4. No, it is not acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo. By doing this, you are basically creating an entirely new person. You are creating a false example of what people should look like. And we wonder why society is so messed up… this is why.

5. There are circumstances where it could be even more ethically wrong to manipulate something like this. I think photos could always be manipulated even more, and it would be even worse if you didn't have permission from the individual you are photographing to completely change their appearance.

6. A slight change, like maybe highlighting their features a bit would be considered okay. But as son as you change the shape of their body noticeably is when  it's considered wrong.

7. Fashion photography is simply made in order to sell something, whether it be a pair of shoes or a clothing brand. so in order to sell their products, they must make their models look desirable so people around the world will want to look like them, causing them to by their products.

Photojournalism is telling a story through photos.

8. each photo is a representation of society's definition and single image of what people should look like. They take average looking people and turn them into something desirable so people will want to be like them which is extremely wrong.

9. So we know what's wrong and what's right. Completely hanging these women's appearances is completely and utterly wrong. the final manipulated product technically isn't even the photo the photographer shot.

10. None of these videos are about guys, because society mainly targets women and tells hem that they have to fit into this tiny area of their definition of perfect in order to be pretty. This isn't really the case with men.

magazines part 2

      Over the years, magazine covers have changed drastically. In earlier magazine cover, most consisted of only a tile and the publication date, with maybe an illustration. people tended to make them look more like book covers at this time. Next form the 1890s to the 1960s, the poster cover started coming into play. Then, pictures started becoming married to type, which means that people started adding cover lines which are basically just series and series of sub-headlines. Lastly, in modern time, we have started to make covers that use intense photography with a large amount of cover lines.

Finalist

The New York Times Magazine, November 24, The Flight Risk

Photographer: Martin Schoeller
Designer: Arem Duplessis
"For this cover story on the U.S. women’s ski-jumping team, we featured the Olympic hopeful Sarah Hendrickson as photographed by Martin Schoeller. Schoeller captures the competitive spirit of Hendrickson, who wears her competition gear, in her body posture and intense gaze."

The main reason why I like this cover is the contrast of colors and the simplicity of it. The red of Hendrickson's suit and the blue of her ski mask stand out massively against the grey background. Not to mention the lighting and exposure is perfectly executed. When looking at the photo you can feel the immense level of intensity in Hendrickson's eyes. As the description stated, the photographer captured her competitive spirit being channeled through her intense gaze. The white font contrasts nicely with what she's wearing, and doesn't try to steal our attention away from the olympian. This cover is simple, but effective. It's the overall element of simplicity displayed throughout that makes it so wonderful.

magazine tips

when designing my magazine cover I should think about:

1. trying not to judge my cover on screen.
2. if the cover is popping out from its background, don't weaken it by fussing with it.
3. making sure there is a dominant element
4. sparking curiosity within viewers
5. making the image appealing/irresistible to readers

1A) I had trouble picking just one image that was the most powerful, so I chose four of them. The ones i chose were 7, 18, 36, and 47 because of the emotion on the subjects faces.


1B)

Set #1 At home in Denver- images #1 through #7
Set #2 at basic training- images #8 through #48
Set #3 in Iraq- images #49 through #70
Set #4 back in Denver- images #71 through #82



1C) The most powerful set was probably set #2 at basic training because there was so much emotion and determination displayed in the photos.

3A) Present tense

3B) the captions help to provide information and tell whats going on in the photo.

Getting ready to board the plane, Ian looks back one last time at what he's leaving behind. The troops were traveling to Iraq that day in order to fight for their country.


The night prior to Ian's deployment, he embraces his friends Buddha and Cody one last time. Ian's short stay at home was filled with tears and hugs.


At basic training camp, doctor Moe inspects and dresses Ian's foot injury. Ian had twisted his ankle during training the day prior.
