major project idea

The topic of my project is about what I did in school and personal life
I will interview my friends to know more about the activities we did and people from restaurants to know about their objects that have composition and people from a wedding
I will take photos of memories of this year of school in graphic design of objects and a event
I will search pictures on my cellphone and camera and on my blog of graphic design class

My project would be with video
I will use audio slideshow

For me is easier because you can describe a story with just pictures

I probably do this or start this when I found all my pictures to start putting it on the video I will captured on a wedding and a restaurant

I will transfer all the images maybe next class

My favorite cover

"Favorite" 



#15 Harper's Bazaar (April 1965)
This cover of Harper's Bazaar is a photograph of model Jean Shrimpton by photographer Richard Avedon. The cover of Shrimpton peering from behind a bright pink Day-Glo space helmet was designed by Art Directors Ruth Ansel and Bea Feitler. This photograph, with the Harper's Bazaar logo vibrating against it in acid green has been often reproduced as an emblem of the sixties.

I like the way this magazine looks because their portrait cover has on it  interesting things that catch your attention like the color and the subtitles, for a women is easy to buy it really quick. They used a model or artist and themes that any women want to know about it. The lighting is great because you can see so clear the lines is easy to read and the composition is magnificent. this magazine communicated to the whole people that fashion is important and beauty also so they give advise about it.

Year in review 2013.


The subject of matter in this photo was to feel interesting and astonishment. Some examples was because it has different types of exposures for example it is blurry on the background and has light on the bottom and on the top is dark also because on the central point of view is clear and with light. The techniques that the photographer use in this photo are landscape composition because the photographer want to take the shot were he want to make the central point.





The subject of matter in this photo was to feel tranquility and curiosity. It is because has a rule of composition called rule of thirds it makes interest the photo. The exposure was blurry because we can't see clear every subject  on the photo and is a little dark.


The subject of matter in this photo was to feel astonishment, fear, and nervous. It is because it has differents rules of composition, for example has balance, leading línes, symmetry and patterns, a little depht. The exposure is blurry on the back and in front is clear.
