Magazines Part 2

Early Magazine Covers:
Early magazine covers were usually a title and a table of contents or they were modeled over book covers and had a title and publication date. They also sometime added a small black and white picture or drawing that was for a decretive purpose. Often times there was no cover at all and they began the article on the first page.

The Poster Cover:
The poster cover was a picture someone drew that took up the entire magazine cover. Often times the picture had no relevance to any of the articles in the magazine and was just there for a decretive purpose. People still do posters covers now but with actual photographs that san relate to the content in the magazine.

Pictures Married to Types:
This relied on cover lines to draw the reader in. They also covered part of the magazine name with the model placed in interesting poses. They made the title more fancy and interesting and added cover lines down the sides of the magazine.

In the Forest of Words:
In this type the word were just as important as the pictures. They had large words and a large amount of words on the cover that said what was in the magazine. They still have large pictures but they don't often necessarily have to do mush with the content of the articles.

My Favorite Cover

Vanity Fair, January 2012: "Lady Gaga"

What really caught my eye was the outfit that she is wearing. The bright red color and the huge hat are appealing to the eye and interesting to look like because it is interesting. Also the hat causes shadows on her face that are a good contrast against all the brightness of the cover. She looks really happy and in her element posing for the picture and her face looks relaxed and like shes enjoying doing the shoot. The magazine also has the name Lady Gaga really big on the cover. There is no mistaking what the main feature is about so if people like Lady Gaga then they would know to check out that magazine. Also the name of the magazine is really big so the magazine is very recognizable.

It is not ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like shown in the videos because it is not showing that person's true beauty and it gives the people who see those photos a false since of beauty that is not achievable and cause the eating disorders we have today. I think any change somebody makes to a person's appearance is ethically wrong to the same extent because it all masks that person't true appearance. I think maybe taking out blemishes or scars are ok because those are things that the person might want removed but everything else is wrong. Fashion photography tries to hide the truth of a person's appearance while photojournalism tries to tell the complete truth and a story through one or more pictures. Fashion photography is what you see in ads and magazines that people try to look like, but what most of the people like in magazines is not obtainable unless the person does it through unhealthy means. People look at photojournalism in newspapers in print and online and they look at the photos to get a better understanding of the story but most of the time the photos are not altered to they tell the complete truth. I think you are showing us these videos to show us what not to do to the people in our photos. None of the videos are of guys because a guys body is not as high scrutinized as a woman's so the editors don't change their body's as drastically as the do the woman's.
