Malcolm X Addressing Black Muslim Rally in Chicago1963

This picture is formal and informal because he is dressed up but then hes not posing or looking directly into the camera. This is a hard lighting portrait; the light is shining on the right side of his face. To create this effect you would have to have your subjected in the dark and have a powerful light in a cirtain area of the room or in some sort of angle?!

Langston Hughes Poems

Merry-Go-Round

Where is the Jim Crow section On this merry-go-round, Mister, cause I want to ride?Down South where I come from White and colored Can't sit side by side। Down South on the train There's a Jim Crow car। On the bus we're put in the back—But there ain't no back To a merry-go-round! Where's the horse For a kid that's black? Langston Hughes

i read for about 20 minutes.

#5 Esquire (May 1969)
One of the most iconic of Art Director George Lois’s creations, the May 1969 cover of Esquire juxtaposed the celebration of pop culture while deconstructing celebrity. The image of a drowning Andy Warhol was a friendly spoof of the artist’s famous Campbell Soup artwork, a pervading symbol of the Pop Art movement.

word critique
i really like this one because it expresses what Andy Warhol is about! He was know for painting a big picture of Campbell soup and called it pop art! So the picture of him drowning in the can represents what hes know for and does. plus its a really neat picture. The lighting of the picture seems to be coming from behind him in the picture,casting a light shadow in front of him

Cover History

Cover types
1. Early Magazine Covers
2. The Poster Cover
3. Pictures Married to Type
4. In the Forest of Words

In the early magazine covers they tend to model them after book covers and they didn't really apply to whats inside sometimes they even put the table of contents on the front page. Sometimes they would just put symbols for their covers.
In the poster cover magazines they had no cover lines and their covers looked like they were meant to be up and framed on a wall. And most covers would probably be art or one big photograph! their cover lines would most likely be found at the bottom of the magazine. so many magazines took toward their covers in the early part of the 20Th century.
In pictures married to type magazines relied heavily on cover lines to draw readers inside the magazine, their covers were often symbolic and were related to issues. they often had large titles and models on the front page in certain positions with cover lines right beneath them and the covers would be colorful and nice.
In the forest of words, the magazines had lots of words on the cover with art and photographs some with more exposed models and the main cover consist on what was going to be inside of the magazine rather then just having a cover not related to anything on the inside.

Fashion Ethics

• they lifted her head
• widend her eyes and moved them lower
• made her neck slimer
• raised her eyebrows
• resized her head

I don't think its okay to change someones appearance.

In some circumstances some are worse than others by changing the whole intire picture completely.

The types of chances that are okay is adjusting the light and shaping the photo.

The difference between photojournalism and fashion photography is that the fashion industry changes the peoples appearance into making them look way different then what they appear and in journalism we don't change a lot because that's wrong and what we basically change is the lighting if needed and some cropping.

The relationship between reality of both is fashion isn't really reality and photo j. is! :]

Photojournalism Ethics

• Photojournalism ethics should be absolute because if everyone has the same rule and regulations then it makes it much easier for everyone else instead of making up your own rules while you go cause if you just do that then its a better chance of messing up.
• I think a photo can capture the truth because say if you see someone doing something and you happen to have a camera. That picture would be proof to prove your point. Thats how some people black mail others.
• im not sure :[
• its important that news organizations have clearly defined ethical standards because if they don't then people can be printing out lies and everything will just be wrong.

manipulation

I think posting Oprah's head on Ann Margaret's body is wrong because everyone knows Oprah does not appear like that! And they probably didn't ask her if it was okay! i bet when she saw it, it probably made her upset. Like on that one movie Mandy Moore plays in "A Walk To Remember" she plays a girl named Jaime [jay-me] and everyone picks on her and after a play she preforms in they paste her head on this "bathing suit model's body"? i don't know but yeah it pretty much made her upset.


However this photo is different. I don't think its wrong at all because all they did was move the pyramids closer together to accommodate this vertical National Geographic cover. and i see nothing wrong with that. Its not like their doing any harm toward anyone and its not like they added or cropped something in there so its good. :]
