Magazine Covers Part 2

Early Magazine Cover 

Name Of Magazine: Mothers Magazine 

Year Of Publication: 1844

Explanation: The way that I would explain this magazine cover is by saying that this cover is very old some where in the 1844 was that date that it was released to the public eye. i would also like to say that this magazine is not like the ones that we have in this thin of year. You can also see that this magazine only has the magazine title the publication date and last the cover as in the picture it does not have little headings telling you what it would have inside the magazine. That is my description for this early magazine cover.










The Poster Cover

Name Of Magazine: Life 

Year Of Publication: April 1952

Explanation: My explanation for this magazine is that it really doesn't have anything in it. I mean that this magazine is to boing its really doesn't catch your eye or anything. Their isn't enough colors at all in the magazine and it still doesn't give you any information in what their will be inside this magazine. In conclusion that is my description in this magazine.

Name Of Magazine: Glamour 

Year Of Publication: May 2009 

Explanation: My explanation for this magazine is the i really like it this has the magazine heading in it and it also has little information of what you will find in the magazine id actually sad it.

Photoshop Introduction

Crop Tool- This tool is very common and is used very often. The thing that this tool does is that i cuts off portions of your photo the way you would like it or just to make it smaller for your liking.

Lasso Tool- This tool is also common to many people. The use of this tools is that you select a part of your picture and it lets you draw on your photo. 

Text Tool- This by far the most common tool used to this day. The use of this tool is that it allows you to be able to add a test to your photo.

What buttons do you push to "Undo" a mistake you made?

What you would push to undo a mistake that you made all you do is press Command-Z(mac) or CTRL-Z(pc) therefore it will allow you to go back to your last action.

What can you open to "undo" more than one mistake? How do you open it?
If you want to undo more than one mistake than you would have to pull up the history palette you do this by going to windows-->history menu. The history palette docked in a bar on the right site of the screen. Click on the various icons to display the windows, or you can grab the windows and drag them to other parts of the screen.

How do you rotate an image?
In order to rotate an image all your have to do is go to the image menu and select image rotation. Most likely will have to select either 90 degrees Counter Clockwise (90 CCW), or 90 Clockwise (90 CW) depending on which way the photo is situated. Click 180 degrees if the photo is completely upside down.

If you don't like the initial cropping box you drew, how can you change it before you make your crop?

If the cropping box you drew was not exactly the way you liked it then all you have to do is click on your mouse cursor change into different arrows that indicate how that anchor point will shape the crop.

Under the heading "Resizing while Cropping" when you enter dimensions as you crop, what are you telling Photoshop to do as you crop your image? HINT: it involves ratios.

Basically you are telling Photoshop which dimensions the image should result in after your crop. This is sometimes at the center of some confusion because if you lock in dimensions, your crop box will be forced into a certain ratio.

What is the correct resolution for newsletters and newspapers?
Newsletters and newspapers are likely to require resolutions in the range of 150 to 200 ppi. 

What is the correct resolution for magazines?
Magazines are likely to prefer high resolution images of 250 ppi or more. 

Blog #2 - Best magazine covers of 2013 and the last 40 Years & My Favorite Cover

Favorite cover 

Winner

New York, November 12, 2013: "The City and the Storm"

Shot on the Wednesday evening after Hurricane Sandy hit, Iwan Baan’s photograph of Manhattan, half aglow and half dark, captured the larger story of a powerful city rendered powerless. A true viral phenomenon, the image became an instant icon of the event—magazine cover that many New Yorkers have saved for posterity. In fact, a poster version was offered for sale by the Museum of Modern Art. 

Critique

I would like to say that this magazine cover is absolutely fabulous. The reason that I really like it is because of how the photographer of this picture captured the real beauty of the city at night. I mean just looking at this photo is breath taking. I specifically love how the lights of the city look in it. Also can you talk about how amazing the view point that this photograph was taken at.I just don't have so many words for this its absolutely phenomenal. I would just like to say that  the photographer (Iwan Baan)of this photo was this was absolutely genius.
