ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS:

4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not? I don't think it is ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance because it is changing and destroying the show of there natural beauty.

5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation? Yes there is a circumstance that could be more ethically wrong which is  changing someone that is a plus size to making them skinny. That gives a message to say that you aren't beautiful unless you are skinny.

6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't? Making little changes taking away blemishes are OK but, changing your size and adding hair are not OK.

7. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism. PhotoJournalism is about taking photographs and what comes out of the photo through emotion. On the other hand fashion photography deals with how the person appeals or appears through beauty.

8. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each? Photojournalism does connect to reality because, you aren't changing or distorting the photograph to make the subject prettier, unlike fashion photography.

9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos? To show how fashion photography manipulates photographs but not in a good way where photojournalism we are just changing the levels and smaller things.

10. Why are none of these videos about guys??? Guys are probably not in these videos maybe because, it is more of a woman like thing to do… to make them more beautiful. They don't manipulate guys photos because they don't want to take away their natural beauty.

Magazine Part 2

Early magazine Covers are drastically different from the kinds of magazines that we create now. The magazines contain a table of contents on the cover and are printed in black and white, unlike the ones we have now. The magazines didn't include information on what would be inside the magazine and they would have publication dates. The Poster Cover is a photograph cover that doesn't relate to anything inside the magazine yet its created to set a mood. They contain a little cover line that presents the theme. They only present such little information on the cover. In Pictures Married to Type the subject is mostly in front blocking a little bit of the cover title. They most likely did this to draw attention to the subject and avoid the cover lines. In Forest of Words all of the magazines mostly contained a couple short captions in front or on the side of the subject that are sometimes bigger than the title. In some of these covers there is literally no space on the magazine cover because they are full of the captions.

I think this is a really great magazine cover because of the way it draws attention to me. The color of the suit and the goggles she has on are vivid and the colors give the magazine pop. I like how simple the background is and how there wasn't any words popping out that would draw my attention away. The words "The Flight Risk" are in bold and are centered in a way that makes me quickly focus straight to it. I love how she isn't smiling because it gives the magazine cover a dramatic look. Overall this magazine cover is amazing.

Magazine Tips

The 5 things that you should be thinking about when you design a magazine cover are:

• Emotionally irresistible.

• If the cover pops out from its background, don’t weaken it by fussing with it.

• Arousing Curiosity.

• Efficient, fast, easy to scan.

• If you are making a magazine out of paper it is best not to rely on it virtually.
