Magazine Cover Review 3

http://ivyphotojblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/magazine-covers.html

1. "Beginning Photography" and "Common Issue: High School Edition" by Ivy ___
2. The covers are very cute and have happy emotion to them!
3. Not putting your cover lines directly onto the subject. Having them off to the side with some text touching the subject would look more organized.
4. The bright text on the cover was very appealing!
5. The bar code was present though a bit large.
6. I would pick up these magazines because they have are about things I am interested in. I am a high schooler and I like photography!
7. I can tell that these are a portrait and a self portrait.

Magazine Cover Peer Review 2

1. "Leisure Illustrated" and "Portrait Times" created by Rebecca ___.
2. I love how the text is behind the subject of the photo in "Leisure Illustrated". The other magazine has a wonderful cover photo.
3. The title in "Portrait Times" seems to just be the only text in that color. I feel that it was just out of the color scheme.
4. The puppy in "Leisure Illustrated" and the floral shirt in "Portrait Times" attracted me the most.
5. The bar codes are well sized and placed on the covers.
6. The magazines (according to the cover lines) have topics I would read.
7. I can tell that these are most likely a self portrait and a portrait.

1. "Mom" and "Limerence" were created by Maddi Lynch
2. The magazine covers are great photos of the subject. Well shot and the text fits well with the magazines.
3. I feel making the cover lines a bit larger may improve the magazines style. Other than that, they are truly amazing.
4. The black and white cover with the self portrait made me want to review these covers. I think its so creative.
5. Yes. The bar codes are in great places and do not take up too much space.
6. I would because it is very stylish and has a wonderful photo on the cover. (And if I was ever a mom looking for Parenting Mags., I would so pick up "Mom")
7. Yes. The "Mom" magazine is a portrait and "Limerence" is a self portrait of Maddi.

Prompt Peer Review

1. My favorite photo is "The End". I love the way the photo is cropped and the simplicity of it.
2. I honestly can say I don't have a photo I like the least; they are all very wonderful.
3. I love how the photos are clear and simple.
4. If anything could be shot different, "Pose" could be focused in more on the subject and not have the distraction of the pillar next to him.
5. "Eight" was captured perfectly with the eight flowers!
6. I think all the photos we captured correctly and clearly. I really enjoyed these prompt pictures from this photographer.

Movie: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
I felt that this movie was worth the hype. I enjoyed the movies new characters and older ones. zThe actors did an amazing job at portraying their characters, and BB-8 was such a cute droid. I look forward to new movies in the Star Wars series.

2. I want to continue being vegetarian, along with trying to focus on more of my talents.

Welcome Back!

This photo is so wonderful because the seal is taking a ride on a whale! 

Cats are my favorite! I love this photo because of how the kitty is touching its nose to the judges.

I remember learning about these terraces in Geography class and I really this this photo catches the beauty and the hard work that goes into this adaptation.
