Favorite Cover

Online Description: Stephen Colbert was wonderful but the baby had all sorts of diva-like demands—a full trailer with a plasma screen tuned to "Teletubbies," a Dior Homme diaper, and at least one of Pamela Anderson's breasts. It wasn't easy, but it's what we had to work with. Colbert was photographed by Mark Seliger - See more at: http://www.magazine.org/asme/magazine-cover-contests/2007-winners-finalists#sthash.32t3SwD9.dpuf

My Critique: Stephen Colbert, one of my favorite late night television hosts, poses here with an infant version of himself, which would give us readers a chuckle and make us wonder why he's holding that! The cover line says "Stephen Colbert for President" which makes me think all sorts of things that maybe Colbert has done or is starting to do. The lighting quality is great, doesn't distract me from the subjects of the photo. The smaller cover lines are red, white, and blue, inspiring the patriotism in Americans.

Semester Final Exam Part 3

 The photo above shows leading lines. The lines on the racetrack take you all the way from the left and lead you to the finish along with Usain Bolt.  Another great factor that made this photo was the looks of struggle in all of their faces.

 This photo above shows framing. The walls of leaves help isolate the subject away from anything else. The man is made easier to see because of these frames of leaves.

 The photo above is a good example of rule of thirds. Mitt Romney is put in the bottom right corner, which is where I imagine the 9 even squares cut. He is placed directly where they intersect making me look at him.

This photo here shows good balance to me. The people on the left balance out the people on the right and vice versa. Also the dog (subject) in the middle is made easier to find because of this balance.
