The Paper Forest

Front Pages of the World

My favorite newspaper front page was The Valley Morning Star from Harlington, TX because of its vibrant colors, layout, and exciting design.

My favorite headline from this newspaper is "Big Splash For SPI" because the word splash was written in yellow which stood out from all the other text and caught my eye. Also, behind the word splash was a cutout of, well, a splash that went over some boundaries on the page. It was really dynamic and interesting.

There are three stories on the front page of this newspaper.
All newspapers have the title of the newspaper at the top of the front page. The largest photo that takes up  a lot of the page is for the most important story. Titles are the largest font size, headings are the second largest, and the story text is very small. The stories are small, because they continue on other pages.

On the front page, the layouts are very diverse. The placement and size of text, photos, and stories create a very diverse array of newspaper front pages. Essentially, all the aspects off a front cover mentioned in the answer to question #4 are done in different ways by each newspaper.

Loan Star Dispatch Issue #4

PHOTOGRAPHY
A1- Squad Goals
I think this photo is really good because it displays the photo of the cheerleaders very well. It focuses on one cheerleader with multiple cheerleaders around her and the football field and football players behind them. the lighting is very well especially sense the photo is taken at night. the rules of photographer used in this photos is the main ideas and rule of thirds.

B1- Jumping Hurdles

This picture is a good action shot of a girl on a horse jumping over the fence. its a good shot because it displays the whole moment very well. the lighting in the shot is not the best because the horse and the girl are facing against the sun. The rule of photography is action shot. The photo is exposed properly.

B7- Practice Makes Perfect
The picture is of a kid Mathew lane showing off his yoyo skills and the photo is a really cool action shot in black in white the picture looks a lot better in black in white because it takes a basic photo and makes it a lot more interesting. rule of Photography is Black and White photo. The main subject is the senior Mathew Lane.

B8- A Balancing Act
The picture is a nice picture of three gymnasts all balancing on a balance beam and the photo is well balanced with the three girls because they all progressively get taller from left to right. The rule of Photography is Balance and rule of thirds  and lines of symmetry. The photo is well exposed.

My favorite photos is the picture of Mathew lane the kid with the yo yo. I like this photo because I like how the photo  is in black and white and i like the action shot of him and the yo-yo.

My least favorite photo is labels Critique. I am not a huge fan of this photo because it is a little boring and its meant to display the kids science fair project but the kid and the man are covering it up with there bodies.

Phobia Project

A. An extreme or irrational fear of something. 

B. Acrophobia- Fear of hights.
Eisoptrophobia- Fear of mirrors, or seeing oneself in a mirror. 
Enochlophobia- Fear of crowds. 
Nudophobia- Fear of nudity.
Verbophobia- Fear of words.

C. Nudophia- For this fear I was thinking of having someone taking a shower with clothes on. I would have all of the lights on except for the over shower lights. My brother can be the person taking a shower. 

Verbophobia- For this fear I was going to have a close up of someone with tape over their mouth to show that they don't like words. They would not have a happy expression on their face. I will shoot this in my friends room with her back wall in the background. 

Eisoptrophobis- For this fear I will have someone getting ready at their sink, but with no mirror on the wall. They can be putting on makeup, looking at the wall like they would a mirror. This will be a vertical photo. 

D. Nudophia- I will shoot with just the overhead light so that thy person is the only thing that you focus on. 
Vebophia- I will shoot with a black wall behind the person so that it creates a darker mood. 
Eisotrophobis- I will shoot behind the person so that you can tell that normally they use a mirror.
