Abandoned Theme parks
1. I would really like to visit the prehistoric forest in Irish hills, Michigan. i think it would really freaking awesome to visit this park because rally like dinosaurs an just stuff that happened before humans roamed the earth. To me it would feel like im in a movie or something exploring an abandoned theme park with a camera. I would take picture to make it look like a documentary. Or i would take picture of that different types of dinosaurs and put them in categories.

3. Thermal Springs, Pamukkale, Turkey/ Fingals cave, Scotland/ Hvitserkur, North Iceland/ Plitvice Lakes, Croatia.

5. I think this would be fun to document because there is like rocky snow cap mountains and a lake. what really interests me about this place is that there can be a little bit of snow and then a full lake that is right next to each other. I would really want to take under water picture looking up at the snow cap mountains. I would also really think it would be cool too take picture from on top of a really tall tree. I would take picture during the morning and at night.
6. I would need a lot of equipment. I would need an under water camera, an regular really good camera flash and multiply camera lenses. This trip would be very very expensive because I would need all new equipment and plan tickets would be expensive because this is now like the other side of the world. I would stay at this place for about a two months every season to get a collection of photos, This place might be located in a national park so couldn't step in some parts of ground but i can always work around it.

The image on the cover depends on the nature of the magazine. The nature of the image has to flow and make sense with the style publication.

4. Concept Based: The concept magazine cover is a mix of all three of the magazine cover types. This cover type should be used when you are trying to get a strong message across. The concept cover type can be used in an funny way too. One really important thing about concept covers are that they have to almost instantly understandable. This cover is also rare. Business, news weekly, and independent magazines use this cover type.
What is the relationship between words and photos on magazine covers and why is this important? The relationship between words and photos is that they both have flow and go together. Whatever the words on the magazine say the photo has to relate to the words. This is important because you want the reader to be interested when they see the cover.

Website description: "Vogue’s annual Power issue features the actors, musicians, and personalities at the top of the cultural heap, and in 2013 no one held more social currency than Vogue’s March cover girl, Beyoncé. For his spare but glamorous portrait, Patrick Demarchelier seems to capture all of the singer, business mogul, fashion icon, wife, and, mother’s multi-hyphenated talent and beauty in a single snap. It’s a picture as formidable, yet likeable, as “Queen Bey” herself."
My critique: I think that this magazine cover is very appealing. The cover is very simplistic and show the beauty of a glamour shot. I don't like the way they positioned her body. The position of her body looks very awkward and UN natural. Since this issue of vogue is called the "power issue" they made a very good choice of picking Beyonce. Since vogue used Beyonce for the cover all of her fans are of course gonna buy one of the magazines with her on it. Vogue obviously thought this one through. Vogue made this cover very simplistic but yet very glamours at the same time. By putting Beyonce on the power issue they are trying to portray Beyonce as a power women because of how much success she has had over the years.

Magazine tip
When making for magazine cover keep in mind less is more. Make your cover irresistible , make it appeal to the consumers. The cover should display the service you are providing for the customer. Make sure that there is something in it for them. Gather copies that your targeted consumer might be reading so you know what they like. Your magazine should stand out from the competition so people will take the time to stop and look at yours and not the competitions magazine.

Portraits
Tips
1. Alter Your Perspective
Most portraits are taken with the camera at (or around) the eye level of the subject. While this is good common sense – completely changing the angle that you shoot from can give your portrait a real WOW factor.
2. Play With Backgrounds
The person in your portrait is the main point of interest – however sometimes when you place them into different contexts with different backgrounds you can dramatically alter the mood in a shot. Sometimes you want your background to be as minimalistic as possible.
3. Get Closer
The most common mistake made by photographers is that they are not physically close enough to their subjects. In some cases this means that the center of interest—the subject—is just a speck, too small to have any impact.
