Magazine Cover Review #3
1. What is the name of the magazine that you looked at and who made it?
The name of the magazine is "Cali" and Callie made it.
2. List two things you liked about the magazine cover
I liked the magazine photo itself and stands out because it is black and white. I also like that they used the coral color for some of the text because it is a good contrast between the black and white.
3. Suggest something to the creator to improve the cover
I think that some of the text should be a different color because it ends up blending in with the photograph.
4. Why did you pick this cover? Specifically what attracted your eyes.
I picked this cover because I liked the photo and I thought the headlines were positioned interestingly.
5. Is there a bar code? Is it appropriate in size and located in the correct place?
Yes there is a bar code and it is appropriate and placed in the corrected place.
6. If you were walking by the magazines in Barnes and Nobles would you pick this magazine up and look at it? Why or Why not?
Yes I would pick this magazine up because the black and white will stand out within the colorful magazines and also because the healines are small it'll differ from the other covers where the words are crowded.

Yes you can tell it was a self-portrait because it is taken so close.

Prompt Shoot Peer Review
1. Which photo do you like best? Why?
My favorite photo was the "The End" photo of the pathway in the grass. It has good leading lines and a good contrast between the colors, especially because it is in black and white. Everything is nicely balanced (such as the grass is even on both sides).
2. Which is your least favorite image? Why?
My least favorite image was the other "The End" photo of the double doors. The lighting was not the best and the picture itself was tilted. I think if they were to fix the light settings and shoot from a slightly different angle the picture would look better.
3. Overall, make two positive statements about their pictures.
I like that the theme is very evident in all their pictures and all of the images are simple and easy to look at. They are also taken from different points of view which adds variety.
4. Overall, what is one area that this person could improve upon in your opinion.
An area they could improve on is applying more rules of photography for stronger images.
5. Which prompt do you think they did the best portraying, from your perspective?
The prompt they portrayed best was "The End" (black and white photo) because it is a path leading towards something that is not obvious in the image, fitting the aura of "The End".
6. Which prompt do you think they did the least successfully portray, from your perspective?
The prompt they portrayed the least successful was the "Footprints" theme. It is not very obvious that it is a footprint, I think if they were to shoot from a different angle it would've looked better.
