Using Composition

Today, I took pictures demonstrating each composition term from the syllabus.

1) Framing

Framing draws attention to the subject.

2) Rule of thirds

This composition is useful because it falls perfectly into the eyes of the audience.

3) Depth of field

This composition focuses on one subject while blurring out the background.

4) Deep focus

This composition focuses its attention on the whole plant.

5) Shallow focus

The flower is being focused on rather than the plant as a whole to capture its beauty.

6) Focus pulls

The focus is being pulled away from the environment and focusing its attention on the dog.

Magazines require certain conventions that they all need to follow. I will mention and explain them below. •Nameplate/masthead- The font that makes the magazine recognizable. It is specifically designed to attract an audience. •Taglines- Taglines are used to show what the magazine is about. •Coverlines- Coverlines mention the topics included. •Central image- The central Image draws an audience before they can even read the magazine. •Cover model- Cover models are usually celebrities that have a strong connection to the magazine's genre. •Color scheme- The color scheme is used to target a demographic. •Barcodes- Barcodes are used to Identify your magazine.

First Thoughts on House Style

I believe that House Styles have contributed to making magazines organized, as well as attracting an audience. Magazines use House Styles so that they are able to attract their demographic. House Styles might be developed by grouping individuals and having them decide who they want to target, what they want to portray, and how they want their audience to feel. The genre of the magazine influences the House Style because they want to establish a different feel depending on their topic. Therefore, they might use contrasting color schemes, coverlines, and cover models if their magazine genre was gardening or business.
