Magazine Assignment

1st. Pile: Rechi (ukranian for "Things")

The things that are similar are none of them have people just objects.
The things that are different is that the covers are all stlyed differently and they all show different main subjects.
We put these magazines covers here because, none of them went along with the other catergories.
Most are effective at showing a piece of what's inside the magazine, except a few oare plain and don't advertise the magazine.
 Magazine names: The Day that changed America, Popular Photography, Silver Shotz, Home and Garden, Austin Monthly Home, Burnt Orange, Journalism Education, Smithsoian, Texas Monthly.


2. Informal and Formal Portraits
Characteristics: Covers that featured people doing a photoshoot  with a simple background to make them the main focus of the cover.
Similar: Most of them only have one person on the cover with a plain background.
Different: They're different people; different topics.
Why: They all are same types of portraits of well-known people.
Effective: they all are effective because they attract attention and give you a little insight to what that person is all about.

3.Environmental Portraits
Characteristics: They all show people doing what the magazine is advertising and they represent what's on the cover. They show people in real situations instead of in a photo shoot.
Similar: They all have people, not things, on the cover showing what they do in real life.
Different: Everyone is doing something different, none of them are on the cover doing the same thing.
Why: We put these here because none of them are in a photo shoot, but they are all environmental portraits.
Effective: All of these are effective because they advertise what that person is famous for and it shows them doing their thing, not in a building somewhere with a plain background. It shows the real person doing their own thing.

4. Animals
The things that are similar are that they each contain a portrait of an animal.
The things that are different, that most animals are taken in their environmental world, and one is just taken as a portrait.
We put these magazines here because they all have a picture of an animal.
These are effective magazine covers becuase they all grab the viewers attention.
