Front Pages of the World


  1. My favorite page was the Staten Island Advance, of New York. I like this page the most because of the images that they included on the cover.
  2. "Scalded by tea, woman sues Wendy's." This headline really caught my eye because I thought that is was so unusual that i had to read the whole story/caption following it.
  3. There were 7 stories on the front cover of that Newspaper.
  4. They all have one or two kinds of fonts and the headlines are mostly the same size. They all have one main photo and some other smaller ones. They also have local, national, and international stories on that covers.
  5. Each newspaper has their own color scheme and font style that they use throughout the front pages. Some of them have long, narrow stories on the sides surrounding a main story in the center. Others only have wide stories that cover the whole page. Also they might have 2-5 photos on the same cover, that are different sizes depending on the newspaper. 

Casper Star Tribune, Wyoming
Las Vegas Sun, Nevada

Staten Island Advance, New York
The New York Post, New York

Austin American Statesmen, Texas
The Dallas Morning News, Texas

20 Minutes, France

Magazine Covers Peer Review


  1. The name of the magazine was Motocross (second) and it was made by Connor Pearson.
  2. I like the pictures behind the text and the font really flowed with his images so it made it look professional. 
  3. I think that he could have done different angles of the biker, so you can see his face.
  4. I picked this cover because of the layout. I was scanning through many other covers but this one had a unique style of font, and I also liked how he "married'' his picture to the words. 
  5. There is a bar code, it is relatively the correct size and it's in the correct spot.
  6. I might have looked at the cover, but I'm not really into the topic that he chose to do the cover on so maybe not.
  7. I cannot tell if it is a portrait or self-portrait. I might guess that it wasn't a self-portrait because it would be really hard to get the timing the way he did so I think it was a portrait.

  1. The magazine was called Blossom and the designer was Isabella.
  2. I liked the area where she took the image and i also liked how she blended her text color in with the picture. 
  3. I would suggest making the text more visible it is kind of hard to see in some spots.
  4. I chose this image because of the colors and the way she had the text situated on the page.
  5. Yes, there is a bard code, it is a good size and and is in the correct spot.
  6. I probably would look at this magazine because it looks like an outdoorsy magazine that would be right up my alley.
  7. This image was a portrait of one of her friends.

  1. The title of it was Unfolded, and it was created by Evan Acuna.
  2. I really liked the font he used for the title, it made it stand out well, and i also like the door of light that jus being filtered through the image. 
  3. I would suggest to show off the origami more, so a better angle would make the image stronger.
  4. I thought the lighting was unique and the idea of a magazine with an unusual and creative topic, like origami, was very interesting.
  5. There is a bar code, it could be a little smaller, and it is in the correct place.
  6. For this cover maybe. I think I would look at it to see what it was, because it's so different from tyne rest.
  7. I can tell that it was a self portrait because you couldn't see his face really and it seemed that he rushed to get into the photo implying that it was by a timer.

Prompt Shoot Peer Review

Prompt Shoot #3:
http://calliesphotojounrnalismblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/prompt-shoot-3.html?showComment=1453304428003#c8244397273722189416


  1.  I liked her connected image the best because I liked the feeling of space within the image.
  2. My least favorite image was her footprints image because it was kind of random and spontaneous, and I would not have know what it was without her explanation. 
  3. I really liked her innovative and clever ways to take those images and I liked how clearly and sharply she took the images.
  4. I think her exposure levels were a little off in some of her pictures but they weren't bad. 
  5. I think she did a good job at showing off her connected image. The subjects look like they are connected and are in a relationship. 
  6. I think  her idea of footprints wasn't the greatest because she just took pictures of people walking and it doesn't really show their footprints like the prompt asked for. 

Prompt Shoot #3

Footprints in the sand that we made. 


A black and white posed image.

The "exit" shows the end of a hall.

This is the yummy picture. I thought these berries look a lot like grapes.
