4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not?
Not at all. To change someone's face and body to the point where one is offended watching the process is disgusting. The model was unrecognizable after the makeup and photoshop. It distorts young girls like myself, view of beauty and how we should look.
5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
It is ethically wrong under any circumstance to do this type of manipulation, but I personally feel that when the model is plus size it makes matters worse. It is teaching people that to be pretty you must be skinny and that's just so no right.
6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
Types of changes could be adding a filter to your picture, or sharpening it up, or maybe making colors brighter in your image, or maybe fixing fly away hairs if your doing head shots for someone.
7. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
Fashion photography is more of "fixing" and "manipulating" a perfect and appealing image for the public to be attracted to, and photojournalism is about "capturing" that powerful moment and "getting into the action" of life to get heart warming or heart breaking photographs that make you feel something.
8. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
Fashion photography does not even have a type of reality, it is photoshopped and purified to the point of false advertisement and edited models. Photojournalism on the other hand is reality. It is the beating pulse of the people who walk the earth, the cracks and creases of the mud and grass, it is what is real and pure.
9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos?
I think you showed us these there videos to show us the dangers of photoshop and editing. We need to know what is ethical and what is not when editing a photograph of someone.
10. Why are none of these videos about guys???
In our society, girls are the ones who need to be pretty. Girls are the ones who need to be skinny. Girls are thrones that need to take suggestive pictures that are edited beyond ethical ways. So much is expected of girls and I think only recently it's starting to take a toll on women; we are just starting to fight back. Everyone is pretty, just the way they are.

blog #4 - magazine part 2
1. Early Magazine Covers
Early magazine covers are just what they sound like; old, early, and nothing like you would see today. They have big bold inky fonts and paper that looks like coffee has been spilled on it, and someone has crumpled it up and tried to flatten it out. The newspaper has a black and white color scheme and a little design.
2. The Poster Cover
The poster cover magazine design is primarily a picture. the page has an eye drawing design or picture full of color, or something abstract that gives off an emotion. The picture has a title above it, and sometimes a small captain underneath it or in the photo itself. This approach is much more artistic, and can be a little much if not done correctly.
3. Pictures Married to Type
Pictures married to type is a new and cool way to incorporate your picture/design into the actual title and words of your magazine cover. You can still read the words, and still see the picture, yet this is a cool and modern way to tie the two elements of the magazine layout together to make a more cohesive cover page, and grab attention from costumers. Personally, this is a great way to give your cover page a little something extra.
4. In the Forest of Words
In the Forest of Wolds the magazine designer is really taking the photos and layout and words of the cover page…and making them go deep into specific people cultures, interests, and ways of life. It is a different and personal approach to creating a magazine cover page and I think people truly appreciate it when done well and the photo does the issue justice.

Blog #3- my favorite cover
Designer: Arem Duplessis
"This cover story by Michael Pollen argues that while we have been obsessed with eradicating germs, there are health advantages to being exposed to them. The cover shot by Hannah Whitaker of a baby being licked by a dog makes graphic the prevalence of germs in our everyday lives." - See more at: http://www.magazine.org/asme/magazine-cover-contest/past-winners-finalists/2014-winners-finalists#sthash.fQkUWZWo.dpuf
This magazine cover is so cute! I love how the blue sky (background) is os blue, the grass is green, the baby's shirt is so red, and the puppy is so golden. The colors and lighting in this picture is spot on. I love how the concept of the photo was to get the point across that even something as a cute as a puppy licking a baby…can carry and be a host for nasty germs and health risks. This photo would have been maybe a little bit more appealing (if that's even possible) if the baby had been looking at the camera and making a cute or funny face. Overall this photo really captured my heart and eyes.

Ian and his friends hold each other as Ian returns home for a few days, a rare occasion. His friends are still dealing with the realness of it all, Ian risking his life everyday in Iraq for his country…and they wish he would just stay with them here at home, in Denver.
Ian walks alone to his new army camp base, heaving a long his heavy bags and looking forward, only forward. If he looks back on the hardships he has faced, and the people he has left behind, walking to his new army camp might be the hardest part of this all.
Ian is not familiar with his surrounding, and his squad is gong over procedures to reassure they know what they are getting themselves into. Ian is thinking about his training, his family, and his country which he is here for. He is ready.
