Early Magazine Covers Poster Cover Pictures Married to Type

In the Forest of Words

Cover types:

1. Early Magazine Covers- In these magazines, the covers were usually used as table of contents. the magazines were made looking more like books instead of magazines

2. The Poster Cover-The covers of these magazines were made largely as if to be "hung on a wall". Instead of photographs on the covers they used illustrations or sketches from photographs.

3. Pictures Married to Type- These covers consisted of Large titles and the main focus of the magazine overlapping the title. There are also headlines surrounding the model on the covers. The models were usually placed in some sort of pose for the cover.

4. In the Forest of Words- On these covers the headlines were meant to stand out more. So they were placed to overlap the model on the cover.

Ethical Beliefs

Photojournalist Ethics should be situational because it really does just depend on the types of changes that are being made. It is not always wrong to make little changes in a photo. If you make drastic changes, for example adding certain object such as a pen or even a flag in the backgroud, that would not be a reasonable change. It gives off different ideas about the photo.

There is truth in candid taken photos, but i do not believe there is truth in posed photos. When taking posed pictures, there is just emotion in the photo that the person is just doing for the camera, but if caught off guard or in candid images, there is truth, you can determine how the person is feeling because they have no time to think of an emotion and show it!

As a photographer I have just taken out little white spots from the photo. I havent really tried to make my photos something else. I think it is important that the news defined ethical standards because photographers need to know their limits and what changes are allowed to be made without creating lies.

Dove Film

In the film they changed the woman's neck height, they lifted her eyebrows, drew more attention to her eyes, lowered her shoulders, and thinned out her cheeks. Dove was giving examples of how their products work this is ok with fashion photography because its what the people look for. But in photojournalism, we look for truth and candid moments. Fashion Photography does have its negatives though, it causes the audience to think that by having the same products, they can look just as beautiful. The photos are showing a made up human being.

Ethics

The article was explaining how the University doctored a photo and made it seem like there was a black person in the photo. they did this to make their school seem like it had a racial diversity. It is wrong to make a change like this because it is not honest to the public. And the school is just trying to gain publicity but in the wrong way!

Unethical Manipulation

The changes made to this photo were unethical because they really made no difference. The teeth of the woman could barely be seen so there was no reason to mess with them.

Ethical Manipulation

This was an ethical manipulation to the photo becaue the pole in the picture on the first picture made a difference after taking the pole out there was not any attention drawn above the girls head.
