Magazine Cover Peer Review
The magazine I looked at was titled Bijou.
The creator's name is Jacquelyn.
In this magazine I liked the photograph and the way the magazine's subject added something different by applying rhinestones to her face. I also like the unique name.
I think that if the creator would have move the title right above the girl's head, it wouldn't look so distracting and cut off.
I picked this cover because of the how the creator took time to make her magazine different by coming up with a new approach to portraits. The first time I saw this magazine I was instantly attracted to the rhinestones on the girl's face.
Yes, there is a bar code.
They creator could have improved their magazine by making their text slightly larger for their headlines, because they are hard to read and don't stick out.
I think this could either be a self portrait or a portrait because I don't know what the blogger looks like.

I liked the Pause photo the best because it is really graceful and appealing to look at. It also follows rule of thirds and has pod lighting.
My least favorite photo is the connected photo because the fingers just look really awkward and uncomfortable.
I think the pictures overall are taken well and each follow the rules of photography. The photos for the most part are unique and original.
Overall I think the photographer could position their human subjects in a more creatively.
The photographer portrayed Pause the best because the view can easily tell that the setting is completely still.
I think they least successfully portrayed The End because the image didn't really make sense together, especially since I believe the world will end with out trees because everyone keeps chopping them down.

This website is about how a photographer traveled the world to photograph organism 2,000 years and older. By partnering with biologist to document some of the oldest elements still alive on this Earth.

I choose this photo because of the thickness and green the tree contains. I also like the development and strength the tree has.
I see simplicity and balance in this photo.

2014 Favorites
Music:
Tove Lo- Habits
I choose this as my favorite song of 2014 because it has a nice beat and I didn't really seem to mind the radio's extensive use of this song. I also like Tove Lo's voice and it puts my mind at ease though the lyrics tell a depressing story. 2014 has gone and this song reminds me of what young people were like and still like; I'm guessing.
Movie:
Tove Lo- Habits
 News: |
ISIS- Durning 2014 a topic that was most talked about was the current actions of ISIS. ISIS is a growing group of men looking to pose a threat by killing and injuring people to show their power. This is the most important news story from 2014 because its a growing problem that effects not only the U.S but the whole world.

Maleficent- Is a Disney movie that shows the point of view of the witch that casts a curse on Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. In this movie it shows the insight of what it was like growing up and the lessons she has learned. This is my favorite movie from 2014 because of the great story line and because it keep me interested and fascinated.

Biggest entertainment story:
The Death of Robin William was a tragic event most talked about it the U.S. He brought great joy to his fans through his funny movies and shows. This is my favorite entertainment story of 2014 because I really enjoyed his work and will forever remember the great times i had while watching his movies.

Person:
John Green is described as my favorite person from 2014 because of the interesting pieces of work he has created and the movie that has come out from his book The Fault in Our Stars. His writing is not only creative but written in a way where it is hard to put the book down.
My holiday: One thing that happened on my holiday that I remember is watching a lot of movies on Netflix and eating a lot of good food. My resolution for the year 2015 is to start exercising more and eating healthier. In 2015, I'm looking forward to reading new books and trying out new and different things in my life. |
