  we learned about many different techniques to use and each one of them has helped me get a better idea of how I want to take the pictures for my magazine. For example, when it comes to using the depth of field method I learned that it is a good way to grab your reader's attention because we can either focus on the subject without having any form of distribution in the background. Working on that assignment help me figure out a great way for me to take pictures without having the need to edit my background if I find something that can potentially distract the readers from the subject I want them to focus on.  There were other techniques that we focus on such as framing, leading lines, bird worm view, and eyes worm view. One of my favorite techniques is leading lines because I find it to be one of the easier techniques we can use. Depth of field example  Example of leading lines 

  Composition  In class, we discuss and went over some different types of composition we can use to make our pictures more apparent to the audience. We went over birds' eyes view, worm eyes view, using the rule of thirds, using leading lines, using isolation, framing, and repetition. Learning about those compositions gave me more of an option of what I can use to make my pictures eye cathing.  cropping  We use cropping to help eliminate anything that might distract us from the pictures. For example, if there is something that is in the right corner of your picture and it could be a possible distraction there is no need to retake the picture because you can simply crop it out. Storage  Having enough storage is among some of the most important a photographer should remember, because it would suck to want to take a picture for your spread and not have enough storage. It is also important because you might want to take more than one picture with diffrent angles, lig...

The photograph is one of the first things that readers see, they are the things that they pay the most attention to. The photograph is what ties everything together because there is a high chance that the readers will get distracted and uninterested if a publication consisted of only words. Having photographs is important but it is also important to have eye-catching photographs, the pictures need to stand out, they need to be interesting. Having good pictures gives you a higher chance of readers being more interested in wanting to know what your publication is about.  

Creating a practiced spread help me with many things that I could improve until my actual spread. When it comes to the layout of the practiced spread it was a bit different because we did not have to do a secondary coverage but that does not mean making a practice spread was not helpful because it help me with how I want to layout my pictures also with the size of my pictures and caption boxes.  Making this practice spread also help me with writing captions when I did the assignment for captions I was having a difficult time but after I started to write captions for the practice spread it became a lot easier to write I did not struggle as much.
