The Dead Tree
http://www.flickr.com/photos/kevinday/sets/775271/

2. I looked at all of these photos about one dead tree. It was pretty cool because the photographer took only pictures of the dead tree. The coolest thing about it was that some photos were taken in the morning, at night and even at different seasons.

3. I learned different effects the photographer used on the dead tree.

Favorite cover

Finalist
Sports Illustrated, Winter 2011: "Swimsuit 2011"
(Photograph by Bjorn Iooss)
Landing on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition makes supermodels into pop culture icons. Such was the case this year for Irina Shayk, a Russian beauty whose bronze skin and green eyes have made her a Swimsuit regular since 2007. Credit must also be given to photographer Bjorn Iooss, who snapped the cover photo with the first-ever Sports Illustrated shoot. Iooss' cover shot came one year after his father, Walter Jr., snapped his eleventh Swimsuit cover.

Magazine Tips


  1. How is it going to look in your hands not on the computer.
  2. Does it pop among other magazines.
  3. Does it grab peoples attention on the magazine shelfs.
  4. If the cover pops from the background keep it. 
  5. Experiment as much as possible to see what its capabilities are.
