Flier!

Major Project Idea

The topic of my subject is going to be about an art contest, Who ever get first place wins $1,000.

I would interview my art teacher and my classmates on how they feel about it or preparing for it.

I will take photos of  art, of persons getting ready for the competition/contest.

The information that i will be searching  is on how much time there are preparing , how old are day, do they like what they do.    

The type of project i would be making is a flyer . My type of project would be about entering in an art contest held in San Antonio for vase.

I think this would be a the best service media to make my project because it would show pictures and information to sign in and to what the judges are expecting.

I would capture this moments at my house take pictures of my art projects and take pictures of my class and there work.

I will transfer my images next time i would come to class i would try to get everything i can for the next time to put it in my computer and get started on it.

The 7 News Values of News

Timeliness:

 "Severe storms lashed portions of the central USA late Thursday, bringing hail, high winds and a few reports of tornadoes. No injuries or deaths were reported."

http://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2014/03/28/severe-weather-tornadoes-missouri/7003897/

I think this goes with Timeliness because of how its telling you what happened and not too worry too much that theres no injuries or deaths, no harm to people.

Proximity:

"Billboard chart to rank all of it.On Thursday, the two companies announced a plan to create the Billboard Twitter Real-Time Charts: continuously updated lists of the songs being discussed and shared the most on Twitter in the United States. The charts, to be published on Billboard.com and through the publication’s Twitter feed, are expected to be introduced in May."

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/28/business/media/tweets-about-music-to-get-a-billboard-chart.html?ref=media
 
I think this goes with Proximity because there that sure that in twitter there would be a billboard that automatically rank the music by its own and people would will see it to see which song have been the most popular.

Prominence:
"The Country Music Awards took place last night in Las Vegas, with performances by Shakira and Stevie Nicks, who was joined by  Lady Antebellum to sing “Rhiannon.”  Here are some red carpet looks from the night."

http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2014/04/07/fashion/country-music-awards-.html?_r=0

I think this is Prominence because its talking about Taylor Swift she's a role model for teenagers and as i see newspapers or magazine i always read that she is an inspiration for them.

Impact:
"In the Walmart service, transfers of up to $50 will cost $4.50 and transfers of up to $900he maximum customers can send in a day — will cost $9.50.:"

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/18/business/walmart-to-offer-customers-money-transfers-between-stores.html?ref=business

This is an impact because it can affect y'all not physically but mentally and economic as you do transfers that will cost to $10 by accumulating  that money you can spent thousands of money. An economic would be decreasing as no more money.

Conflict:
"Venezuela is being convulsed by the biggest protests since the country’s longtime president, the charismatic Hugo Chávez, died nearly a year ago."

http://www.nytimes.com/video/world/americas/100000002726623/protests-swell-in-venezuela.html?ref=venezuela

I think this is a conflict because on how the people are fighting with the president and how their disliking the choices he is taking which causes a conflict between them.

Human Interest:
"BARCELONA — Real, visible leadership in sports needs no translation.In a café here on Las Ramblas, a group of fans watched a rerun of Liverpool’s big match against Manchester City on Sunday. Their eyes told the story."

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/16/sports/soccer/a-last-chance-for-captain-to-lead-barcelona-to-glory.html?ref=fcbarcelona

I think is human interest because the captain of Barcelona had he's last game and he thought he was gonna win but sadly he lost and he is disappointed of himself.

Novelty:
"Conservationists and bird watchers are tracking migratory shorebirds and restoring habitat by paying rice farms in the birds’ path to keep their fields flooded with irrigation water"

http://www.nytimes.com/pages/science/index.html?module=SectionsNav&action=click&region=TopBar&version=Shortcuts&contentCollection=Science&pgtype=article

This is novelty because how can birds go back to the fields it it has been flooded already ,not all the birds are gonna want go back to their hold habitat.

Best Magazine Cover of 2013 and the las 40 years

   My Favorite Cover:
                
            

Harper's Bazaar (September 1992)

Harper's Bazaar, which debuted in 1867 as America's first fashion magazine, celebrated its 125th anniversary in 1992, and the September 1992 issue under legendary Editor-in-Chief Liz Tilberis's direction heralded one of the most dramatic magazine reinventions in history. Tilberis helped transform the magazine from an also-ran fashion magazine into the one of the most cutting-edge and experimental of the big fashion glossies—illustrated by the creative typeface and avant-garde image of Linda Evangelista on the September cover.

This magazine was my favorite one, in my opinion its a great picture its very unique i like how The title is being form with the hand of the model having a very nice movement happening it looks like if the letters are moving, its also very simple but very nice i also like how the code bar is being contrast with the clothes of the model and how they use black so it can match with the model clothes and keeping it simple. As the lighting is very well done because you can see everything very clearly.

"Year in Review"

Part 1:

This Photo was one of my favorites its telling us a secret that wants to be revealed I like how the grass is being reflected with the mirror its like the girl doesn't want to be shown being part of the mysterious secret its a very powerful technique on how they set up everything i refer to the mirror and not having something else being shown on the mirror like the camera etc.. This photo is perfect on how they darken the background and then its bright on the front the grass is been light up and how the mirror is focused also and not being blurred out just like the girl behind the mirror.

This photo was one of my top favorite ones, I can totally imagine the sound of the birds flying up and the people yelling "FREE" I can see the velocity of the birds trying to get the focused of every bird as there flying and getting ready to fly. I like on how theres no blur and how the light of the picture is perfect as the birds are getting ready to fly.

I really really like this photo i like how i can hear the sound of the motor cycles and the noise the people are making , I can see the movement there taking and on how its been blur out with the people and the motor cycles. I also think its pretty cool on how the picture its dark and the things that are with light is the lights of the motor cycle and the lights that are up on the tree thats what makes this picture interesting and is what stands out. 

Part 2:
                             

Young and Beautiful by Lana del Rey was one of my favorite songs this year because its telling you to live your life to the fullest and don't care what adore people tell you and that no matter if your short or too tall that your still beautiful it tells you advice and a story. Thats why this song was my favorite this year, and Lana de Rey has been my favorite singer sing I was little, and i truly admire her beauty.

When I saw the trailer of this movie i was really excited to see it. And when the day of the premiere came i got the chance to see it, I like how they were explaining that you need to live your life no matter what and that everything you do its worth it and to never give up because that would put you to the bottom and its going to be harder to get up if you ever do. Thats why this movie was my favorite one of this year because its telling you that no matter what happens to never give up and that life is full of good and bad surprises. 

Africa ring of terror i think it was the most terrible thing that happened in 2013, France’s wanted intervention in Mali to push back advancing Islamist forces and was supposedly be a quick blow against a separatist insurgency but it wasn't a quick blow it was tragic that hurt people and caused a lot of deaths.

Katniss as her name is in the movie Hunger Games She has been one 

of my most favorite actress i like how she expresses her character i like how she uses her talent

and do it big.

Wrecking ball was one of my favorite video of the 2013 by Miley Cyrus , I thought it was very outstanding and unique she's very different from other, in a way that she's her and not trying to be someone else. And you can say that she always put her self out dare.

Part 3:

  

      There's a lot of things i remember from my vacation holiday,But one that i remember the most is when i opened the present that my boyfriend gave me. He gave me a key necklace the key from his heart. It was a very special moment. 

     My resolution for this year 2014 is to have more faith on me and to keep my head up even though there is going to be some difficult times, But i won't let it affect me and bring me down.

    What I'm looking up in 2014 is getting ready for my last STAAR exam I'm ready to move on and being done with all my district exams and ready to be a senior.

The best settings that I used for my pictures were for the Aperture F/5.6  & F/10 and for the Shutter Speed I had different for every pictured I had  1/30, 1/100, 1/125,1/640 .it depended on my ISO.My Best picture was with ISO100 i really liked how it came out. I can use my techniques that I used for this activity with my other assignment I think it's going to be successful on my aperture and shutter speed techniques. I had more practice on it and I think I would do better than this.
