Long Answers
1. I learned that the supreme court that cases that were 4-4 will require a new justice to participate. I learned that Scalia's vote will not count on cases before his death. The opinions he was drafting before he died will have to be reassigned o other justices.
2. The supreme court justice who had recently died that is causing this situation is Justice Antonin Scalia. He was the courts most senior conservative. The situation is about who the replacement is going to be.
3. I think that there should be pressure on Congress to deal with this deadlock problem. Congress should be able to pick a replacement to help with the deadlock problem because the person who they pick might bring a different idea to the situation that might change the mind of the others. The person who is the replacement could take be the final decision on a matter to end the deadlock.
4. The problem the president is facing is if the person who he wants to be the replacement could be the person Congress doesn't want to be in the supreme court justice. The president is facing congress truing down or not accepting the one he picks. He is facing some saying that he does thane a right to pick someone in is last year of office while he says that its more than enough time.

Magazine Part 2

The early magazine covers started off not having any illustrations at first and copied the format of a book rather than today magazines. The cover only provided a title and the date when it was published which provided no details of what could be inside the again to the readers.
With the poster covers the cover was oversize compared to today normal standard of magazines. In married to type there were cover lines. Theses cover lines started off with different placements. In the forest of words its where the magazine shows what the context is inside.

Favorite

Finalist
New York, February 17–24, Spring Fashion
"In a stunning cover for New York’s “Spring Fashion” issue, Erik Madigan Heck created a wall-to-wall effect with the red and white floral pattern on Lupita Nyong’o’s Stella McCartney dress and a coordinated background. Nyong’o is no wallflower, seeming to pop right out of this inventive and stylish cover."
The cover is something that is not plain simple but at the same time not over the top dramatic. It has a perfect balance of colors and batters that doesn't make the reader feel like they are being overwhelmed. Even though there is probably a couple magazine cover out there that has the main subject wearing something that has similar patterns to the background I think that this one is just so neat with the colors. This cover has a aspect that catches my eye and makes me want to read more. The cover recreates a picture that would just be simple if the background was different and throws in a creative aspect and shows off the fashion beautifully.

Portraits and Self Portraits

Most portraits are taken with the camera at (or around) the eye level of the subject. While this is good common sense – completely changing the angle that you shoot from can give your portrait a real WOW factor.

Switch your camera into ‘burst’ or ‘continuous shooting’ mode and fire off more than one shot at a time.

The person in your portrait is the main point of interest – however sometimes when you place them into different contexts with different backgrounds you can dramatically alter the mood in a shot.

I liked this photo and picked it because she is framed by her environment.


I liked this photo and pick it because it was so simple but the camera and the way he looks through the camera makes it more dramatic.


I liked this photo and picked it because it is just simple and peaceful.


1. Interacting with environment
2. Environmental portrait are people in a forest or surrounded by plants while casual portraits are more pictures focusing on the main subjects.
3. I think that to get a really good self portrait someone has to try out different angles.
4. I think that I would like to maybe do a more environmental portrait and might shoot at the park or something.

2. The smaller the Aperture the more light it lets in, the higher the Aperture the less light it lets in.
3. Aperture impacts the Depth of Field because the smaller the aperture the more blurry the background becomes and the sharper the main focus becomes while the larger the aperture the less sharper the focus becomes as the background becomes more into focus as the main focus.
