5 Websites

1. http://www.lightstalking.com/storms
2. On this website I looked at lots of pictures of storms that looked as if they were just beginning to occur. There was lots of big dark grey clouds that looked like the storm was going to be big.
3. If you're taking pictures of storms or the sky in general you should get whats on the ground or in the background so you're not just showing the sky.

5.  a.) I picked the photo because I really like the exposure of the clouds and how the photographer got the city in the background as well.                                                                                        b.)I saw rule of thirds, and balance.                                                                                               c.) photo © 2010 paul bica | more info

Cover types

1. Early magazine covers modeled books. They had only a title and publication data. There were also no descriptive words indicating what would be inside of the magazine. Early magazine covers also had a generic illustration that evoked the spirit of publication without showing anything about the magazines contents. Many early magazines had no cover and began an article on the first page.
2. In a poster cover there are no cover lines, or themes, and he title does not cover up the image. They are also generally large in size and the art on the front are usually descriptive pictures. The pictures on the cover are usually framed separate from the rest of the cover such as the title and or cover lines. 
3. On the pictures married to type theme, the cover art and the title interact and have a relationship that is apparent on the cover. There is cover lines almost all around the subject in the art. There is a primary and secondary set of cover lines. Most of the cover lines contain the names of the contributors instead about the contents of the article.
4. In the forest of words theme has a lot of vivid colorful cover lines. Cover lines can be sometimes bigger than the title itself. Cover lines also over power and flood almost the entire magazine cover. The images and the cover lines also overlap with the cover lines still dominating the cover.

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.
