Academic Preview 2012 Winners

I chose this photo because I really like how you can practically see the sound coming from the speaker the paint is on. I like the how the photographer was able to capture the paint being propelled into the air. The rule of balance is evident in the photo because of the paint flying to every part of the picture, which balances out the amount of space used.


For our next shoot, I think I could learn from these pictures and go into classrooms and capture students interacting with one another, or focusing on their work. I would like to visit Chef's culinary class and try and capture students working with food, or creating a menu, and/or anything else they do in there. In order to get photos like the ones we've seen, I think I might try and subtly take the pictures so that they aren't as posed.

It also sends the wrong message to people, making them think they need to look like that

Personal Essays

1. One idea the article gave me that I can use to decide on a topic is to make sure I feel very strongly about the subject. It doesn't matter if it's something big or small, as long as you have very strong opinions about it. 2. An idea from the article I should keep in mind while writing the piece is to write kind of like I'm talking, loose and comfortable. Also I should make sure to include many details to ensure that the readers can relate to my story. 3. One idea that I will keep in mind is the many different types of hooks. You can hook the audience with a question, metaphor, a quote, and more.

Front Pages of the World

My favorite nespaper front page is the one for Albany, New Yorks's Times Union. This is because it has many differnt stories and there will be at least one that would appeal to someone. My favorite headline from the newspaper is "Their generous hearts helping others" because it appeals to my emotions. Especially with a baby being the picture, it makes me want to read more about what was happening in the picture. On the front page there are six different stories. After seeing all of the front pages for the various newspapers I looked at, I noticed that they all have huge text in bold letters for the headline in the top center of the page, usually paired with a large picture, to grab people's attention. Differences I saw between some of the front pages are the amount of stories and also the main stories. For example, in Austin's front page the biggest headline is about Karolyi Ranch and how many gymnasts were abused there and how it is to be investigated. Whereas in
