1) My target audience is anyone who has abused or has been abuse. Whether it was in a relationship or by their parents. If you have been abused before it will leave you with emotional and mental scares. The audience also doesn't have to be the victims, it can also be the attacker because if anything, need to wake up and see that putting people down only causes more drama than intended.
2) What we can do to help these people is help them get out of their troubled relationship. Even if they weren't getting abuse physically, you can still be abused mentally by being put down by the other person. And if it's a family member then they need a reality check because beating your child only means you failed to get the point across to your child that they are not supposed to do something wrong when they know they are only going to get caught.
3) This topic is important becasue abusers come in all shapes and sizes. Skin color doesn't matter and neither does age. Just because you see a certain group of people on t.v get abused doesn't mean it is only that certain age or color of people getting abused. No one person is immune to this problem.
4) I think I was able to get my point across because as you can see in the pictures above their are people of all ages and colors that were victimized. Just because you are not the victim it also doesn't make you the better person because that person you are abusing another human being just like you. I also think I got the point across because the slogan at the top is pretty straight forward.

In this image some of the things that I have included are a chart of the number of dropouts by race/ethnicity, an image of a graduating student, and an image demonstrating some of the careers students would want to pursue in. This image I created is to show the effects of students that today more and more students are dropping out of school. With the lack of education one will never be able to pursue in the careers they wish to do. So I created a collage with the statement, “Stay in School” meaning stay in school, get an education and pursue in your career. The purpose of this assignment is to raise consciousness or cause critical conversation about human rights issue.

1. Who is your target audience? (global, Americans, neighborhood community, TBA community, etc.)
2. What do you want your audience to do (action) or know?
   My target audience is to all the students and teenagers of high school and college. The intention of this image is to show that more and more students today in America are dropping out of school. This image is to raise consciousness for the audience about their future. I want the audience to know that with the lack of education one can never be able to pursue in their career and be satisfied with themselves. I believe that one can never have too much education; everyday there’s something new to add on to the history education.
3. Why is this topic important to you?
4. Do you think you were successful in getting your point across? Why or why not?
   This topic is important to me because it tells me that I have to continue to work hard and stay focus. The image that I created with the statement “Stay in School” I believe its statement would be successful in getting my point across because it's clear and understandable. With the image of the graph included it clearly explains my point.
5. Include the URL of where you got your image from.

Make a Statement

The target audience is everyone becuase this epidemic can have an effect on anyone. I want everyone to know and be aware of the problem. I want them to feel the need to act upon the situation, by protecting themselves.
This topic is important to me because it has had a great impact on people of my race. I feel as though it is my duty to make people more aware. Each and everyday more and more people are being infected and dying from this disease. To change this we need to make people see the truth.
I do feel as though my point is being made in this image. People should be able to understand it because it is pretty clear.
For this image I didn't use images from any websites and I took the image myself.

Make a statement

Who is your target audience?
The target audience was everyone. I believe that every one should be aware of poverty and how it effects the people going through it. There are alot of people in this world who have nothing. And they are litterally dying of hunger, and they have nothing to wear or nowhere to live. It's not only adults, but it's children and babies and elders.
what do you want your audience to do?
If every one can just see what a difference it makes to help out, it feels good to know you helped save someone. To just see all of the children dying of hunger, and cold because there is no coat or house to live in. People can donate and help out. It really helps to atleaast give some clothes.
Why is this topic important to you?
This topic is important to me because, what if one of us are going through poverty. And what if we didn't have a home or clothes, and we had no money for food? Wouldn't you want some one to help? I know I would. I think that we can make a change one person at a time.
Do you think you were successful in getting your point across? why or why not?
I hope I was successful in getting my point across. I believe that every one needs help, they just need help getting that help. This is my image:

and I put 2 photos together, the first is of a bunch of kids look like hey are grabbing for food and the second is a photo of kids inside an abandoned home.

MAKE YOUR OWN STATEMENT

One type of audience that i want my picture to attract are children of young age. I chose to target this audience because I want to let them know that doing the wrong things can have harsh consequences. Also want them to make the right choices and set themselves on the right paths to sucess. Another audience that I want to target are teens in highschool. I chose to target this audience to prevent them from using violence to solve their problems.

I want my audience to know that using violence comes with a serious consequence. What i would want my audience to do is not use weapons like guns or knives to bring harm on one another. I would want my audience to stay out the streets and find something to do so they would stay out of trouble. Another thing that I would want my audience to do is not get involed with gangs because that makes you a suspect and an automatic steretype of society. I want my audience to become sucessful people and stay out of jail.

This topic is very important to me because today their are to many teens my age dying over dumb disputes with one another and instead of talking they use violence to settle their problems. I think this topic is very important to me because their are way to many kids my age going to jail becuse they can't refrane from holding a weapon when not having the privilage. I think that this image is important to me because to many teens are hanging in the streets and not trying to do something with their life that will help them become a sucessful person. This topic is very important because teens are making wrong desicions and paying the untimate price for what they did. I think this image is important because I don't want little children growing up and making mistakes that can cause them to be in jail their whole life.

Yes I do think that I am sucessful in getting my point across. I think that i am sucessful in getting my point across because it shows what will happen to a person if they make the wrong choices or use weapons for violence against another person.

A) From the reading…How do you know when an image is fake? Fiete cites 7 different ways to identify fake images. Explain 2 different techniques.From the reading there are seven different ways Robert Fiete cited to identify fake images.
The way I can tell an image is fake is by the colors, or tone. This is the way that an image has been altered. Also, I can tell an image is fake is alteration of an an existing image that was captured by camera. An existing image can be altered by changing the context of the image, like saying that an image of a baby in diapers is an image of a baby with pull-ups on top of a box. When a picture is taken in a dark room it provides an advantage in adding and removing people or background from images taken by a camera.
B) In your opinion…Can you trust the images you see in the media? Why or why not?
In my opinion, I think not. The reason I thought no is because from the article “Photo Fakery” by Robert Fiete’s I have read that not all of the images we see in the media are real.
C) In your opinion…when is photo manipulation “OK” and when is it “WRONG”? Explain ONE situation in which photo manipulation is acceptable, and ONE situation in which it is NOT.
I think that it is ok to manipulate photos when it is trying to sell something that is supposed to be manipulated. I think that it is not ok when it chanes the way someone looks to sell a product.

A) From the reading…How do you know when an image is fake? Fiete cites 7 different ways to identify fake images. Explain 2 different techniques. There are many ways to be able to tell how an image is fake and they are.
Usually lines that don’t match up

Blurs
Colors differ
Objects may be lighter or darker
You might see it as a layer
lighting

B) In your opinion…Can you trust the images you see in the media? Why or why not?
In my opinion I do not think that people can trust images that we see in media because most of the time the stuff you see in magazines is usually makeup and you don’t see any pores or wrinkles in the girls face so you can really tell that is fake also in images of cars they try and make the car look better than it is because of the lighting in the picture.
C) In your opinion…when is photo manipulation “OK” and when is it “WRONG”? Explain ONE situation in which photo manipulation is acceptable, and ONE situation in which it is NOT.
One situation when photo manipulation is wrong is when you try to sell products to people and you know well that the product does not work but they edit the people in the picture and makes it look like it works.

I believe there is only really 1 situation when photo manipulation is right and it is when you trying to sensor something to hide it from the public or from kids or from propaganda

Blog 5: Moral Dilemmas

1) When things don't add up. When you look at an image and you see lines and blurs that don't match up, you can usually tell something is a fake. Or if the colors of objects and then tone of another don't add up then it's obviously a fake. If something is lighter than another object it is a fake. Sometimes people try too hard and are trying to cathc themselves in a mistake and can't see a lot of obvious things. Or if something looks as if it is layered onto something else to make a blending effect then it is a possible fake.

2) In my opinion you can trust the images in the media to be fake becuse they always are claiming to be real, when they are all fake and are trying to make up the newest fads in the world. They are almost always fake because those people are really vein and will usually try to hide their human side to try to look better than other people.

3) The only case where photo manipulation is o.k is when you are trying to clean something up so that kids won't see the terror going on. This is the only reason photo manipulation is right because it's trying to hide somehting like a murder victim or horror movies real aspect when you know children are going to end up watching it.

It is wrong when you are trying to sell your product to people because they then you are lying to people to get their crappy rpoduct out there. If it actually worked then you wouldn't have to go around boasting that your rpoduct is the best at whatever it is supposed to do. If it really is better, word of mouth will spread and your product will be number one because of results and not just because you paid somebody to tell the world that its the best at what it does, let the rpoduct speak for itself.

Blog 5: Moral Dilemmas in Media/IP Term 1

A) From the reading…How do you know when an image is fake? Fiete cites 7 different ways to identify fake images. Explain 2 different techniques.

Inconsistency- You can tell if an image has been altered if a section of the image is inconsistent with the rest. For example, if the color, tone and edges of the section don't match up with the rest of the image, then the image may have been altered. Inconsistent illumination and shadowing are things to look for as well, but don't forget that illumination characteristics of a scene can seem inconsistent if imaging properties and other factors aren't taken into account.

Context Altering- context altering is the most common method of image editing. Changing the context of an image is usually claiming that the image is actually an image of something else. You can also change the content of an image by placing an image on a different image to create an image with a new meaning. It's a little tricky to identify an image with altered context. One way is to focus on the part of the image that makes it unbelievable. Also make sure to look for inconsistencies.

B) In your opinion…Can you trust the images you see in the media? Why or why not?
In my opinion, I can't trust the images I see on the media. After seeing many before-and-after pictures of models and products, I don't know what to believe anymore. I can't trust images because I can't tell if they're real or fake, or if it's the real deal, or some lie.

C) In your opinion…when is photo manipulation “OK” and when is it “WRONG”? Explain ONE situation in which photo manipulation is acceptable, and ONE situation in which it is NOT.
It's okay to manipulate photos only when you're doing it with good intentions. For example, retouching old photos; it’s okay to retouch an old photo in order to preserve it because the original is in bad shape, or has bad quality.

It's NOT okay to manipulate photos when you doing it in order to lie to people. For example, manipulating a photo to promote a product, making people think it's better than it actually is, or making the model for a product appear beautiful, so others will buy the product in hopes of looking beautiful, too.

Blog 5: Moral Dilemmas in Media

A) From the reading…How do you know when an image is fake? Fiete cites 7 different ways to identify fake images. Explain 2 different techniques. Two of the seven techniques Fiete explained are context altering and inconsistency. The key to identifying fake images is context altering because when the context is altered in an image then the image has new meaning. Usually when the context is altered it is obvious because there is sometimes another image added that is out of context. Which creates a new meaning for the image. Another clue for identifying fake images is by looking to see if there is inconsistency in color or shadows. Like in the example shown in the article with the family portrait and the grandmother was added in. If you look closely at the image you can see the shadow in the lower portion of her body, proving that the image was altered.

B) In your opinion…Can you trust the images you see in the media? Why or why not? It is very hard for me to trust images used in media becuase most of them are false or fake. They are also sometimes taken out of context and altered to perfection. For example makeup companies always try to make their products seem like they are good products. By having a model use their makeup and the photographer later on altering the picture to perfection, to make their product look good.

C) In your opinion…when is photo manipulation “OK” and when is it “WRONG”? Explain ONE situation in which photo manipulation is acceptable, and ONE situation in which it is NOT.
I think it is only ok to manipulate an image when it is for something simple like if in a picture a person has red eye then it would be okay. In that case nothing is really being completely changed or taken out of context. It would be wrong to manipulate an advertisement because that means that the product is being falsely advertised.

B) In your opinion…Can you trust the images you see in the media? Why or why not?
In my opinion, I can't trust the images that I see i the media. I can't trust it because the photos that are in the media are always being retouched, for instance Make- up ads. My proof is www.campaignforrealbeauty.com.

C) In your opinion…when is photo manipulation “OK” and when is it “WRONG”? Explain ONE situation in which photo manipulation is acceptable, and ONE situation in which it is NOT.

I my opinion, photo manipulation is only ok when you are taken school pictures of and type of picture and you have scares or acne on your face and it makes your picture UGLY. It is not ok to do photo maniplulation when an image is going to be in the media's eye. Like, pictures of celebrities who are on ads because it is not showing the public what you really look like and it is not giving the targeted audience the right information about the product that they are trying to sell.

B) In your opinion…Can you trust the images you see in the media? Why or why not?

In my opinion, I have to say no. The reason I said no is because from the reading “Photo Fakery” by Robert Fiete’s I have learned that not all images we see in the media are real. The images we see are in a way retouch or manipulated. Though some images we see are not clear to either if they manipulated or retouch, I learned that people who are experts with programs such as Adobe Photoshop can easily retouch and manipulate the images that we can not tell if they fake or not. From the reading Robert Fiete mention that “some people generate fake images for profit, selling pictures of alien, a ghost, or an alien ghost of Elvis to the tabloids.” This said that the reason people generate fake images is to get a profit.

C) In your opinion…when is photo manipulation “OK” and when is it “WRONG”? Explain ONE situation in which photo manipulation is acceptable, and ONE situation in which it is NOT.

I believe it is OK to manipulate images when you are trying to retouch it to make it better. For example, in cover magazines most celebrities don’t look as good as they do on the magazines. So what people do is after they taken the picture of the celebrity, they would transfer it to the computer and edit it with programs such as Adobe Photoshop. The reason people retouch the images are to make the celebrity look better and to get people interest in the magazine. That’s why the most important thing about a magazine is the cover. It is wrong to manipulate images when you are given false statements about a particular image to what its actual meaning or when you trying to hide the truth from the public. For example, the used of images in propagandas are wrong.

Blog 5: MORAL DILEMMAS IN MEDIA

A) From the reading…How do you know when an image is fake? Fiete cites 7 different ways to identify fake images. Explain 2 different techniques.

From the reading Robert Fiete cites 7 was to identify if an image is fake. One way to tell if an image is fake is if the images shows inconsistency in the shadows, coloring, and tone. When an image has shadows that are inconsistent with other shadows in the picture. Also if there are changes of color in the picture then that shows that the images has been altered. Another way to check if an image has been altered is that if it has inconsistent geometrics. For example all parallel lines in a scene have a vanishing point. If an image in a scene doesn't have a vanishing point that means that the image has been altered.

B) In your opinion…Can you trust the images you see in the media? Why or why not?

In my opinion you cannot trust any images that you see in the media because they are all altered. All image in the media have been altered. All the advertisements that we see on television and in magazines have been altered so the companies can show their product in the best possible way. Then when you actually buy the product you see that it is different then the produc t that was advertised.

C) In your opinion…when is photo manipulation “OK” and when is it “WRONG”? Explain ONE situation in which photo manipulation is acceptable, and ONE situation in which it is NOT.

In my opinion it is ok to manipulate an image when you are using it to create your own art. This would be an ok time to manipulate images because you are only doing it to express your creativity. It is wrong to manipulate images when you using it to deceive and trick people. One example of this would be advertisements. These are wrong to do because they use all sorts of techniques to make the product look really good but, in reality when you get the product it looks really different then the way it was advertised.

(a) I think the image was altered so people would believe that the product actually works, and would therefore buy it. What makes it look altered is that although the camera is so close, the model has little to no visible pores on her face, which is impossible in reality.

(b) The target audience are gullible people with really crappy skin, and who want to look beautiful.

(c) The intention of this image is to make people think that this product will clear up your skin, and make you look purdy.

B.I believe the target audience is women that wear make up.

C. The intention of the image is to make women make their make up. They are telling women that if they buy that make up, they look like the girl in the image.

Blog 4: Image Manipulation

I know for a fact this image has been altered because I created it last year for my history class. I altered this image to promote anti-violence. The target audience for this image were teenagers. My intentions for the impact of this image was to make people think about what is going on to the world and how the violence needs to come to an end.

Blog 4: A Maniplulated or Retouched Photo

This picture display the unforgiving families and friends from September 11 terrorist attack upon the United State. The reason I picked this picture is because I believe during this period it was very significant to American people; especially those who lost their love ones. Overall, thousands of innocent people died.


a) WHY do you think it was altered? (what about the image makes it look altered)
I think this picture was altered because of the different images manipulate to form a more powerful picture to show the event that is concerning. For example, in this picture you can see the World Trade Center blended in with the American flag and the Constitution, while the Statue of Liberty head is blended in the stars of the American flag. With these pictures put together we know the message that it is being said; in this case the message is about the tragedy of September 11 terrorist attacked on America killing innocent people.

b) WHO was the target audience?
I think the target audience for this picture is more about the American people; especially those who lost their love ones in the disaster of terrorist attack. This picture is dedicate that we will always remember and honor those who risked their lives to rescue the people and the death of the innocent people.

c) WHAT is the impact/intention of the image?
The impact of combining these images into one is because when they are formed as one picture it creates a more powerful image in showing a better understanding for the viewer. For example, if you only had an image of the American flag your first thought would be it symbolize America, but if you add in the World Trade Center, the Statue of Liberty, and the Constitution it creates and symbolize a different meaning. Now instead of symbolizing for America with the American flag, it symbolize the tragedy of September 11 terrorist attacked on America with the three other images added to the picture. The intention of this image is to show the remembrance of the tragedy happen on September 11, 2001 what U.S. has gone through.

d) WHERE did you find the image (include the URL)?

A) You can determine whether an image is fake by seeing if the image has physical properties such as a cameras effect edge’s sharpness, blurriness, focus and etc. A fake image doesn’t consist of these effects.
B) It depends on how you perceive the image, there are times were you look at the photograph in a magazine and realize that the image you are looking at is not exactly the same when you observe it up close. You can trust an image in the media when you see an image that looks real, but was probably done in Photoshop. For instance, when you come across an image in a magazine you notice a group of people you automatically start to think that these people are family members or friends. These people could probably don’t even know each other and be placed together in this one photo.
C) Photo manipulation is ok only when you’re re-touching your own photo or year book pictures; because some people would want to reminisce on the times they had in high school. Photo manipulation for advertisement is wrong because many older woman look at the young woman that are on the cover of a magazine selling this make-up products. The older woman start to think if the make-up this young woman is wearing would make them look younger. When in reality half these products that are on these advertisements don’t even work.

a) i think this image was altered because first of the lighting on the car goes for lite to dark to lite. another reason why i think thtis picture was alterd is because the shadow does not mact the shape of the car as you can see behind the trunk.

One of the photographs we studied in the Photojournalism lecture, "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" by Rosenthal, is the subject of a major motion picture directed by Clint Eastwood entitled "The Flags of Our Fathers." It is due to be released this fall.

"February 1945. Even as victory in Europe was finally within reach, the war in the Pacific raged on. One of the most crucial and bloodiest battles of the war was the struggle for the island of Iwo Jima, which culminated with what would become one of the most iconic images in history: five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi. The inspiring photo capturing that moment became a symbol of victory to a nation that had grown weary of war and made instant heroes of the six American soldiers at the base of the flag, some of whom would die soon after, never knowing that they had been immortalized."

1. well when you ask if i can trust a pictures you see in the media i think it depends on what you are talking about. for example if there is a woman looking for some sort of plastic surgery. on the internet and on T.V. there are before and after pictures so then maybe the after pic of some other woman cant be trusted because people will do anything to get publicity. so maybe this woman gets her surgery and she wonders why she looks so horrible but on tv it looks so good.

a second example where pics cantb e trusted is those loose weightcomercial with the weight loss pills. people in the comercials look all extra plastic when in actuality thats is not how it is.

a last example of hpw pics are unworth is the pics of models and how young ladies think that is is true beauty. some of these picture consist of people with no pores in their skin. we all have pores. this is all false advertisment and cant be trustd.







2. how to differenciate a credible picture from one that is not credible. it depends on what the photo is pertinent to. the given examples above are questionable. the weight loss pictures and plastic sergery pictions can and cant be deamed as credible. but the super model pictures are automatically known as not credible. not saying that these women and mean for that matter arent beautiful. make up works real miracles. it hides alot. as shown here: http://homepage.mac.com/gapodaca/digital/bikini/index.html. these are examples og what make up does. it decieves you. these pictures are not credible.

3. manipulating a photo isnt always bad. its ok when the picture is not bwin used to scam people like for advirtisment purposes. like cartoons or art work. artist have different visions some of which include manipulation to their art. an artist cant be faulted for a manipualted picture because it is the way they see it. an example of art that is manipulated is shown here: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.rafelalmaary.com/images/manipulated-images/SunFlower.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.rafelalmaary.com/manipulated-images.htm&h=404&w=595&sz=90&hl=en&start=3&tbnid=uc3lPBqiGYZc1M:&tbnh=92&tbnw=135&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmanipulated%2Bpicture%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN

visual:
here its ok because ur your scaming anyone and because an artist has the right to be creative. its also beautiful.

A) i dont think you can always trust the things in media.Ithink that because im ages can be retouched and you not even know it. not all images are real images. so you really dont know which images you can truely trust
B) I know when an image is credible when the image has not ben messed with. when it acctually and not a fariy tale
C) photo manipulation is okay for like family or school photos if requested. photo manipulation is not okay when you do it to change a ppersons whole appearance. for instance in magazines and on the internet most people dont really look like that so it wouldnt be right.

D)one way of telling if an image is fake is if the image has been alterd by an existing image that was taken by a camera. another way of telling is by altering the context of an image. like saying something is one thing but it really isn't .

Blog # 5: Moral Dilemas in Media

A) The pictures in the media some of them you can trust them but anything else no. The reason why I say this is because pictures would be close up to the face and other body parts it would look to perfect with a physical change. This also includes adveristment for other companies to get publicity. Only types pictures you can trust is althelic sports.
B) The was you can tell you that image has been retouched is by looking at the image pointing out what's perfect or not. As evident you look at a basketball "LeBron James" pictures they're in action and not retouched with any type of make-up. Another is when you look on the cover of essence magazine the image is retouched with make-up and you see all the blumishes on the person's face.
C) The times you should be able to manipuate a pictures is when your comparing and contrasting. It isn't okay when you advertising false information about somebody. This concludes that nothing in the world could be perfect.
D) The way you can tell if a picture is fake is when the image is faded in or out including having make- up to cover-up the blumishes and pores of a person face, but when it comes to the person body they make skin all smooth and shiny. One Robert's Fiete ways of pointing out a fake picture is when the content of the image is altered. The reason how you can tell is when you like physical traits to see which one is using the photographer imagination. Another factor is illumination characteristics of a scene. You can tell when you have 3d image that is being illuminated or faded/shadow to make it appealing to the viewer.

Blog 5 : Moral Dilemmas in Media

When it comes to media, we have alot of dilemmas that we deal with. For example, we have pictures that are very fake.
a.) I know when a picture is fake because you can see blemishes and spots in the picture were the photographer forces it. In most supermodels pictures or even a regular picture that was manipulated, you can something that is larger like he breasts or her eyes.
b.) In media today, alot of photographers can have pictures that can make a person think about something. Forexample, if a kid sees a picture of 50 Cent with a gun he would want to get a gun because he thinks it is ok because 50 Cent has one. But most pictures are good for our media like when they are advertising for cars or girl stuff.

This picture is a picture of Last years Hurricane Katrina. I picked this picture because I felt that Hurricane Katrina was something very powerful last year because so many people lost family members, their love ones, and their personal belongings that they cherished. I think this picture was altered because of the different mixtures of colors. For example you can see “The Times” newspaper then you can see someone’s house with trees going across the paper in a straight line. I think the target audience for this picture could have been anybody from children to adults. But in this picture the people that went through Hurricane Katrina suffered a lot. Like the lady in this picture this is what people had to go through. A lot of people lost their homes, and companies. Also you can see a little bit how people had to leave their cars and travel on foot. Hurricane Katrina was a very bad time for the Southeast and it will always be remembered as the years go on.

In media class seminar we covered on a lot of things. First it was the introduction on Blogoshere then we did photo analysis were we had to look for a picture and talk about how it impacted the world. In blogger 4 we had to look for pictures that had been manipulated with and talk about it. You can’t always trust the images in media because they might have been manipulated in a way so it can attract a certain group. The actual picture might have been changed like the color and the appearance. You can never know when an image is credible or not because it might just look that good or it was change. The only way you no if an image is credible or not is if you took the picture you’re self. Sometimes when you have those digital cameras they have brighten and darken on it. Manipulation is ok when you’re trying to make a point like feed the children or war pictures. It is wrong when your making a persons body unreal and women try to get that body and can’t.

In the car picture its ok because its showing of the style of the car even though its altered.

In the other picture the lady has no pures and this is not ok because then ladys will start to by this product and it doesn't work because the picture was altered.

This picture is a photo of Albert Einstein, and he is riding a bicycle. Of course the bicycle has many shapes of all sizes. and there are two bicycles in the picture. Also there is a tree in the background and a little alcove. maybe an outside hallway. It is also in black and white.
This photo makes me feel as though Albert E. is just learning how to ride a bike and he is successful. i also think that he is having a good time because he is smiling. The weather also looks very nice.
I dont have any prior knowledge on this photo. But I knew that it was Einstein becasue of the hair and the time of year.
I can concluded that the photographer wanted to capture Einstein in his glory days when he was just starting to invent things.

In this image you can see a young girl holding a gun. She’s also holding bullets. The girl is very serious and she looks like she is waiting for commands. In the back you see other people with guns. In the left arm you can see that they have Colombian flag colors. The people are all wearing army fatigue. They are also wearing boots and hat.
I see a young girl in the army. I feel very sad because I think that maybe this is a young girl that had to go to the army because it’s the only way that she can help her family. When I look at the girls eyes I can see that she look likes she’s proud and she’s ready for anything. She looks very prepare and confident.
Reading about this image I found out that this a teenage Colombian girl. She’s involved in a group name FARC. They kill innocent Colombians because they want to take over the counties government. I learned looking at this image that 6,000 children are believed to be fighting in Colombia. A third of these kids are females. Many of the kids are forced to join the groups. Some other times the children decide to join the group because they offer money.
The photographer took this image because he wanted to raise awareness. The photographer wanted to inform the public about the situation in Colombia. I think he took the photo that way because a young girl holding a gun is not something you see everyday. I think other people reaction when looking at this image is surprise and impress. I think if people look at this image they probably will decide to help the kids so this image is raising social awareness.

In this photograph I see before and after pictures of Japan. At first you see buildings and then in the after picture you see no buildings in it and it looks like a desert.

I see a city and then the after effects of the explosion and it makes me feel bad about what happend after seeing the devistation of the attack.

This event took place during world war 2 and was the event that made Japan surrender.

The photogrophers intentions were to show the devestation that the united states caused when they bombed japan.

In this image I see five African children who seems like they are hungry and sick. It seems like they are locked into a room with bars as if they are in jail. You can't tell the season that they are in but it is sunny and it may be hot.

My personal feelings about this image is that I feel bad for these children because they are poor and the probably don't have a family who loves them and who can take care of them. When I look at this image I wonder children who are ashy, dirty, and they don't look healthy. It makes me think of how good of a life that I have, that involes a lovable family, food to eat, water to drink and bathe in, and clothes that I can fit.

My prior knowledge based on this photo is that in Africa kids and even adults struggle to take care of themselves. This picture was taken recently of the children.

I think that photograpger took this picture so that people can see how African children are living. I think that other people's reactions would be the same as mine.

Blog 5: Moral dilemas in media

A) You can sometimes trust images in the media. It sort of depends on what it is a picture of if its a close up of a persons face and they have a perfect face you can not trust that because no ones face is perfect. The same goes for cars and food ads. The types of images you can trust is sports pictures taking during a game because 99% of the time those are striate up pictures.

B) Some of the ways you can tell if an image is credible is if the image is looks real and you can tell if it hasnt been retouched or not. For example if you see a picture of a athlete on the field those are real. If you see a picture of a model on the cover of a magazine most if not all of the time the photo has been retouched.

C) Some of the times when its okay to manipulate a photo is when you are trying to sell a product like are car or some food products and things of that nature. Some of the times when its not okay to manipulate a photo is when you put a girl on the cover of a magazine because of the fact that you are promoting false beauty. Those girls all have the perfect face with the perfect body and in reality that doesn't exist.

D) One technique in determing wheather a image is fake or not is when the context is altered is to identify aspects of the image that are inconsitent with the image description. Another technique in determing wheather a image is fake is to focus on the aspects that make its unbelievable.

Blog 5 :Moral Dilemmas in Media/IP Term 1

A) From the reading… How do you know when an image is fake? Fiete cities 7 different ways to identify fake images. Explain 2 Different techniques.

Inconsistency- When an image is altered you can tell if a section of the image does not blend with the rest. For example, if the color or does not match up with the rest of the image like if the glossy paint job on a car, making it extra shiny then the image may have been altered. You can also tell by inconsistent lighting and shadowing are things that you also might see.

Context Altering- context altering is the mostly used image editing technique. You change the context of an image then claim that the image is of something else. You can also change the content of an image by placing an image on a different image to create an image with a new meaning. It's hard to notice with altered context but always one part of the image that makes it unbelievable

B) In your opinion…Can you trust the images you see in the media? Why or why not?
I can not trust the images I see in the media because I now that they could be altered to be anything that the artist wants it to be for that reason. After seeing many before-and-after pictures of the models I don't know what is real anymore. I can't trust images anymore since I can't tell if they're real or not.

C) In your opinion…when is photo manipulation “OK” and when is it “WRONG”? Explain ONE situation in which photo manipulation is acceptable, and ONE situation in which it is NOT.C) 1. A situation when a photo should be retouched is when the artist is trying to persuade the viewer into helping the human kind to be better and making people feel sorry and depressed. 2. A situation when a photo should not be touched is when the artist is trying to persuade the viewer into buying companies products or for a lie.

D) From the reading the way that I know how an images is fake is because of the lighting in the photo and the way objects are positioned.

When I first looked at this picture the first thing I recognized was a young child with a paper hat on his head that has a saying on it: Don’t make me an orphan by dying from aids.

When looking at this picture I see an African child that looks no older than 8. The first thing I say to my self is this child is full innocence. It makes me start to think that just because kids are young they still know what’s happening in our world today. Parents and grown-ups can no longer try to hide information from them. When I look at him I could tell in the look in his eyes that he has been or has seen it all. He knows HIV/Aids are the most deadly disease in American especially in Africa. As soon as I read the writing on his paper hat “Don’t make me an orphan by dying from aids.” I start to think if his mother or father is suffering from Aids and he doesn’t want to become an orphan when they die.

I don’t know when HIV/Aids had begun, but I do know that during 1940s HIV had jumped from animals to humans. To this day many people are suffering from this disease. In 2006, approximately millions of people are suffering with this disease about half of the number of people that are suffering from it doesn’t even know it. Many people though the only people to get this disease is by having sexual intercourse with the same gender. What people really don’t know is that you can get HIV when you use the same needle as someone else. People who inject themselves with drugs also risk infecting themselves with HIV.

The photographer’s intention on this photo was to show viewers that not only should we acknowledge the importance behind HIV/aids but the message this child is displaying on his hat. The photographer is letting the audience know not only does this disease affect adults but it affects young ones!

Blog 5: Moral Dilemmas in Media/ IP Term 1

From what I' ve learned thus far in Media Seminar Ive come to the conclusion that in some cases you can't trust the images you see in the media but then in other cases you can. The reason why i say that you can trust the images you see in the media is because based on Blog 3 where i found a picture of a woman in the mist of 9/11 it was clearly a real experience and it was obvious that the picture was not manipulated in any way. When you look at a pictures you bring along what you already know and interpert the picture from there. And from what i know about 9/11 and from what the newspaper and television has exposed to the public this picture looks as if it is VERY accurate. But then again you cant trust some pictures in the media. I say this because in the media they portray Celebrities as being the epitome of real beauty. When you see them on the cover of magazines they look FLAWLESS. They have no bumps, pimples, zits, and for that matter pores. In reality we know that there is no one with a face that flawless that they heve no pores. Its not reality, its a product of photoshop.

You can tell that a picture is credible or not by looking at the source. If your ever in doubt about if a picture is credible or not ask yourself: does the picture look professional? Is the picture from a source that produces well know pictures?. Or does the picture have errors or things that look out of place?

Many people have diffrent beliefs about what is exceptable when it comes to manipulating photos. In my opinion manipulating photos is okay in many diffrent aspects. It's okay when your taking a school photo and you have an unexpected bump on your face, in art, and for entertainment. I also believe something controversial. I believe it is okay to manipulate photos when selling a product. Many makeup companies sell their makeup beside the picture of a "flawless" face and many of the headlines say "Unmistakably Beautyful" or "Want Beautyful Skin." People believe that this is false advertising and deception but i dont. I believe that its fine. This is becasue if you put the face of a regular looking person on the cover of a makeup product box then most likely the product isnt going to be sold. Think about it; people wear makeup because they want to cover there normal face and make it look better then it really is. So why would someone want to see a imperfect face on a bottle of make that they want to make them look perfect?

A good way to be able to tell if a photo is fake is to see if anything in the picture is inconsistent with the image discription. Another way is by looking to understand the image formation properties of a camera. If you know that then you know when a picture is real.

Moral Dilemmas in Media

Some images in the media can be trusted, because it's not like everything can be manipulated as an advantage. Some things don't even need to be manipulated for that matter. Although I do believe that most images in media are manipulated and cannot be trusted due to the misrepresentation of it. Obviously no one wants to make it known that their products are digitally manipulated but it's very misleading.
Fortunately fellow designers/ photographers can usually tell the difference between a photo that's manipulated and one that's not. It's not always that obvious but when you fathom the possibilities of photo manipulation it's hard not to be able at least a dozen things has been manipulated.
I can't be hypocritical and say that not informing your audience of manipulation is not okay because I do it a lot. But depending on the nature of the media and the cause for manipulation... Some may deserve an explanation or at least a notice that something has been manipulated. It should probably okay in most cases since manipulation is probably the number one factor of good advertising. Sometimes it's not always bad but always letting people know when something is manipulated wouldn't hurt because it won't undermine our advertisers trust but at the same time it gets us where we need to be, to be successful.

Photo Manipulation

i think this image was manipulated to get a veiwers attention. from my view it looks like the target audience is scientist

Manipulated / Retouched Photo

this image is reduced because the right regular picture shoulnt be swirled like this. the dolphins should be in tact and water doesnt look that shiny and 3-D. this photo looks like it was retouched in photoshop. it is very beautiful.

My Retouched Pic

In this pic, as you can see this elderly womans pic was retouched. I don't know what kind of technology they use but they did a marvelous job on the picture.
As you can see, the woman on the left has very deep wrinkles as if she was 90 years old!! However, the picture on the left makes her look like she is in he late 40's

i believe this picture of nicole richy on the cover of seventeen magazine has been alter. I believe this because its not uncommon for a celebrity to have gotten a blemish, pimp or zit photoshoped so that they look flawless on the cover of a magazine. if you zoom in on a untouched picture you can see the pores of the persons face but in this picture if you zoom in you see no pores and me all know that everyone has pores on the face.
The target audience of this picture was for teen girls. this is obvious because its on the cover of SEVENTEEN magazine.
The intension of this picture was to draw teenage girls to the magazine. Nicole Richy is very what i would call "fetch" someone like her would be perfect for the cover of a teen mag

a) The reason this picture was altered is to get the customers attention to want them to buy that type of sneaker.

b) The target audience is anyone who likes jordans and would want to pay more than 100 dollars on their sneakers.

C) My reason why it was altered is to make the jordans look fresh and make them look powerful and superior to any type of sneaker.

I think the image was altered because the photographer wanted this photo to grab the viewers’ attention. By getting their attention he had the model Naomi from America’s Next Top Model take a picture falling from the sky.

The target audience is viewers that like to watch America’s Next Top Model and agencies from the modeling world and the fashion industry.

The photographer is trying to emphasis his imagination, and creativity.

A) The reason why the image was altered was to make the car more appealing to the consumer. The car in the image has a very good paint job and everything on the car looks fresh

B) The target audience is anyone looking to buy a new car. Also it is targeting anyone who likes cars and collects them.

C) The intention of the image is to make the car look good and make you want to drive it. The impact of the image is to make people go out and buy the car and try to impress people.

What people & objects do you see? I see what look like American Soldiers and Military boats

What is the setting and season? The setting is on the beach of Normandy. It looks like it is the summer season.


Is it posed or candid? It is candid because the soldeirs are getting ready to go into battle and are not posed.

What do you know about this time period or event? I know during this time that World War 2 was goin on and up until this battle the Allies were losing and the Axes were winning until this battle turned the tide of the war.


What can you conclude about the photographer’s intention? Why did the photographer take this photo in this way? I can conclude that the photogrpahor was actually there during the D-Day. I think the photographor took it this way because he wanted to show the audience what it feels like as you are getting prepared to fight.

What can you conclude about other people’s reaction to this image? I think that other people would probably see the smoke and think that it was a chaotic places with people dying everywhere.

What, if any, kind of historical impact, social awareness, or call to action may have resulted by the publicity of this photo? It got people wanting to help the soldiers out by probably signing up for the army.

This picture makes me feel very sad because the soldiers know they might not come back home.

Blog 3: Photo Analysis

This is an image of kids starving in Africa. I see about 15 kids half naked in the hot sun hungry. Looking at the image you can see almost every kids ribcage. Very few of the children in the image look happy. The image isn't candid because not all of the children are posing for the camera.

This picture makes me feel really bad for these children. It makes me want to help by donating money or food. It is sad how these kids in Africa are starving and people in America are taking things that we are fortunate to have for granted. This makes me think about how fortunate I am to have the things I do have.

It is sad to know that there are kids in the world starving everyday. I have never truly known approximately how many people suffer from hunger in Africa until I found this picture. It has been stated that around 11 million people suffer from hunger in Africa and throughout the world not including the U.S. 852 million people are starving. These numbers are shocking and make me wonder how this even began.

Just from looking at this image I can tell that the photographer's intentions were to make people more aware of what is going on. Instead of talking about what is going on the photographer captured it to have a bigger impact. This photo really makes people stop and think about how unfortunate this situation is. It possibly might even make people want to do something to help. This and the many other photos have had to have some kind of imact on someone to make them want to do something to help.

Blog 3 : Photo Analysis

I see a crowd of black people packed together against a grey background, and only their heads can be seen. In front of them are the heads of two army soldiers. The centerpiece of the image is a crying baby being held up in the air above the crowd. Well, since this a Hurrican Katrina picture, the season is summer. This is a candid picture, seeing as everyone looks way too miserable to be posing.

The dark background on which the picture was taken gives the picture a sort of depressive tone. And to top it off, the crying baby pulls on the hearstrings. When I see the crowd of people, it makes me think of panic and misery. When I see the crying baby, it makes me think about suffering. And seeing the soldiers, they kind of look indifferent, and that they're not doing much to help. It all kind of gives me a feeling of helplessness, like there's nothing I can do but watch them suffer.

What I know about Hurricane Katrina from the news was that it was one heck of a hurricane. In summer 2005, the hurricane flooded and destroyed a big portion of New Orleans, Louisiana, and the Gulf Coast. Citizens were stranded and in need of help, and the US took their sweet time getting there. Citizens in our own country had horrible living conditions, with dirty clothes, no home, and no food or clean drinking water. They were considered "refugees", which I thought was kind of an insult. As a result, the government got major criticism because of their slow response to the disaster. It was a wake up call to the United States that they need to be better prepared to handle crises within our own country.

The photographer's intention was to make us empathize what the victims of the hurricane were feeling, by setting the mood with dark color tones, and the crying baby. I'm pretty sure that other people would react to the picture the same way I did, which was helpless, and not able to do anything about it. The publicity of this photo caused the United States to put some more pep in their step in helping the hurricane victims, and has spawned many volunteers, average people like myself, who were donating goods, with some actually going down there and lending a helping hand.

Blog 3: Photo Analysis

In this image some of the things that I see are Nancy Reagan wife of former President Ronald Reagan, officers, and people. Nancy Reagan and the people look on as former President Ronald Regan’s casket is transferred by the officers onto a horse-drawn. This image is taken to show the emotions of the people and Nancy Reagan as Ronald Regan’s casket is being transferred onto a horse-drawn. The setting of this image is taken at 1600 Constitution Avenue near the White House. The season this was taken place was in the summer time. This image is candid because this was taken place on June 9, 2004.

From my point of view, I see depressing and downhearted. This makes me feel depressing, but at the same time I feel great that a lot of people were there to honor Ronald Reagan. This also makes me feel that this is how everyone should act to honor and help others, instead of violence and hating one another that is happening around the world.

Some of the things I know about this event is that Ronald Regan died of pneumonia on June 5, 2004 at his home in Bel-Air, California. After the state funeral in Washington that drew leaders from around the world, he was buried at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

I think the photographer intention was to let us see from a distance to see the emotions of the people and Nancy Reagan. By taking this image from a distance the photographer was able to show a wide image of the things that was happening as former President Ronald Regan’s casket is being transferred by the officers onto a horse-drawn. I think when other people see this picture they will feel the same as I do, depressed.

In this photo I see Jewish people getting packed to the sides in a convoy by Nazi’s. There are wheels and squares, an arch and several other shapes. The setting looks to be a warm sunny day in a Nazi controlled area. The season in which the photo was taken seems to be the summer time. This photo is candid and untouched by anyone at anytime.
From my point of view I see suffering, devastation, and separation. This makes me feel as if the world doesn’t do enough to stop its own peoples suffering. If somebody really wanted to help they would have acted on Germany’s weird behavior before something of this magnitude happened. If someone really wanted to help out Germany after WW1 then they would have occupied Germany and help that country get back on its feet. But people chose to stay out of the way until someone attacks them.
Before this assignment I knew Adolf Hitler took over a weakened Germany in 1933 after WW1. He wowed audiences with his charisma and propaganda that sounded right to the Germans. He killed 11 million people in the “racial cleansing” in which 6 million Jewish people perished. He was also the cause of WWII. He killed himself in 1944. I assume he thought he was doing the right thing at the time.
I think the photographer wanted us to see how the Jewish people were being taken out of their homes and taken to their deaths by the Nazi officers. They took the photos this way so you could see the raw human emotion on the peoples faces. I think when other people see this picture they feel sad and helpless because there is nothing they can’t do anything about it. I think this photo was taken during the events of WWII but was only displayed after the war to show how horrific the events that Nazi Germany had put into place were.

This image of the shrine of a young black mother who goes by the name Analicia "Anna" Perry. She died this summer by a bullet to the head while litting one of the candles at the same spot her brother was ittentionally murder at. The shrine captures loneliness and sadness to the poeple who knew her and what she capable of by being a proud mother and wanting the best for her child. The sad part is not being there for your love one and watching her grow.

In this divesting picture it seems to be that there are 5 children in this pictures dying of starvation. The way that this picture makes me feel is terrible that human beings have to go through life living like this. Why is it that people know that these things are going on and letting it happen around the world? They have the money to contribute to giving them food and clothing. It is just disgusting to see this and know that I can’t be able to do nothing about it as of yet.

If you look closely in the picture there are two little children, one of them is sitting of the floor and one of them is lying on the mothers lap. It took me little while to notice this and when I did I was in aw. To be that small and skinny who could not feel sorry for these people.

About 50,000 people die every day in the Third World under this condition alone. Just imagine how many other people are dying under other conditions. When you think about how do you feel does it make you feel outraged or does it make you feel nothing at all because you do know these people. I bet if you were in their position you would want them to help you right

In this picture I see a woman who has a wombed eye due to 9/11. In the picture the woman is trying to make her way from the site w/ help from another man. You can tell that the man was also invovled in the accident b/c his clothing is dusty and dirty too. In the background b/c you can see a ambulence so this indicates that this woman isn't the only injured person there.
When looking at this picture I felt bad for the women and men invovled b/c they had been badly hurt. I also felt bad for eveyone (universally) because if you weren't invovled physically in Sept. 11th you were in some way invoved b/c you had to know someone that was invovled or because after sept.11 there had been major contraversy that effected all of the U.S.
September 11th is a very important date in the U.S. history. On sept.11 3 plans were crashed in to the twin towers and into the world trade center. These planes were crashed by about 12 Saudi Arabians. As a result thousands of people died and 100s were injured.
This picture impacted me in a huge way. It helped me to get an actual look @ the scene of sept.11.

My Devestating Picture

In this a devastating picture, this child from Niger is suffering from starvation. He and his whole country is suffering the same way this young child is.
From seeing this picture, I already fell devastated for them. As you can see this child is crying from no food. It looks like his eye is getting infected by bugs, and his mouth is terribly dry. Also his arms are very skinny and his body is as well.
If i was involved in this situation, i would go all the way to America and bring back loads of food and supplies. Even clean clothes for the youngsters. I would work along with Oprah to get her to make a news conference and a charity fund for the Nigerians.

Blog 3 : Photo Analysis

The photograph I found was in Life magazins one hundered photos that changed the world. It is a photo of Buchenwald in 1949.It is a black and white still photo.There is a lady at the left side of the picter crying at dead bodys. The army men in the back of the picter are standing or walking. The bodys of the dead people are naked and in a pile.

I see a lady crying at the bodys that is there. Maby she sees someone she knows or she is just sick of what was going on. The concentration camp of all those dead Jews make me sick to my stomach , to think that a humen wanted to kill other innocent humans is inreal. It makes me think of all those dead slaves that came to America to be killed because they were different.

The photographer is Margaret Bourke-White he went with platton troops to liberate concentration camps. The army made German civilians walk threw the camps to see what there nation did with the Jews. Hitler killed over a million Jews men, women, and children in those camps. The camps had gas chambers that they killed the Jews in. These events that happened so long ago still affect this world today.

The photographer's intention was probley to show the world what was going on in Germany. She wanted the world to know that the dehumanizing of the Jews was real. Who every sees this photo would be disgested by the bodys. Other people reaction would probley make them want to find out more about the picter and help . Then who ever looks at this photo would tell other people about it and then the meida would tell the world.

Blog 3 Photo Analysis

Some of the things that I see in the image is to buildings with smoke coming out. The two buildings are around many other buildings. The image is arranged by it is taken from a distance so that the viewer can capture the full effect on what has taken place. You can not see any people in the picture. The objects that I see are bulidings. The image is candid.

I see the two towers going up and smoke. Also I can see the fire starting to over whlem the buildings. Also you can see the airplanes crashing into the building.

Some of the things that i know about the event is that 4 planes were hijacked from logan airport and to were sent into the towers one was sent into the pentagon and the other crashed in PA before arriving at its destination.

The photographers intention was to let you see from a distance what was unfoldingas the two towers were hit. By taking the picture from a distance the photographer was able to show the towers and everything around it. I think when other people see the image they would react by it was a tagedy that should have never took place many innocent people lost their lifes for no reason. I think that september 11 will go down history. And it goes to show you never take life for granted because you never know when its going to end. Also after september 11 security tightened up and now the country is more aware so they can prevent this type of thing for ever happening again.

A)The class title (Media that Matters Seminar : Transformation - Moving Images and Moving Forward) basically means that media changes things. Media impacts the whole world and whoever controls it the most has a good source of power. Using images in media depicts what point or message someone or some group is trying to make known. The people who use media expose to whoever sees it what they see, believe, what they know, and or what they want people to know, and they want to move forward in life promoting what they know or believe.
B)The media I planned to bring to class was in the form of music. It was a rap cd by Tupac Shakur. It's main idea was about revolution. The message was that he was loyal to the type of life he was living because of what he's been through in his years of living.

Transformation - Moving Images and Moving Forward

The meaning of the title "Transformation - Moving Images and Moving Forward" is that it explains what we'll be focusing on this year as a class. We will focus on transforming images, making moving images, and "moving forward" which might mean we'll take image editing to the next level.

The type of media I brought to class was a beautiful, young woman, smoking a cigarette. The message this image gave me was that if you want to be cool, pretty, and fit in, then you should smoke. I also think that girl was bulimic. I don't know why, but she just had that bulimic, "I'm not perfect! URGHHH!!!!" look to her.

Media seminar homework 1

A.Media seminar is a class in which we make videos and analyze media all around us such as in magazines and on TV
