Summer Plans - Your Story Pt.2

Students at Akins High School are ready for summer! The year has gone by extremely fast & is almost over. Summer plans are important. No one wants to be stuck at home while they can be exploring & having fun with family & friends.
From babysitting to sports, Akins students tell what their plans are for summer 2010.
“My plans for the summer involve playing softball. It occupies most of my time,” Freshman Amanda Alanis said.
Many students at Akins are athletic, but a lot of them also have responsibilities. These responsibilities include babysitting, cleaning the house, and some students have jobs.
“With all the brothers & sisters I have, I know I’m going to have to babysit,” Sophomore Virginia Hernandez said.
Once those responsibilities are handled, it’s time for fun! Students enjoy going to many different places during the summer. When asked what their favorite water parks & theme parks were the answers were Schlitterbahn & Six Flags.
“I love the heat & being outdoors during the summer. There’s a lot to do like going to theme parks & water parks,” Sophomore Virginia Hernandez said.
Although some people don’t like road trips because of the sitting involved, the activities to do once you get to your destination are always new & exciting.
“The best vacation spot is definitely South Padre Island. It’s so pretty,” Sophomore Virginia Hernandez said.
Most of the time, students have no rides so they end up stuck at home until their parents can take them somewhere. How often do you stay at home?
“I’m only inside my house on weekdays because of my parents,” Sophomore Virginia Hernandez said.

Cover History

1. Early Magazine Covers



Many of the early magazine covers had the magazine name & the table of contents on the front. Later the covers became similar to the covers of books. They contained the title & publication date. There was no words on the cover to describe what you would find in the book. On the cover, the picture provided was to show the purpose of the magazine & not to show the contents.


2. The Poster Cover


The Poster Cover on magazines created memories, artistic view, & images that were fun to view. The covers of these huge magazines looked as if they were ready to be framed & hung on someone's wall.

Tips On The Portrait

Looking Off Camera - Playing With Eye Contact : have your subject focus their attention on something unseen and outside the field of view of your camera.
Play With The Background : 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.
Experiment With Subject Expressions : In some portraits it is the expression on the face of your subject that makes the image.
Fill The Frame : Fill It With Something That Catches The Eye.

Photos Of The Year 2009

This picture caught my eye because the colors make it pop out. The other thing in this picture that is appealing is the way it's in focus. You can't see what's going on in the background, just the flag.

I like this picture, because she's interacting with the "people." It looks like she's actually participating in what they're doing. She has put herself in the middle so it looks like she's taking part in what's going on.

The picture shows emotion & tells a story. Clearly, this man's house burns down. The lighting in the picture creates a spotlight on him in the kitchen that helps get his emotions or feelings across from the look on his face.
