I chose to replicate a Sports Illustrated cover featuring Mike Trout. I chose to replicate this cover because my bestest friend in the whole wide world is a baseball player. Essentially all I did to create this magazine cover was I took a couple of images from the internet and put them on the picture of Dylan. Then I created a bunch of text boxes to create the headers and then changed the fonts and styles. My setup was as follows: studio strobe light, a gray cloth backdrop, Nikon D7100, a soft box and a baseball bat. I used many different fonts and sizes to create my magazine. A strobe light is a very bright light that flashes. You would use a strobe light to create a big flash of light when you take a photo and it helps indoors in rooms without a lot of light. A modeling light is a continuous light source that allows the photographer to visualize what kind of light the photo will display. A soft box is nothing more than a light modifier. A soft box diffuses the light into a pleasing soft, even light. A reflector is simply a piece of material that used for reflecting light in a required direction. A gray card is a middle gray reference, typically used to together with a reflective light meter, as a way to produce consistent image exposure and/or color in film and photography. A radio trigger system that establishes a connection between your camera and the strobe light. The system detects when you push the shutter release and then flashes the strobe light.

This image was taken at my school Rancho Buena Vista High School. The compositional rule of symmetry is portrayed in my photograph. I used a Nikon D5300 camera with an 18- 140mm lens. In order to create my photograph I used Adobe Photoshop and essentially just took a small portion of a bigger photo and repeated and flipped it 3 more times in separate quadrants. My image is in the digital illustration and painting division because it doesn’t belong in any of the other ones.
