This document discusses the process of choosing an image for a double page spread (DPS) magazine article. The author took several test photos of models posing as a family, experimenting with camera angle, lighting, and composition. None of the initial test photos were suitable for various reasons such as visible phones, unnatural facial expressions, or including unwanted background items. The chosen photo depicted the models smiling and in close proximity with toys in the foreground, conveying the intended message of a happy family unit.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
3. Inspiration This front cover image of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was inspiration for the type of image I would like to use for my double page spread. Because my subject is on the family life of a hip-hop star I need an image showing an ‘insight into his life.’ This photo gives a very serene and calming sense to how their lives are outside of the celebrity status and hectic fame they’re a part of. The costume is clearly planned as they’re all in a specific colour scheme of white which adds to the purity and innocence the newborn children bring to the image. The loving facial expressions on Angelina’s face reinforces the care and devotion behind a family bond.
4. Inspiration This picture of Jamie Lynn Spears was one that I liked and used as inspiration for the type of image I would like to use for my double page spread. I like the ‘sudden’ aspect of the image and the fact that it is a relatable to the audience seeing it. This is because many people can recall a time in their life that someone may have suddenly said “smile” or something similar and immediately had their picture taken, without being ready for it. Some people in this situation may shy away and hide their face, or others may strike a pose such as this. My notion of it being an unexpected picture is being proven by the outfits both baby and Jamie are wearing. They are in casual wear which is typical of the clothes you wear when relaxing at home. This is another aspect I am a fan of because of the casual sense the image gives off. It is the polar opposite of the glamorous celebrity ‘perfect image’ we as viewers as so used to seeing. The laid back tone is the same type I’m going for my double page spread image.
5. Initial DPS idea My initial double page spread idea was to be of a feud between two hip-hop rivals. I got this idea from the ‘beef’ between the two female hip-hop adversaries NickiMinaj and Lil’ Kim. This dispute began over Lil’ Kim believing that NickiMinaj was trying to take over her spot in the hip-hop game after by being the only other female rapper. Using this as inspiration, my idea was to shoot two people who are supposedly rivals and use one of them to be interviewed for my double page spread text. First photo shoot images: Lil’ Kim NickiMinaj
6. Possible DPS image This is an image I took as a ‘tester’ shot. Therefore, it is unsuitable for the use of my double page spread image. The reason behind taking this tester shot was to see the mise-en-scene, check the lighting and to see if the position where I was standing was an appropriate place in order to get the perfect shot. Certain aspects of this image show that it is a shot used as a tester. For instance, the older female model’s phone is visible in the shot and her shoes are still on which doesn’t imply the typical ‘homey’ feel. The male model’s facial expression shows that the picture was unexpectedly taken and looks almost in a state of shock, which is in complete contrast to the other two female models who managed to subtly pose.
7. Possible DPS image This is another image I took during my photo shoot for my double page spread. There are quite a few things that make this image unacceptable for my spread in the magazine. Once again, the older female model’s phone is in clear view and her facial expression looks slightly forced. There is also a small camera spot that is present in this image which could draw the attention away from the family. Another aspect of this image that makes it unsuitable is the male model’s facial expression. The image should have connotations of love and unity between a family, instead of curiosity and a sense of peculiarity which the male model’s expression seems to suggest. The proximity of all 3 models in this image is also not ideal as the younger female model looks rather squashed in the middle.
8. Possible DPS image This is another picture that cannot be used for my double spread. Whilst taking the images, I experimented with holding to camera both portrait and landscape to take the pictures. This is an example of when I took the picture in a portrait setting and the result is not of high quality. Although the older male and female models are in a nice pose, the majority of the sofa is cut off which just makes the image look unprofessional. The younger female model however, had gotten a little aggravated and is therefore looking sad in the image and is in fact not looking up at the camera. This would not be suitable with the overall theme I was aiming for so this is a large component in the image’s unsuitability to my double page spread. The position I was holding the camera in when taking this image was not ideal as I held it too far down, exposing part of the female model’s feet and the carpet beneath. The female model’s phone once again made yet another appearance!
9. Possible DPS image As well as experimenting with camera orientation, I also played around with having the setting on flash both on and off. This is an example of when I took the picture horizontally and without flash. As a result of this, the image came out slightly blurred and with a tint browny-orange colour, as if the sepia effect had been added – which wasn’t. Apart from the obvious blur making it unacceptable to use, the toys to the right of the sofa and other excess homely items also make it unusable. If it was used, it would be clear that when the image was taken, that the items were mistakenly involved in the picture also. The prop of the doll that is supposed to be the couple’s ‘baby’ is also too exposed, showing that it is clearly a fake baby’s head rather than a real one.
10. Possible DPS image This is a picture that was taken near the start of the photo shoot, hence the humorous nature and unnatural tone it gives off. The older female model’s right hand gesture also suggests that they’re more of friends than a couple. The image is also too zoomed, as I wanted if not the whole, then the majority of the sofa to be on show. But instead this image just shows a small cross-section of the sofa. The young female model also looks too serious as she is not smiling or pulling a natural pose which is what I was going for. The fact she is looking straight at the camera could make the audience realise that it was indeed a photo shoot and not a natural home moment that’s captured. and the male and female models are both smiling and laughing, which is goes against the wanted look of being in love; however, this is understandable considering that they’re in fact siblings!
11. The DPS image Thechosenone This is the image I eventually decided on to use as the image for my double page spread. By this point I had finally remembered to put out some kid’s toys to use as props to put across that ‘hectic family home’ sense to the reader. The various toys are relevant to the story and add another dimension to the picture. Both the model’s facial expression plus their body language are appropriate the double page spread topic. They are all smiling implying that they’re a happy family unit and their proximity is close to demonstrate that they love and care for each other. The ‘baby’ is well-covered to hide the fact that its fake, but is shown just enough for the audience to realise that it is in fact a baby.
