Mick Rock is a British photographer born in 1948 known for iconic photos of rock and roll celebrities in the 1970s. His photos of David Bowie were often taken during photo shoots and concerts, and reflected the era in black and white or with effects giving Bowie an angelic glow. Rock composed his photos with the subject centered and usually looking at the camera unless performing. He aimed to reflect the artist's music through techniques like making the Ramones look rebellious on their album cover. Rock's strength was capturing the essence of each artist through photo composition, though some were considered plain for their lack of difference from others.
Star image essay
- David Bowie's career and image were constantly evolving to match trends in popular culture from the 1970s onward.
- His star image was most developed and iconic during his glam rock phase as "Ziggy Stardust" in the 1970s, featuring flamboyant costumes and makeup.
- Later in his career, Bowie abandoned the glam rock style and starman persona to present himself more seriously as an artist, dropping visual motifs and unusual costumes.
- While Bowie was innovative in matching trends, he lost some of his unique identity over time by imitating other artists' styles rather than finding his own niche.

Questionnaire results
The author conducted a survey asking people to choose between 4 magazine covers they liked to determine which design was most appealing. The results showed that 8 people chose the first cover, 12 chose the second, 4 chose the third, and 6 chose the fourth. For a second question, most respondents (28) preferred a cover with one main image and more text than designs with lots of text.
Screen ratios, frame rate, video forats, compression
The document discusses various aspects of aspect ratios including how they describe the proportional relationship between an image's width and height. Common aspect ratios for still cameras are 4:3, 3:2, and 16:9 while 16:9 is most common for consumer cameras. When converting between formats with unequal ratios, the image is enlarged to fill the target display and parts that don't fit are cropped out.
Editing portrait
The document summarizes the editing process the author took to prepare an image for use as a magazine cover. They cropped the image to remove extra background, increased the brightness and contrast to make it stand out to their teenage audience. They used auto contrast to lighten it but this gave it a yellow tone, so they used hue/saturation to remove the excess yellow. Finally, they adjusted the curves to further refine the brightness levels, producing the final cover image.
Evaluation
The student created a magazine for a school project. They conducted research by analyzing existing magazines, distributing a questionnaire, and editing photos for their magazine. Their influences were Kerrang and NME magazines. They designed a logo and edited photos to have a consistent bright style. Feedback was positive overall but suggested improving images and clarifying the target audience. The student felt they best executed their research presentations and double page spread, though time management was a weakness.
Glossary resolution
This document discusses image resolution and the factors that determine resolution. It explains that resolution is measured in pixels per inch (PPI) and describes the resolution of common cameras and images. Higher resolution images have more pixels and can capture more detail. The standard resolutions for print and screen display are listed. Image quality also depends on sensor size, as larger pixels can capture light more accurately.
Glossary pixels
Pixels are the smallest addressable elements that make up digital images. They are arranged in a grid on imaging sensors and display screens. Each pixel can only represent one color at a time, but together they blend to create the illusion of a full color image. Color depth refers to the number of bits used per pixel to represent color, with more bits allowing for more possible colors. Common color depths include 1 bit (2 colors), 8 bits (256 colors), and 24 bits (over 16 million colors). Digital camera sensors use a grid of light-sensitive pixels that convert photons to electrons through the photoelectric effect. The captured data is then converted to digital information representing the color values of each pixel.
Photos and editing effects
The document discusses editing photographs for a magazine. The author cropped backgrounds from photos, adjusted brightness, contrast and added color tints in Photoshop. Images featured in the magazine will have a dark or blue style. One photo was duplicated to show a mirror image. Effects were added to photos to fit the magazine's theme and standards.
