STORY:
Kim Sebek, owner of a 2016 Toyota Four Runner, has many depthening elements in her car. Kim’s car is very clean, has seat covers for her fabricated seats, a crystal ball hanging from rearview mirror, an air freshener, a hitch on the back of the car, a leopard blanket in the backseat and is very well kept.
Kim is very true, stellar and fun just like her car! Her car has some of the main components of her life, it is shiny and grey, and it has fun features like a good speaker system and charging ports.
One of the key components to Sebek’s car is her leopard blanket. “I have a leopard blanket in my car because I coach for the Lady Leopards basketball team. Our mascot is a leopard so I got a leopard blanket for when it’s cold,” she explained. Kim has always been a huge fan of sports, and is a junior college basketball coach today. Although she loves being on the court, primarily she wanted to have a different occupation. “At first I wanted to be a journalist and write and commentate about sports,’ Kim explained.
Sebek was born in San Marcos, Texas in 1968. Ever since she was a child, she has loved sports. Kim described her childhood as “I played many sports as a child but then decided that I liked basketball the most. As a teenager, I won the pepsi hot shot basketball competition. I played basketball at San Marcos High School and then transferred to Westlake High School. I then played at Tyler Junior college but then transferred to Alabama at Birmingham.” After she became an elite athlete, she decided to become a health educator and basketball coach. “I first started coaching at Chapel Hill high school and then moved to Temple Junior college as I got more coaching experience,” Kim said.
Although sports has a big impact on Sebek’s life, so is going to her retreat in the Gulf of Mexico. Infact, she has a hitch on the back of her car so she can transport her boat to the coast. “I constantly use the hitch on my car to haul a boat to the coast for fishing,” Sebek explained, “I fish in the Gulf of Mexico. My bay house is located in Palacios, Texas.”
While Sebek can’t always see the beautiful bay sunsets in Palacios, she can see beautiful colors in her crystal prism hanging below her rearview mirror. “I have a crystal hanging below the rearview mirror because I like to see the prisms and rainbow colors it forms in the sunlight. It specifically reminds me of my mom who passed away,” Kim informed.
Sebek has many intricate features in  her car that tell her story. Not only does Sebek’s car help tell her story, but helps her live it(by transporting her to her favorite places)!

Magazines Part 2

Image Based Magazine Covers: Image Based magazine covers usually have one to three people in the photo, all smiling and looking at the camera. Although that is the normal way to shoot an image based photo, some photographers use a different approach and shoot the person uniquely. For example, maybe the subject(s) are looking away from the camera or at each other. Maybe the subject(s) are frowning or smirking instead of smiling. These variations of an image based cover often hook many viewers as well because they are unique and diverse: what many people like also! Illustration Based Covers: Illustration based covers are used to present something unique, different or amusing. This type of magazine cover is usually used by independently published magazine brands that aren't correlated to other popular newsstand paper and magazine brands. These are usually very well thought out and they create a very meaningful drawing for readers to examine and think about. Illustrat

Critiquing Another Photographer's Academic Shoot

-
https://laurasphoto1.blogspot.com/2018/09/academic-shoot.html I chose to look at Laura's photos! Positive Feedback: 1. I like how Laura captures her rule of thirds picture. The boy has a slight smile on his face and the background includes good contrasting colors. 2. I like how in Laura's photo with the rule of lines the ceiling's lines lead to the girl working on her assignment. The lines on the locker also lead to the subject's paper! Improvements: 1. I think in her avoiding merger picture she could avoid having a merger by capturing the photo at a different angle. Instead of straight on, the camera could be looking down or up at the boy working on a paper.

My Favorite Cover

Favorite: Best Cover Winner GQ "The World's 50 Greatest Living Athletes," November 2017 Fred Woodward, Designer Pari Dukovic, Photographer "When the World's Greatest Living Athlete is also an off-the-court phenom in business, in movies, and increasingly in politics, the time allotted for a photo shoot is limited (it was 45-minutes from the frame to the last). But photographer Pari Dukovic nevertheless captured LeBron James in a timeless, almost deified image that shows the strength, fierceness, and regal nature of GQ’s November cover subject. One worthy of blowing up and framing like a piece of art (which we did)." This portrait of Lebron James is a formal portrait. It is my favorite because the picture presents Lebron as the “King” of basketball. Not only is Lebron wearing a golden leaf crown, but his face is shining because of the golden light which makes him seem like a “heavenly king”. This communicates Lebron James as a ve
