Thing #9


This assignment was a fun way to brag about my daughter.  My beautiful fifteen-year-old daughter has taken up Motocross racing.  The contrast is unfathomable and this application allowed me to capture those feelings.  I chose to place her photograph on a Seventeen magazine cover.  She has sent this to all her friends to announce this new phase in her life.

Since I am a new at using Flickr, I had to have help placing the photograph on the magazine cover.  Unfortunately, when I attempted to position the picture it misaligned the magazine title, so I was not able to drop the picture below the print.  It also would have been more fun if I had control of the text so I could title the lead story “Teen Model Takes Up Extreme Sports.”

You can find this application on http://www.fakemagazinecover.com, which provides access to Flickr.  Parents would enjoy seeing their children’s class on the cover of their own magazine.  Each student would be responsible for publishing an article about class events and include photographs.  Their families would treasure printed copies.
