This is a blog about the different types of use in photography and typography. This includes category, typeface, photography, and then will introduce three similar pictures that I took with my phone.

Category Identification

Here you can see that the main picture is all about the airplane. As you can see, there are some words in the upper corner that explain what it is about. The choose bold characters to help it stick out but it also blends in with the picture because it is the same color.

Typeface Contrast

The different sizing and the different color helps with the contrasting. You add contrasting in so that it can help with the variety and it helps catch the eye of the viewer. There is also different fonts used to create that contrast look.

Photography

This form of photography is called cropping. The actual main image and focus in the airplane. You can see that the airplane is in full focus. It is not blurry. The background and the foreground of the photo is blurry. This gets rid of any other noise that is in the photo and allows the main part of the photo to shine.

Alternate images

As you can see, the above photos are similar to the main airplane one. The focus is on the car or glider or airplane while the background noise is blurred out. These kind of pictures are perfect for posting if you want to sell something or make it the main focal point. These photos would still work as a magazine spread-out because there is enough room to add the author and a title.
