photo:
The photo in this article was a drawing about high school love. Although the artwork was very well done and relevant, I thought that it did not help readers be drawn into the story and want to read more. The work was centered and did not really have depth.

senior experiences the ride of her life
photo:
 The photo for this article is very large and attention grabbing. The exposure is set well and goes with the natural lighting of the photo. The photographer used leading lines in the fence to draw your eyes to the subject. The depth of field is medium.

running off the beaten path
photo:
The photo for this article was very well shot and made me interested in the story. It had a large depth of field and good exposure. The photo is framed by the equipment and although the background is busy, you only focus on the subject.

1. My favorite photo in the newspaper was the girl riding the horse.
2. This was my favorite because is showed action and was shot from an interesting angle.
3. The photo has framing on the left side and leading lines to the subject.
4.My least favorite photo was the photo of the protestors.
5. I think the photo looked very unoriginal and the subjects were cut of except for their heads.
6. I would have liked to do the article about the horse back rider because it was interesting and different and it was something outside of school.
7. I though this was a really good newspaper in all. I think they did a great job with the layout and making it looked like a finished, professional product. The only weak point was the headlines did not make me that interested in reading the articles, I think they could have been more creative.
