Photo Tips for the Newbies All photos taken by Joy Singleton at Limestone College 1. Lighting (Contrast)  When taking photos, look for spots that have contrast in lighting so that your photo has a good amount of highlights and shadows to work with. Try not to have too bright of highlights though, because your camera will lose information in bright spots. You can always recover from shadows.  2. Balance Make sure your photo has some kind of balance, weather it be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Having balance makes your photo feel more meaningful in composition. This photo has symmetrical balance.  3. Line      Having lines help to lead the eye through photo.

Amazon Brand Guidelines

-
In Amazons brand guidelines, they have a lot o ways of how they like things done. They do not want their links to have any promotions included, only "Shop at Amazon". They also said never say "Shop on Amazon".  When providing special offers, it should never say things like "Win a free...", only "Enter to win... restrictions apply" so there is no confusion and shows it is not guaranteed.  When using the logo, they have many restrictions such as the exact orange and black color to use. Do not ever use other colors unless it is on a dark background, otherwise, use white instead of black.  They also do not want advertisers to use their sites buttons such as the cart or the subscribe and save unless approved.  https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/AdvertisingSite/pdfs/AmazonBrandUsageGuidelines.pdf

In 2002 Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers released the song above, and its called " The Last DJ ". It talks about how the corruption of the music industry. He talks about how the freedom of choice and individuality is lost. That being because artist, or DJ's, must now play and sing about songs that the industry chooses for them. No one gets to create music how they want to anymore. I do agree with the message as I feel like popular music now is all the same, and it not as meaningful as music such as classic rock. The video is ironic since it shows them in the studio performing the song.  Well you can't turn him into a company man You can't turn him into a whore And the boys upstairs just don't understand anymore Well the top brass don't like him talking so much And he won't play what they say to play And he don't want to change what don't need to change And there goes the last DJ Who plays what he wants to play And says wh
