Darker Skin
Matt Mahurin, the illustrator at Time Magazine who manipulated the police photo of O. J., at his word, he said that he "wanted to make it more artful, more compelling" (Meltzer). The magazine covers was designed by Newsweek and Times however as people walk and stop to look at the covers both appeared to look particular different and typical odd side by side on the same rack. A mugshot is considered a clear photo to identify the suspect.
However millions of critics criticize Time Magazine for darken the image of OJ Simpson’s face on his mug shot therefore giving people a deceiving view and perspective of being darker. Darker skin is seen as an evil and dangerous man. Stanleigh S. Ryerson , Ryerson University School of Journalism , wrote The African-American community expressed outrage. (Ryerson). His features are unannounced from the darkening and the background around him is centering him inside a black like square or frame inside of a jail cell. His eyes are present and stare through the darkness overlay on top of his face.
On Newsweek cover his mugshot had no color alternations made and show him as a person or man. He is outlined and he stands in front of you and is staring one and one eye contact along with the smudge on his blank face. We are unsure if he was still guilty or not guilty. Douglass W. Cromey wrote and stated “To underscore the power of the images, few people complained about Newsweek’s bold headline “Trail of Blood,” while Time’s less prejudicial …show more content…
headline “An American Tragedy” was ignored.” (Cromey). Newsweek headline “Trail of Blood was more favorable to the public and readers simply because it states only blood from victims left a trail that led to our suspicion of OJ Simpson allowing us to second judge about this once amazing man. The font style is very wide and large to describe how much blood was lost and him being accused. It also is being honest in containing the news inside of the magazine meaning nothing is left to hide. Times headline “An American Tragedy” was considered as the least favorable because America has been and suffered through enough tragedy already but to put pressure on an individual for one crime is cruel. The font style is very narrow and tight showing it is a very tight and dangerous man therefore caution is important when around him.
Today with the help of Photoshop photo editing has become more and more popular now through manipulation and affects journalism and ethics in order to represent the accurate image our change of wording as well photo editing usage is to manipulate the message and purpose. Whether being a photographer, journalist, or photojournalist we should all be caution with the way our work is presented to the public. Our interception can make sense to us but may not for other.
