My first possible product is a photo essay from TIME magazine that deals with what foods families from around the world eat. One thing that I believe contributes to the overall success of this piece is that in each picture they show a lot, if not all the foods that the family eats in any given week. Also, the way that it is arranged in the picture is appealing. Another thing is the caption of each photo. Under each photo there is a description of the average amount each respective family spends on food weekly. This photo essay also gives you a view on how much people need to survive, and how gluttonous the world can be. I saw a family from a camp in Chad that spends $1.23 weekly on food for a healthy family of 6.
My second possible product is another photo essay from Mother Jones.com about the women in Afghanistan. This essay presents photos that show the lives of many different women from Afghanistan and tell bits and pieces of their stories. Most of the pictures, if left by themselves, would seem boring and look like pictures of random women in Afghanistan, but with the captions they are something more. The quality of the pictures, also, are very high which I like because you can see detail and clarity in them.
Both of my products are photo essays and/or websites where the content would be a photo essay much like the two listed above. I know that I will find these helpful with my work because I can see the kind of photos necessary for a piece that has to do with presenting information to the generally unknowing audience.
