Yearbook Today!

First: Blog Edit
Go into the Design tab of your blog and add a new gadget toy our blog. Any gadget? No! If you look on the left side of my blog and scroll down you'll notice the new gadget of recent comments. Add this same gadget to yours. It will make it easier for you to see the most recent comments on your blog. How do you add the most recent comments? When you're adding the gadget, at the top of the new gadget window, search 'recent comments'.

1- YB Pages
If you don't have your pages yet, come see me. If you haven't made a studio works account yet, you may also see me at this time.

You are responsible for two pages. In a way, you are the contractor for them. You have to make sure the layout for it gets done, suitable pictures are taken, the pictures are edited accordingly, the captions and writing match the content and are of good quality. The overall page quality is your responsibility. Examples of Theme Integration.

Each page will count as a project grade. One for this six weeks, the second page for next six weeks. Look here for your initials in bold.

You do not choose a random page and start playing, you should be on the page that the ladder shows. If the ladder says page 45, you should be on page 45. Also, sometimes two pages (a spread) opens at once, if you only have page 45, you do not also play on 44.

Start thinking about how you will get everything together. Which designer will prep the layout? Where will the photos need to come from? Which digital artist will touch them up? Who will write write the captions and content? Keep in mind the theme of photography through time. Toward the front of the book will have a more dated feel, toward the back will be more modern (more information on that later). Plan now and be ahead.

Are your initials not there? :O
Then we couldn't find your page preferences :(
Go talk to your instructor!

2- Individual Areas

Photographers and Digital Artists
Before you begin anything else, we need to have a pow-wow.

Down time? Here are a few more tutorials:

Designers
Learn the Studio Works Software. First things first, we have to make you an account. Come see me an we'll set it up. Click here to go to Studio Works once you have an account. Start playing with the two pages you have, learn how to insert text, images, and etc into the page. By the bookcases we have some resources to help you. Utilize those, and if your still having trouble, let me know.

Marketers
Continue marketing goals.

ID Staff
A day- Continue working on the website.
B day- Come see me and we'll get your s>works accounts created.

Writers and Caption Writers
See me and we can setup your Studio Works accounts. Start thinking about your pages and what you need to do for them. Start thinking about who is going to design the page, whos going to edit your photos, what writing will be on them, etc. If you have writing you can work on, you can do that when you finish.

3- Daily Blog Reflection
