Yearbook Nov 11th

Class today:

Follow whats on the blog. Keep your substitute happy. Your work for today will be counted as a quiz grade. I am asking him to leave notes regarding the classes. Less-than-positive comments will result in a detention. Show the substitute how well you can work. In addition, if he decides you can't spend the class time working diligently on whats on the blog, I do have a packet you can read and write an essay on. This warning is on the blog and you were told last class, there's no excuse for not knowing.

Do what is on today's blog first! You can work on stuff from the previous class next time. Spend all your time doing the best you can on today's work, nothing else will count for the quiz grade. Post whatever you finish, even if you're not done. Work on your page? Screenshot it, crop it to just the page itself, and blur any last names/school names/locations to stay safe online and save it as a jpg so you can post it on your blog. Telling me you have an amazing piece of work without showing me isn't worth anything.


Three main things to continue working on today:

  1. Tri-fold (folding into three segments) 30 'greensheets' ads. Conveniently, the icons start a third of the way down the page. Start with the icon side up, fold the bottom of the page to almost conceal all four rows of icons. Then just fold the top flap down. This has priority over the other two. It must be finished TODAY!
  2. Sales
  3. Yearbook Page #2

Yearbook Sales
  • Ted Presentation The Post Crisis Consumer Even if your selling to other students, some of the general trends of our current economy have likely trickled down to them through their parents. Their are some worthwhile things to keep in mind when trying to sell to them.
  • Ted-Short How to Start a Movement How can you turn yearbook sells into an actual movement? Up til that point, our yearbook won't be truly successful until it reaches that saturation point. Once there, then we can really make some amazing stuff. But how do we get it there? Make every sell count, buying one yourself? Fill out the order form where other people can see you. The more they see people buying them, the more momentum we will build.
  • Google is your friend; searching Bing, Google, or your search engine of choice on how to be a good salesman will provide you with some useful information as well.
  • It might be a good idea to stay organized with who you've talked to and who MIGHT be buying a yearbook with your name credited to it. Might? Yes, might. Only payments received before thanksgiving count. If you get exactly five people to say they will, but only three actually do, things won't look too great for you.
  • Tell me about what you did. I can only grade what you show me on the blog, so show me that you really got something out of class today. Impress me.

Your Second Yearbook Page:

Due before Thanksgiving. If you're going to be absent the week of thanksgiving, finish early or finish at home. You can access studioworks wherever you have the internet. Stay on top of things and get your page as complete as possible.

Show me whatever you got done, even if it isn't complete. Screenshot it, open it in photoshop, and crop and blur appropriately to protect yourself.
