Yearbook Sept 22


Working in Your Area of Expertise
If you have any trouble with the following, please bring it to my attention so I can help you.

Directors: Research your area. You need to be the expert on the topic. OR work with the staff of your area.

Photographers: Practice using composition techniques. For each subject, take a shot using Rule of Thirds, Up Close, Framing, and Leading Lines.

Writers & captions: Start considering what in the yearbook may require written content. Start thinking about this content, and what it will contain. Look into clubs and what events may be in the yearbook. (borrowing a school calendar from mr. w may help)

Marketers: Continue marketing goals. Report card pickup is in a couple weeks. Having a few posters and a form for senior and 8th grade ads could be a good idea. Finish yearbook order form as well.

Digital Artists: Keep working on your photoshop skills. As the yearbook is to incorporate styles of older photography, try some tutorials focusing on a vintage look. We'll start with some relatively simple ones and move to more complex ones. Retro Vintage Tutorial - Vintage Tone - Retro Photo - Vintage Looking Image.

ID Staff: A day? Continue working on website. Need a written and drawn out plan before creating the actual website.
B day? There are quite a number of submitted forms of interest regarding the calendar. Prepare a document to follow up on their interest of potential purchase.

Designers: Speak with your instructor, and then begin working on layouts.

Your Daily Post
What did you do today? Was it beneficial as a member of yearbook? Why or why not? Anything else I should know about what you did today in class? These post-class reflections are part of how you will be graded, if you earned a good grade for your work today, fight for it (with a well thought out and polite post). What's next (upcoming events to cover? plans for next class? plans between now and next class?)?

Think you've finished early? Let me know. I'll find something you can work on.
