Yearbook Sept 16

First: Full group discussion
We'll have a discussion regarding the direction of the class from here on out.

Second: Split into specialties
If you have any trouble with this, please bring it to my attention so I can help you.

Photographers: start learning about photography through magazines or internet. Tell me about what you learned, summarize the concept or the information you read. Was it good information, and will it be useful?

Writers & captions: look into what writing content there is in yearbooks. Use online sources or physical sources. Discuss. Reflect on what you did in your blog.

Marketers: Discuss marketing goals, possible strategies, Watch Seth Godin, discuss. Reflect in your blogs.

Digital Artists: Start learning photoshop. Check out and use the official adobe website, magazines on the shelves, adobe tv, and Lynda.com's video tutorials. There are also plenty of resources out theres, such as Design Review's learn photoshop in 24 hours, About.com's Photoshop Basics, and Photoshop Essentials just to name a few. Post your work in phtoshop as you progress through different tutorials and other learning tools (even if not-yet-finished) at the end of class in the reflection. Where did you find the information/tutorial? How did it go, was it successful? How was going through it beneficial for you in this class?

ID Staff: Come see instructor, watch Seth Godin, discuss team possibilities, check out appropriate applications for discussed tasks. In your blog, reflect and discuss what you did for the day.

Designers: Look at layout designs in physical or e-sources. Discuss some of the really good ones, what makes them good? Talk about it in your blog.

Third: Video
Done with everything already and have nothing else to do? Really? Are you sure? I don't believe you... well, if thats really true... watch this video:

Forth: Post on blog.
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?)?
