Yearbook November 8th

This upcoming six weeks will be mostly time to work on larger scale assignments.

Today:
  • Type up your letter, have two other students read over it and provide feedback on how to improve it. Once complete, send me a new copy and I'll look over it for any final changes.
  • Check your blog for anything unsafe. This includes any photos of you, or your full name, school, location, or any other personal information anywhere on your blog. If you didn't remove the old screenshot from the quiz when you uploaded the new one, then your blog isn't safe :(
  • Start getting stuff ready for your second page. Start working with other students regarding what will go on it.


Due by Thanksgiving:
  1. Sales assignment complete; Five yearbook sales per person. How do you get credit for a sale? a completed yearbook order form delivered with check/cash that has your name on the blank 'Yearbook Representative ___________', found at the bottom of the sheet. Need extra credit? Sell an advertisement. It might be beneficial for you to create a 'potential sales' document to stay organized. I use the word potential intentionally, until payment and order form are submitted it doesn't count.
  2. Second Yearbook Page as complete as possible; photos, written content, captions, etc.


Things that might aid you:
  • Basic Photoshop - There are some basic touch ups you can learn in photoshop that will allow the digital artists to get photos back to you faster. Learn some of the basics so you can prep some of the files before they go to a digital artist.
If you need photos for student life and are trying for shots before school, get them sooner rather than later. With daylight savings time this past weekend, it is now lighter an hour earlier than before, and as winter continues the days will continue to shorten. It won't be this light in the mornings until spring, and by that point it'll be too late.
