Yearbook (Period 6)

Yearbook is a student led, student run class producing each year a book of excellence that records in pictures, words, and design our middle school and high school year.  Each staff member is expected to be a team player, willing to work hard to produce the best book possible.  Together we will explore photography, page layout, graphic design, the use of color, copy editing, various writing techniques, budget management, sales, and a number of other skills essential to anyone moving on to college or to any career involving writing, editing, graphic design, or publishing. 

Yearbook is a class that develops leadership, as well as effective teamwork.  We will use Yearbook Avenue as our online website and vehicle for designing and producing our yearbook pages.  We will consider the use of font, font size, color, line, modules, as well as caption and headline writing, coverage, and theme development.  As Samuel Johnson said, “What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.”
