Yearbook : Electives

Yearbook: Creativity

Personal Goal: Improve my GFX skilles and learn about publishing.

Yearbook is an elective which is done on every other wednesday. In this elective, we work on the school yearbook which will printed out in the end of the school year. We design pages using Adobe Photoshop CS and then using Elements or another software, we resize it so it fits in with the page dimensions and work on its quality. People in yearbook are divided into catergories and are supposed to work on thos categories till the pages are finished. Once completed, helping other people out with their stuff is essential as well. 

As already mentioned on my blog that i admin my own GFX site meaning that i have some experience in this. This is my 2nd year that i am doing Yearbook and i have realized that it has given me a lot of chance to show my creativity in school and work on different aspects of designing.  Not to mention, it has also  given me an exposure to 'how to publish yearbooks'. Thinking about formality within our work  is pretty important.  

This year, i am incharge of School Events/Opening Pages and working on Dividers as well. Hoping to get the Dividers finished as soon as possible is probably the best planning for now. Due to the problems with the electives as they take place alternatively which isnt really good for us. meaning that we will have to find extra time and come to school on saturdays/sundays or after school.
