Double block

Good morning, some of you have taken initiative and have borrowed cameras during lunch hour and break to take your candid photos. You will not find many during our yearbook block so be warned! you MUST find time for this assignment outside of regular class time.

Interesting photos can be found when students are hanging out at lunch, biking or boarding (however: today is a 'snow day' so you may have to be creative!

We are going to talk layout today and come up with a working template for each grade. Angela and Nicola have created one for each grade so now lets come up with something that will look like an article/ad to match our theme.

40 creative layouts

Please create a blog on blogger.com and post a layout in the style that you are interested in for displaying your pages. Remember, either in an 'article' layout style or an AD layout style.
