Yearbook scavenger hunt

YEARBOOK PHOTO SCAVENGER HUNT

When judging the images keep in mind that we are looking for the best Yearbook image. There might be a shot of a shoe that is just plain vs. an image taken from an interesting angle or perspective.

Photo Scavenger Hunt

Rules: Each of these pictures will have a point value assigned to them (all photos are marked out of 3) Creativity is encouraged. Think outside the box. The image should make someone say “that’s a cool shot!”

• The receptionist at the school _____

• A place where students hang out _____

• A brand new pencil _____

• A picture of someone who didn’t know they were being photographed _____

• A messy teacher’s desk _____

Make sure 75% of the shots are portrait and 25% Landscape (turn the camera)

GET NAMES AND GRADES OF THE SUBJECTS (IF YOU DON’T YOU WILL HAVE TO FIND THEM ALL OVER AGAIN-LATER!!!) –label the files with the student names. I will check your folder for the assignment (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ONE!!)

-This is due next week (Friday I will check your folders in the Y drive)

Please DELETE photos off of the camera that you use--after you place them into your folder
You may photoshop the photos but keep originals in case you loose them.

Good afternoon

You will be learning how to create templates, use the Friesens templates and upload images, re-size and save. The cover is almost complete and we are getting excited about the end sheets :)

  If cherishing your school memories is not enough reason to buy a yearbook, how about making a $1,700 profit? That’s how much Justin Bieber’s elementary school yearbook is going for on eBay! Read about ithere on the TorontoSun.com
Today we will:

• Create staff Mailboxes. This is a great way for staff members to communicate with each other and keep materials in a central location.
• Use your ladder and post it on the wall. It really can make things easier in the yearbook world. This helps prevent pages or topics falling through the cracks.
• Create a proof binder that has a print out of all the pages you submit. It is a great way to keep track of what you have done and still need to do. (Mrs.Pye will have and keep the binder. NEW PAGES will be printed in library.
• Create a yearbook finance binder that is separated in 3 parts - business ads,  parent ads, and book sales. This way all of your yearbook money information is in 1 spot. (Mrs.Pye will keep this binder)

Understanding Layout and Design

layout is general term meaning the arrangement of headlines, copy, captions, photographs, and white space that forms a page/spread. Design is the process of creating a layout.
