Josh has created backgrounds for the page templates and has some suggestions about syncronizing all of the pages so that they are the same (includes moving photos)

The pages that should be ALMOST complete are:  just final edits when we get back from Christmas

-All grade intro pages: that is 3 two page spreads
-Grade 8
-Grade 9
-Grade 10
- Staff (Random staff)--have these templates even been made yet? what about placing the images?
did you decied about staff on the right side of page?
-Whole school random--TAKE LOTS OF PHOTOS get a cool quote
-Cheerleading football--did you call Wallaces? Get a quote from head chearleader and captain of football plus football stats...photos from Brandon P grandpa.
Track and Field//cross country--whichever one is complete

THIS INCLUDES ALL OF THE RANDOM PHOTOS....uh oh that means you had better have taken lots of photos..remmeber the assignments--the walk about and the random shots. PLEASE!!!! Remember ALL RANDOM PHOTOS NEED TO BE OF STUDENTS IN THE CORRECT GRADES.

I will be checking on your walk about photos today.

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.

Candid Walkabout

Directions:  For this assignment you should shoot 12 good examples of a candid photograph of a person in action or a small group of people in action.  The photos must use proper composition technique, be well lit, with the proper color balance and be in focus or they do not count.
