YEARBOOK THEME/DESIGN ASSIGNMENT, #2

BACKGROUND:

We have been discussing our theme for next year's yearbook over the last day or so. It is time to start putting together some templates for this.

PUTTING YOUR PAGE TOGETHER: You have until MAY 9, 2023, please have all of the following ELEMENTS completed as PRACTICE PAGES in YearbookAvenue.com.

OUR IDEAS SO FAR (CLICK ON THE THUMBNAIL TO ENLARGE!):

We are putting together a yearbook next year based on "CHAPTERS" of High School, starting with Freshman, then moving on to Sophomore, Junior and Senior. For this assignment, you will be creating a DOUBLE ACADEMIC PAGE layout regarding YOUR CLASS. You should include the following:

  1. Clean layout.
  2. White Space.
  3. Photos and stories regarding CLASSES THAT YOUR CLASS REGULARLY TAKES. Put a BORDER around your photos. Use photos from this year that would fit on your page.
  4. A stripe across the top of the page with page number, book section and book page, as well as you name. In addition, please include a series of small photos across the top with captions/quotes.
  5. A stripe across the bottom of the page with quote and photographs regarding the topic of the page.
  6. A large photograph with an extended caption ON TOP OF THE PHOTOGRAPH. You can do this with a semi-opaque box underneath, contrasting color text, whatever you think works best.
  7. Include photo captions in a way that you think works best.
  8. Create a TWO FONT TEXT TITLE for the page. This should include a skinny font and a heavy font in combination. Please use the FONT book to find the fonts you want to use. Ask Mr. B. to put install the fonts that you like.
  9. Colors, however you think they should be applied to the page.
  10. A MASK. For this part of the page, please use the YEARBOOK AVENUE MASK TOOL. We need to see if this works or if we need to purchase Photoshop for the class.
  11. QUICK READS: Please include a graph, chart, survey, etc. that fits in with your page. You can make this up. PLEASE NOTE: There are INFOGRAPHICS in the CLICK AND GO SECTION of the DESIGN SECTION of the left menu system.
  12. Please include a student QUOTE on your page in a creative way.

RESOURCES: I would recommend looking in LOOK BOOKS for ideas for ways to present titles on your pages.

GRADING: All students must complete this assignment, whether you will be here for Yearbook next year or not. THIS NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED IN A PROFESSIONAL AND THOROUGH MANNER. WE DID NOT DO WELL WITH THE NEXT YEAR'S THEME PROJECT, THIS WILL MAKE UP FOR IT. IF YOU DO NOT CREATE A FACTORY READY PAGE FOR THIS PROJECT, YOU WILL RECEIVE A VERY POOR SCORE.

The final products will be graded as follows:

  • All pages included all required elements and layouts:= 50 points.
  • Page looks polished and professional=: 50 points
