YEARBOOK FINAL PROJECT: SAMPLE PAGES for the 2014 theme.

BACKGROUND:

We just completed creating a copy of a fashion page from an award winning page layout. Now, we need to make that page fit our THEME for this year's yearbook- PORTRAITS. As a quick project, please REWORK your model practice page that we have just completed and make it fit into tall of the elements listed below.

PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT a "busy work" assignment. We genuinely need EVERY STAFF member to understand all of the elements of the pages we create. Please do your very best to create an exciting and creative Fashion page given the rules listed!

TO START: Consider the content of the page that you have already created. Then, review the RULES of the theme, then recreate your page to follow all of those rules.

THEME REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR PAGE:
  • A HEADLINE for your page using the EDDIE font at 48 points and the RENATTA HAND DRAWN FONT at 54 point (this font is smaller than Eddie). You will need to place all of your headline words in separate boxes to get them close together. Your headline should be either in body color TR GOLD (from the Traditional color pallette) with a black stroke or Black with a TR Gold stroke. Your headline should look something like below:

  • A focal PORTRAIT photograph on your page. This should take up about 10-20 percent of your page and have a caption of at least 3-4 sentences.
  • A PAGE NUMBER in Helvetica Bold 10 pt font, color TR GOLD, rotated up to the left on left hand pages and up to the right on right hand pages, with a underlining TR GOLD 2 pt line underneath. PLEASE USE 3 DIGIT PAGE NUMBER FORMAT! There will also be a SMALL PORTRAIT folio in the lower left/lower right of your page. (see right).
  • TEXT: Helvetica BOLD 20 point for subheads, Helvetica Regular 12 point for body text and Helvetica Italic for captions (see above).
  • Pages should have a large BLACK section and a smaller WHITE section. These should involve a curve of some sort, but use your imagination. Any layout that looks good would be fine. DO NOT HAVE ANY PAGE ELEMENTS (TEXT, PHOTOS, CAPTIONS, ETC.) GO OVER A BLACK/WHITE BORDER! See below:

  • NAMES will ALWAYS be in the BOLD version of the text font (either regular for body text or italics for captions) and will be in the color TR GOLD, this will be the case on both black and white backgrounds! The first time a name is listed on a page it will ALWAYS be in the format Firstname Lastname- Year. See pictures below:

  • MAYBE: Connecting BLACK DOTS for photographs. Dots should be about 20 percent of height of photograph. See picture below.

  • Include all FILLER TEXT (use loripsem.com for fillers) in the story and captions.

DUE DATE:

This assignment will be due on FRIDAY.
