Yearbook blog entry 9/14/2010

It is important to know the students because they can help you with any questions you have about your work. I am a digital artist, I deal with editing pictures and designing themes. My position would probably interact with a photographer, for example if i need a photographer to take a picture a certain way. High school is my primary audience and middle school is my secondary. The main thing it has offered is memories, i think its what you interpret of the yearbook. I am in interact. I am available on afternoons 

Cover Design

Catchphrases for yearbooks.

Academics: “Raise Your Hand”. This one is my favorite because it correlates to the main heading "With These Hands" better than the other phrases.  

Looking at Theme Examples.

1. The 2009 Decamhian yearbook titled "Pursue The Moment", is a really nice yearbook. I would give it a 8 out of 10. I really like how the paint is splattered across the page. The dark colors make it look really good. Most of the pages have a similar look, blue, red, yellow, and green paint splatter in the background.

2. The 2008 Lair yearbook titled "honestly", this yearbook is very unique. Its put together like a scrapbook, it looks like the pictures are taped down and the pictures have torn edges. There are little splotch marks in the background. I would give it a nine out of 10 because the is so much creativity in the design.

Yearbook Theme Questions

1. A dark or grunge type font.
2. The design is grungy
3. The colors are shaded
4. dark grungy elements are repeated
5. Don't leave anything out about the school, Include main details
6. Keep a timeline of the school listing the ups and downs
7. The way you take and design the pictures, maybe take pictures of people holding cameras. Make T-shirts to buy

Ethics

There is a line with freedom of speech, you humiliate someone verbally to where they kill themselves and get away with it by saying it was using freedom of speech. There is no reason to say those things to someone.

June 1st 2010 at the Mayde Creek FFA Marisa Bustamonte and her pig cute  Hamlet pose for a picture by yelling. It shows how people can treat animals like their friends. Hamlet doesn't look too comfortable but thats because he is being held. There is also a creeper in the background just staring at them.
