The Big Mistakes I Found

• When you are writing names, you write, "(grade) Michael Roberts" the first time, and, "Roberts" every other time.
• Numbers under 100 are spelled out (forty-nine, first place, fifteen feet).
• Don't write anything in the caption that was in the article.
• Freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior are not capitalized.

More things to check:

• 80-81: Capitalization rules on districts and state, etc.
• 90-91: Chelsea Murphy’s grade
• Dane Dixon’s grade

Need to make videos

ASAP

We need a girls basketball video made for the basketball banquet. Best if we have interviews with seniors and maybe Hansen. We can sell them at the banquet.

We need a season video for a State Champs assembly and banquet.

Both videos can be used for the Video Yearbook.

Here's how to do the titling/ subtheme

Title fill: lighter color
Title stroke: darker color
Subtheme fill: same as the title stroke
Subtheme stroke: white
Add an outer bevel and emboss to both by selecting the text box and going to object > effects > bevel and emboss. Make sure to select "outer" in the style tab.
You can choose your own colors, just make sure they match your layout without blending in to the background.

Sports Layouts

Anyone with a sports layout, I'm making some changes so that it's not exactly like the layout from two years ago. Nothing major, it's just important to have all the details right, and I would really like to not have to make all these changes myself. So please make all of these changes. If you have any questions, ask me.

"Shows off", never again!

In the first three spreads of the yearbook the words "shows off" have been used six times in captions. Those words are now officially stricken from use in any yearbook that I have the displeasure to edit.

Photo captions

Try not to use phrases like poses for the camera, shows off his/her (pearly whites, muscles, smile). They are unimaginative. Tell the reader information that is not readily apparent from looking at the picture. That means you have to find out if you don't know. This is getting harder and harder in recent years with the advent of selfies, snapchat, facebook and imaging gone wild. However, we as photographers with a very good telephoto lense can capture candid pictures. Try to use candids whenever possible and stay away when you can from posed pictures.

Background dimensions

On the layouts with backgrounds the frame size must be the following:

W 15.6944 in.
H 10.8626 in.

The location of the top left corner is as follows:

X -7.8475
Y -0.1802

This is so that the image goes all the way to the edge of the bleed line. If when you Place your image in the frame it does not fill it to the edges come see me immediately to resolve the problem.

Work on the Senior Layouts

What I did:

Put an opaque box behind all of the text

Set numbers to white

Set backgrounds for each background

Fix text in best/most boxes

What needs to be done:

Edit layouts to fit in box

Color 'Seniors' and 'Saturn'

Quotes from Boyd, Sylena, Boyd (again), Ellessa, Tessa

Cat best/most picture

Picture of Emily Cheroske

Space by Jorge-planet?

I'm sure even more needs to happen, every time I open up the layouts I find something else.

Mr. Robert's Day OFFFFFFFFF!:)

February 6th the boys basketball team will be competing against the yucky Columbia Falls at home. Just a heads up Mr. Roberts WILL NOT be helping produce the video for after the game. He will be sitting in the crowd  enjoying blue gatorade, popcorn, and candy observing his first home game without any interruption. We have till then to perfect making a video by ourselves.
-GO YEARBOOK!

Opening Layout Sub Themes

K-12: White Dwarves

Spirit Week: Blue Moon

Homecoming: Supernova

Class Officers: Gas Planets

Winter Formal: Cold Space

Senior: Saturn

First 40 pages=Christmas

Cover, Endsheets, Introduction, Opening and Senior Layouts are all due December 19th. That is 23 school days from now.

Senior layouts require a profile interview and 4 pictures, two Best/Most pictures of four people and quotes, and all the senior pictures. This is not an easy task especially if you have two senior layouts.

My fear is not much is getting done. It definitely requires making arrangement and collecting pictures outside of class.

Also some seniors are involved as well in making movies. Volleyball, soccer and football need to be done before Christmas also. Interviews require arrangement and most of these sports have banquests that we can make money at with DVD sales if a movie is ready.
