okay so I think its the 16th? I finished my page kind of today. Turned in the sheet, so im good to go.

we had a sub. the 9th grade pictures wont work as well as studioworks. ill work on it this weekend hopefully

its wednesdayyyy

Another day of doing nothing. I can't do anything because of the mugshots. I need themmmmmm!
But we can't get them right now, seriously. That's all I need, and then I can start with the faculty page!!

dont know todays date too lazy to work also its monday

Okay so I am extremely stressed today, you can blame Government. So I didn't get much work done. This week is when my young life page will be DEFINITELY done I just need the kid's photo's. Almost there! I don't feel like doing anything much today, I did fix the pictures. They still look a little small (if I make it bigger though, it will mess everything up?) The captions are kind of in the way though. I just wanna finish this final up..

todays thursday but i don't know the date :)

I am doing the Young Life page for my final. I added the pictures, FINALLY. All I need is the student pictures. YAYYYYYY the stress is over!!!!

i dont know what today's date is

So i looked at the photo examples and they were okay. Some of the national geographic ones I was like what? how is that photography? but some of it was good. I liked the last one with the altered images. :) today I plan to finish the young life page, maybe.

forrrr 11/19/10

also I was absent Friday just so you know. So I did nothing that day except look at colleges. Yep.

this is my to do list for thanksgiving vacation!!

work on slides, get them on the page and finish the page! Tried to sell yearbooks but people are saying that they are too expensive.

not much

I'll be absent friday. I think i'll have my page as best I can. Were looking at the slides and editing them right now. :)

todays blog post

So I still don't know exactly what to do because of lack of communication. I checked on my pages and researched certain effects. I don't think I can get this done by Tuesday. Also, I helped Brittany pick out sepia tones for her photos. So I didn't do much on my pages today, also they are locked.

Today I researched what slides were.

I am going to apply them to this page as soon as I figure everything out. for now it looks like this:

make up friday blog post,

Okay I missed friday so here we go..

I have done okay with this six weeks. Now I know to work harder so that I don't have a week to do my page. But it turned out pretty good.

Here is todays blog post:

I still need to finish my page all the way, but certain people still don't have my stuff ready!

Today I got captions written for my page, I should be done by friday hopefully. Brittany is still working on the pictures, not sure if those will be done. But that's okay. Everything but the pictures is okay. (:

daily post

Today I actually did work again. I added some color to my page so it looks more catchy to the eye. And I got Brittany to edit my photos, we chose some awesome effects. I'm feeling good about this page cause it actually looks kind of retro. Also I finally got the pictures from the camera.

edited cropped image

oct 27

Today I actually did work. I mean, it was work that actually contributed to my yearbook page. I got the basic layout and it looks pretty good! Last class I forgot to mention that I did write the Young life thing so I didn't just slack off today and it got edited today! So everything is good and I know what to do :)

oct 26 i thinkkk

Okay I am still not positive on what to do in fact I'm actually still confused on what I need to do all i know is that i have the faculty/staff page which im going to do later and im doing the young life now. i'm pressed for time It's really hard to get everything done when i can't do anything.

Probably the world changed applies to me I don't really know how but i feel like it does. I am a part of young life so there's no issues there.

screenshot

page 6 is locked so you gave me permission to do the screenshot next time

stuff

I was at family day (and the dog show). I only have pictures taken of my dog in the dog show (one with me and her, trophies and medals etc.), it looks pretty good if you need it.

Still brainstorming what to do, not sure about young life. I still have to take pictures and interview Matt who is in charge. I'm not sure about the faculty I believe I am not in charge of design, or really putting it together I'm actually not sure at all what I'm supposed to do. But I'll find out soon haha. I have an idea of it :).

oct 14

I'm thinking about young life, it will definitely be newer than the faculty/staff because it is closer up to the beginning. For faculty/staff I think this type of photography would be good.

Its page 6 so.. something like..
with color? because don't we want to see the teacher's faces? if not then, we can do negative images like this

this is what the first kodak camera looked like:

http://www.pindelski.org/Blog/FirstKodak.jpg

and this is what the pictures looked like:


http://images.google.com/hosted/life/l?imgurl=48790ea879b49fc6&q=First%20Kodak%20camera%20circular%20pictures&prev=/images%3Fq%3DFirst%2BKodak%2Bcamera%2Bcircular%2Bpictures%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dactive%26biw%3D1024%26bih%3D843%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disch:10,1305

also technicolor would be pretty cool!
ideas for photography:

disk cameras, cannon EOS system,  C-41 color negative process, multi-layer color negative films...

....

Yes I was at pop show friday night. I do not have any pictures.

I'm doing the faculty staff pages and the young life pages. I'm not sure which designer is gonna do what but I will take it into mind. The photos for the teachers are already provided I just have to set it up and all that. Young life I do need to take pictures for but that shouldn't be a problem. I need to talk to the leader of Young life before I can write anything because having his input is important.

Yes I try to blog daily!

oct 7

Yes I will be at Pop Show tomorrow night.

theme stuff

I don't think that writing has much to do with the theme like I can't apply the theme in my writing, maybe the appearance. Like the font can be old or something.
The historical reference that I liked was the pinhole cameras, I thought it was pretty looking.

form

(:

today I made a form and I emailed it.. Y A Y!

0. Um.. okay?
 
Already signed up for YB pages on previous post. But I would really like to do the Young Life club since you know, I kind of started it and it is my last year.

Current events- I also already did this on the previous post.

Letter:

   Dear Random Person Interested in Buying a Calender,

   Thank you for your interest! There are many calenders available and in stock. They are (I don't know the price so I'll make up one) $15.00 each. Your support will go towards the Yearbook program at WAIS. We appreciate it, as you know, yearbooks are very important to the student body! If you send in your money then we will be sure to deliver your calender to your child as soon as possible.
Again, Thank you very much!

Well, since they already happened I can't really do anything. I didn't attend homecoming because I was out of town and I didn't pay much attention to the pep rally although seniors did win the spirit stick!

The yearbook pages I would like to do in order are:

1. YOUNG LIFE.
2. Senior Ads
3. Faculty and Staff
4. Yearbook Staff
5. Wyld life Club
6. Commercial Ads


EXAMPLE OF WRITING FOR PEP RALLY:

Pep rallies are quite different at WAIS. We lack some things like sports, but we still carry plenty of spirit! So what happens when you walk into one? Well, you might want to buy some earplugs. We certainly have some loud people at our school who definitely love their school. You'll most likely see the Westchester Academy Wildcats dance, like seen below. They are extremely talented and after you see them you might even want to see one of there shows. and blah.. blah.. blah etc.

Homecoming is a very festive way to dress yourself. This years theme was Breakfast at Tiffany's. (I did not attend the homecoming dance this year, sorry!!!).

here we go again.

Clubs and Events. I decided to write an example of what yearbook writing would look like about Young Life.


Young Life Christian Club

  Would you like to try something new?
  
  With a passion for God, the Young life club has been going on for awhile now, in fact, about 2 to 3 years! Pretty exciting, huh? Although the club will be sad to see Mark, my youth pastor, move to Austin. We know he is doing the right thing.

 We are honored to still have Stratford Young Life leader Matt. The Young Life club welcomes anyone who wishes to have a fun time after school but also engage in a talk about anything and everything.
 
We do not force religion on anyone and we are very open. We enjoy meeting new people everyday! The Young Life meets every other Wednesday after school in the Art Room. So go ahead and try it out, there's nothing to be afraid of!

Basically, I looked online for writing in the yearbook and examples etc. It was kind of the same as the WAIS yearbook that I looked at before, just for different things. It was the same style. I learned that a lot of other school's have different clubs etc, and that WAIS is very different therefore, the writing should be different.

writing in the yearbook

A lot of the writing has to do with the clubs and the introductions. It has to be detailed and interesting. I looked through Westchester  Miacis from my 6th grade year. Much to my surprise, I never really noticed the details, I guess cause I was a stupid  middle schooler (no offense to middle-schoolers).  I think that my job will be to write the content, not the captions, just the content and to make it make sense and short so that people will want to read it.      

article

I learned how you can use the yearbook in a wrong way, like putting profane quotes in your senior quote and things like that. Also they compared it to older yearbooks saying how we are different. They said, acted, and dressed  differently than us, so we have to show who we are, in a clean manner. This will help others 100 years from now.
Much to our surprise, a lot can come out of a yearbook, whether its memories or offensiveness. You have to be careful, if your taking a risk, to know what your saying and why your saying it.

questions

• Why do you think its important to know the other students with similar positions as your own?

   So we can work together, and understand each other's roles.

• Define your position.

I am a staff writer who writes the main content.

• How might your position interact with others?

I have to interact with the director of writing because she has to edit/read the content I write.

• What is our primary and secondary market audience for the yearbook?

I think that the high school is primary and the middle school is secondary.

• What service has yearbook offered the school? Is it enough? What else can we do?

It has let students take hold of memories. Yes, we can make it better than ever though.

• List any school activities or clubs you are a part of.

The connection/young life club

• Can you think of, and list, what activities and clubs your friends are involved in?

the connection/young life, MUN

• Can you drive for weekend/evening events? Or are you only available for after school events?

Depends which weekend is which, but yes I can drive to events.

caption rewrite

Here we are in front of McCormick Library. The
annual Talent Show  was performed  by fellow students 

on March 21st, 2010. Kim Williams played her 

original song  "Heart" onstage, with no mic and 

no amplifier. She won with a whopping 450 votes with 

Tom Herndon at 2nd place with 340 and Larry Campos in 3rd place 

with 150 votes. Much to our surprise Kim is now attending

 the Air Force Academy but still enjoys playing music.

Here, Sarah Matthew's is seen here making signs after school on
September 26th, 2009 homecoming game. 
She cut out letters to saying "Go Tigers!" which
will align the field entrance. The Tigers proved Sarah's poster 
right as they won 42 to 12 against the Warriors! 

The Tiger's football team would like to thank all 

the clubs for creating signs and banners.

theme again.

Faster Than the Speed of Life
Academics:”On Your Marks”
Athletics:”Setting the Pace”
People & Clubs: “Not a Moment to Lose”
Student Life:”Shifting into a Higher Gear”
Mini-Magazine:”Going the Distance”
World and Community:”In the Blink of an Eye”

I like this one because it has an obvious theme. The titles and catchphrases are obviously having to do with speed. And there is a play on words with the title, which I think is neat.

Yearbooks-

Catalyst: On Yearbook Gallery- La Serna High School

I really like this design and the artwork on front. I'd give it a 8.5. The theme definitely was shown throughout the book, you could see it in the colors. I was impressed by the creativity. Also I really, really, really liked the table of contents. It's pretty.

President's Collection

Caxton

Robert McQueen High School

I thought it was well done, and cute. I give it a 9.35 (yay for random decimals). I was very impressed by the colors and fonts. I think it was very well organized. Also the theme was neat as well as the artwork on the cover. 

theme.

Photography theme, Words that go with it.

The dark room
Photographers
Lens
Camera
Tripod
Zoom
Photo strips
Film

I think that arial and things like that go with it.
It is very clean and angular.
They are bright redish but with black font also.

A lot of the pictures and phrases and font are repeated.

Again, the pictures and font is repeated.

Again, the pictures and font. It's the theme.

The pictures and font and everything. The theme is repeated.

The tone will have a happy sense to it, but it won't be all that colorful.

You can make it apply by showing the student life and what we do in the community and our effects on those around us such as winning the reflections contest.

I don't think it will really cover the downs. You get a feel for it on how the WAIS lifestyle is. It might show students working which I guess could be a down.

Definitely include them and make the theme apply to clubs and there photos and etc. Don't exclude there input but also make the theme repetitive so others can still be able to see the theme.

Reflections

Code of Ethics-

A good writer will always use ethics. They will not cheat or lie in there writing pieces and they will respect copyright rules. Plagiarism is always a big problem with almost everything it can bring up many affairs and lawsuits if not treated as a law. The first amendment states that Congress cannot tamper with the freedom of religion, speech, assembly, and the press. We have rights, don't take advantage of them. That is, don't plagiarize someone's work or slander someone. You must know what's right and wrong.


Ethics: Why Yearbook Editors Need to Follow Some Type of Code-

You need to always be careful about what you say. It can really hurt someone, whether its a very embarrassing photo or a rude caption. You need to put yourself in this person's shoe's and think about how they would feel. If you had a bad disease you wouldn't want to have something about it telling the whole world in a yearbook. Bad things can happen when using bad judgement, whether you like the person or not, you always use respect to your classmates and teachers.

Another Yearbook

Deerfield School 2006

Apparently, this yearbook is in 2006 but I totally thought it was from the 90' at first because it is very colorful. But then I realized that the people looked normal. They have very good photos, but I can't really tell what the backgrounds are. Overall they did well, it's good quality.

I thought it was cute that they put every single person's baby picture above there pictures, at least  from what I saw. Also, I think this is a middle school or something. I really can't tell.

I like the ideas that they had for interesting pages I think we could use more of the incorporating students and there interests into it.                                              

position

I'm under the staff writer position which is fine with me. It's what I wanted. The only thing is that there are only 2 people underneath it! So I hope we don't have to do all the work. But I am happy with it.

photography

The rule of thirds helps you break the image down intro thirds so that you can look at it closely. A leading line looks like where the person should be more focussed on, it points in the right direction to look. Framing is important because it 'frames' the person's face so that you notice. The frames could be anything from grass, people, or books. It can be anything as long as it is interesting and captures the real feeling. Repetition is very important in photography because you can compare each person/thing to each other.

3 Photos-

The one where the football players and the ref are close together and some are holding hands. I think it really shows the emotion, you can't really tell if there still in the game, or if it's over and they lost or won. You can't tell if one of them got injured. But that's okay, you don't need to know that. You just need to notice the important things.

Guy playing guitar- I really like guitars cause I play it. I think it captures the musical mood. The guy really doesn't look too attractive, in fact, he looks sweaty and tired. But that's how it really is. And I think they captures the lighting and his emotion well. Also has a good angle.

Girls carrying golf clubs- This shows repetition. It makes you notice them and how there alone, but they have each other kind of. I like it when its the back of people, I think it suits them better.

editing

I fail at editing. That's all.
But really, there are so many things I should have known. I didn't know that there were so many mistakes! Hopefully no one in our class makes that many. I missed a lot of everything actually, probably because there's no spell check. I usually am decent about spelling, it's a strength but I do admit that I don't know how to spell certain words. I can approve my editing skills with more exercises.

Yearbooks.

I chose the 2008 Faith West Yearbook because I actually know people in it from my church which is pretty cool.
This yearbook shows how lively the school is, there are pictures of students petting dolphins and etc. It was creatively done. There's not a lot of design because most of it is just pictures and more pictures. Which is okay. They seemed, for a private school, to have a lot going on so maybe that is why the pages are FULL. I didn't really like that.
Also they have very small classes, so each grade has one page. I guess thats convenient for all the clubs and seniors.
Honestly, I thought it was very well done with few flaws. It was nice to see some of my best friends too, and how young they were!

Staff Positions

1. Staff Writers- Because I enjoy writing very much, I think it's one of the few things I am decent at. I think it would also be an enjoyable experience.
2. Advertising- I like to sell things, and promote things. I have done that a lot at WAIS. It would also be an enjoyable and a good experience.
3. Photographers- I like taking photos of people. Even if it sometimes creeps out people.
4. Caption Writer- It has to do with writing, like I said before, I love writing.

Making a Blog... Yay!

I've made blogs before so I'm going to have to say it wasn't 'fun'. Just because I've done this so many times. The process was fine. I thought it was fun that it texted the verification code to your cell phone and we got to actually use cell phones in class for the first time, just for that reason though.
The process was overall easy and not complicated in any way.
