Students in the Yearbook class, aka The Yearbook Squad, are the leaders and decision-makers of the yearbook at Love of Learning. This is an entirely student-driven class with guidance and support provided by me.
Students will learn basic principles of yearbook production and develop skills that include: writing copy, captions and headlines, digital photography, desktop publishing, and using appropriate technology tools for media production. The following list is a sample of what the yearbook project includes:
Develop a theme
Design cover
Create master designs
Create a workable ladder
Set up type specs and graphic elements
Determine story ideas
Determine photo ideas
Set up story and photo assignments
Organize sales and distribution of the book
Advertise and promote
Establish and meet publication deadlines
Edit pages
Students are required to bring a laptop to each class.
All classes are full-year classes. Students enrolled in a Fall Semester class will automatically enroll for the Spring Semester in December to ensure their place in the class. Pricing is per semester.
