A self-analytical evaluation:
I got started in yearbook second semester of my senior year. I’ve always been interested in website designing and I got into photoshop last year, so I thought yearbook would be a valuable class for me to take. I also took digital media my freshman year and loved learning how to edit and create different photos on the computer. I’m really interested in marketing and other designing and wanted to expand in different areas like yearbook design. I have learned a ton of new skills throughout my few months here. I learned how to use the Jostens website and how important the aesthetics of the page is. I loved being able to be creative with the pages and how we had a lot of freedom to do what we wanted to do. One of my …show more content…
This is the only page I created by myself and I loved how it turned out. The purpose of this page was to highlight students with unique and interesting hobbies. I started out by making a list of students who had hobbies and then contacted them to see if they would like to be featured in the page. Majority of the students were happy to be in the page, but it was difficult to get them to finish the interview questions and send me pictures of them doing their hobbies. After I got all the interviews done, I wrote up a paragraph or two about each hobby and how the person has grown from it and why they love it. I rearranged the page to what I thought would be a better fit and easier to follow. It was more difficult than I thought because since I wasn’t very familiar with Jostens I couldn’t figure out how to change the coloring and text. Mr. Prusko was able to keep my vision for the page, but organize and change the coloring to make it look much more presentable. I loved how it turned out because it flowed together really nicely and all the pictures ended up looking great …show more content…
This page I learned a lot about the way pictures should face and how to write simple but interesting captions. I worked on this page with Maddie and we wanted people to be able to see the page and get a sense of what the ski team is about. Ski Team isn’t just about racing but being on a beautiful mountain every weekend and creating life long friends. This piece evolved a lot as we added in pictures that we had taken of Mt. Ashland and found higher quality photos of racers. The page could be further improved by making the photos lighter and editing them a bit more. Some photos are much brighter than others which contrasts them. I also think that we could have added a group photo so the entire team was shown on the mountain. Another addition would be to add pictures from State but we didn’t have enough time to rearrange the page to fit more pictures. Maddie and I rearranged this page quite a few times and I ended up moving things around to where we could both be happy about how it looked. The process was really fun because we got to interview ski team members about the season and integrate their answers into the
