One Deadline Kind of Done. Three to Go.

That's right, the first 32 pages of the yearbook are DONE. Sort of. Unfortunately, as every yearbook publication goes through, we are still in the process of making editing adjustments to our spreads. Our "proof" files are here; the large printouts of what we've turned in to Herff Jones, where we make corrections online and resend it back to the processing plant. In the midst of this all, deadline 2 has creeped up on us, leaving a rush to get things done. I mostly spent today's elective planning out the NEXT deadline, which is in three weeks. Ridiculous right... But that's what yearbook is! Deadline 3 has a lot of spaces to fill, since we don't know what will be happening on campus for the next month. I also spent a lot of time helping each team leader with their assignments. The designers are working hard at and after school. We've had 3 Skype "work" meetings from home, so not every second is wasted. We also got some more new students, so we took a good chunk of elective time to teach them the basics. As I was working in the back, I saw that main issues I've come across lately is the lack of content due to the winter break, as well as there being not much happening at iPoly lately. So I'm going to be busy trying to plan out the content that we will be needing, as well as the two other deadlines that are on our backs. Oh boy.

Anyways, here are some updates regarding Yearbook.

A profile that will be going into the senior portraits. I've revamped the photo to become a cut out of the person, so it's not as boring, as well as a better headline.

Elijah and his spread. He's working on the "all coverage device", which covers what happened during the week in photos and caption, much like Instagram. 

A proof file we got back, of the senior class and the best and most winners... We fixed it, big time! Nathan is in the works of it.

Nitjasin and his layout of a spread. This is honestly the hardest part of creating a spread, because you don't have any content to work off of yet. You've just gotta visualize.

Panorama of the room, busy with deadlines.

Bryan editing some copy writing, which will go into a spread about Model Assembly.

Strand paused the class today to teach a crash course to the newbies. They need to improve their interview skills, so they did an activity.

Hannah, a photo editor, going through each and every spread to mark down people in photos, so that each photo has a different person.

Bryan and I had to go over Hannah's list of people to see who's been in the book too much, versus who hasn't. 

Deadline 3 planning! Still in the works as well.
