Course Description: Yearbook students are responsible for the content, design, layout, marketing and distribution of the school yearbook. The class is different from any other class in the school, as it is a full-scale, full-budget production and students will gain useful, real world skills in time management, marketing, teamwork, and design principles. Students will also develop skills in page design, advanced publishing techniques, copywriting, editing, and photography. Having some background in these is valuable but not required. Students must be capable of self- directing during worktime and be able to commit to additional hours outside of school to cover events and meet deadlines.
