Happy Yearbook Editors!

October 17th-22nd

I actually cannot believe it is Friday.  This week had gone by incredibly fast.  I have started to make my first spread by myself!  I am learning so much about CS2.  I have come to appreciate the abiltity to lock a photo in its place, and I have a new respect for graphic desigeners.  I worked on the spread on Monday and Tuesday.  On Wensday I was at the city wide cross country running meet.  I ran in the race and I also took some photos.  I will put them on to the computer and I will post a few on my blog!  I am really pleased at hou\w some of my action shots turned out.Today I attmepted to make a button and got thoroughly frusterated at CS2, but I am very detrmined to make this button, so believe me it will be done on Monday.

Until next week...CKM

October 12th-15th

This week has been exhausting. Blah.  Im slowly adjusting to IB.  This week in class I made a poster in Adobe Photo Sop Elements, that I posted a few days ago.  I've learned how to create drop shadow on font, to make the title pop!  I am slowly becoming to love Photo Shop.  Although I can still get extremely frusterated at it.  I also edited some photots from the Duathalon as well as typed up a news report.  Brianna and I started to make the East West spread for the 2010-2011 yearbook, and I have to say it is looking pretty good!  We plan on starting on the cover desing next week!  I'll make sure to keep things posted as we finish them! Til next week...

September Turns To October-Weekly Post

The first month was such a whirl.  So much has happened it is unbelieveable. Tackling IB one subject at a time and still finding time to sleep.  I take freat pride in my work on the yearbook.  It's my only class where I can be creative, and there are also no due dates in this class.  That is a truly beatiful thing. 

I came into the position as yearbook editor without a clue what CS2 or the lasso tool were.  I had no idea how to make a spread or edit a photo, but as I write this, I can confidently say that I am on my way to becoming a lasso master.  I now know the importance of re-sizing a photo and how to manipulate the layers on CS2.  I have successfuly lassoed many a photo, editied a bodycopy and taken creative liberties.  Bri and I have officially completed the Spirit Spread in the 2010-2011 yearbook, and it has been sent up to Ms. Thompson for official editing.  I will post a copy of the spread, along with some of my edited photos. Plenty of hard work and frustration can been seen in these pictures.  Anyway off to start the East West spread!  Til my next weekly post! ckm
