Nov 22- Nov 26 Weekly Post

This week has been busy! I started the Yard Clean Up spread, and the Duathalon and East West spreads have been packaged.  I have finally learned how to package a spread.  Brianna and I have also figured out the page numbers for the spread.  Also Logan and Jaimee and getting a great start on the cover.  This week Brianna and I did a photoshoot with Alyssa.  We had words of inspiration on our stomachs.  I will post a few that I edited!  Also today (Friday) I am starting my Prezi presentation, on a career in communication technology, I am not sure which one yet!
Until next week,

Nov 15th-18th Weekly Post

This was a very slow week. The previous week we had wrapped up some big projects (spreads) so this week we had to start fresh.  Also we lose Friday because it is a PD day.  Brianna and I wrote out a rough layout for the yearbook.  We took a look at some of the past yearbooks to give us a little push.  I was shocked to see how much the yearbooks have changed over the years.  We both started new spreads, I started the yard clean up spread.  I also took some photos for the yearbook of the student council canned food drive. I will post a few of my photos below!

Until next week,

Nov 8- Nov 12 Weekly Post

This week was very successful! I finished the Duathalon spread and it was sent up to Ms. Thompson for editing.  I corrected the mistaked and I am ready to package the spread!  I also made my second button (finally) and explored prezi.com.  I have started to make a prezi, it is a very interesting program, and can actually casue motion sickness.  It made Brianna a bit nauseaous.  Never the less I am learning a ton about prezi and I can see myself using this program in the near future for some of my other classes!

Weekly Post Nov 1st- 5th PART 2

This week I also did quite a bit of work on the Duathalon Spread for the yearbook.  I learned alot about how to add the captions and not box them out.  It was difficult re-arranging work, but in the end I managed to ensure that the captions were not boxed out as well as add another photo.  I am not quite finished with the spread so I will post a copy of it as soon as I am finished!  Also i made a prezi account, which I am very excited about!  It looks like an awsome program and i am sure that I will be using it alot!

Til next week!

Weekly Post Nov 1st- 5th PART 1

It was a pretty darn productive week! I started off with the most difficult photo editing task that i had ever tried.  Using the clone tool I completely erased a person from a photo.  It was very frusterating and it took me three days to do, but it was definatley worth it in the end.  I had to be very careful to ensure that I cloned out every trace of the person in the background, including her shadow which was very tricky.  I was even able to use the edited photo in the yearbook spread for the Duathalon.  I was proud of my work, and I definatley have a better grasp on the clone tool.  Here is the original and edited photo:
