Yearbook and Publication Design

Description

Yearbook and Publication Design puts students in charge of planning and creating a real publication over the school year. They learn layout and typography, take and select photos, write captions and short features, and meet deadlines as a production team. Students practice teamwork, careful proofreading, and design that tells the story of the year. The course delivers a finished yearbook the whole school can keep.
