Only the jpeg's that are used in the layout. No more than that.
A Photoshop document that is saved as a jpeg is ONE photo.

Be sure computer numbers are on turn in sheet.

Backup onto 4 yearbook computers. On these, put what you  need backed up in the back up folder. 

Timesheets will be turned in using Edmodo. They are always due by 2:00 pm on Friday. Simple and brief. For today, for example, "worked on layouts". If you miss this deadline, your grade will be 0 for timesheets and 70 for individual and group. That's 47 for the week. No makeups. If Edmodo does not work, give me the paper timesheet at the end of the last class of the week.





earlier this week
Where are your folders? Get them and understand where to put them so I can always find them.

Confidentiality. 

Edmodo turn ins...what were the problems?


Discuss page turn in sheets. Do them correctly. The date is the due date. 

Deadlines and your grade.

Pages due. What are the problems? Who needs help?
If you have candid pages, be sure you know what kind of candid.
Ask now. If you think you cannot meet a deadline, get help today. The page is your responsibility. 

Use the revised candid templates in Edmodo. Delete the others.  

If you need photos. I have lots of photos on my computer. Pages due in November have priority. Write what you need on your page turn in sheet and give it to me or the Photo Editor, who is Marijana.

If you have a page due in December and you can turn it in now, do that. 

You can work on pages after school.

When resizing photos, press the Shift key, hold and drag from a corner. 

LAW 2.

This should be already be done:

Make a page folder for every page you are assigned. 

Create the InDesign page from an InDesign  template and place it in the folder. If there is no template created for your page, let Daiana, Latazia, Chloe, Caroline or Marisa know. If you do not know which candid template to use, let them know. All pages wind up as InDesign pages.

Type the page numbers on each of the InDesign pages. Even page numbers on the left. Odd page numbers on the right. Delete the page number text boxes you do not use. 

If you have photos for these pages, put them in the folder. Only put in the photos that you are going to use for this page. A Photoshop layout, such as a candid page done in Photoshop, is actually the same thing as one photo. It is saved as a jpeg and placed in the InDesign template as if it were one large photo.

If you are working on 9-11 grade underclass individual photo pages:
a. Divide the pages however you want. Just be sure the person or people responsible for the page is written on the turn in sheet. 

b. Type names alphabetically using Text Edit. You should back this up on a flash drive and the 4 main computers.

Back up your pages and log out.

Anna's story

Photos in folders. Why are you not doing this?
1. You should have a folder with your name on it on your computer.
2. When you take photos, load any that you might use into your folder.
3. If you had been assigned a page for any time this year, make a folder for this page and complete it as much as you can......this week. 
4. Back up onto one of the four "Yearbook" computers.

If you can finish a page that is due in November next week, do that.

Lots of photos on the Nikon SD cards. They will be gone soon.


I have some cross country candids.

I have Homecoming photos, including football action shots.

Be careful that we don't use the same photos on several pages.

This week:

1. Make a folder on your computer.

That becomes your computer.

Know the computer number.

2. Get your photos from camera SD cards or flash drives onto computers. 

3. Back up your work onto one of the four yearbook computers. Use one of our flash drives. 

Flash drives will be deleted regularly. Always use the same computer for backup. 

    Computer 1 keeps pages 1 - 44

    Computer 2 keeps pages 45 - 89

    Computer 3 keeps pages 90 - 134

    Computer 4 keeps pages 135 - 176

Do you know how to eject a flash drive on these Macs? It's different.

4. Place the page folders you are working on in the pages working folder on computers 1-4. Someone needs to make the pages working folder today.

If you have a deadline before the end of November, you should have already done most of this:

If you are working on pages, do the following. Always do first three steps exactly this way and in this sequence:

1. Make a new folder and name it ppage number. That translates into p32 if your page is page number 32.

2. Put only the photos you will use for this page in the page folder.

    If you are using a Photoshop template for your photos, copy that template into your folder also. Think of the Photoshop template as a photo.

3. Make an InDesign page and name it (using file>save as) the page number. That translates into 32.indd if your page is page number 32. Never change the .indd file extension.

4. Place your photos in the InDesign picture boxes on your layout.

5. Type your copy. That's journalism jargon for text, words, names, etc.

You need pictures and words on your pages. Ask yourself, do I have them? How can I get them before my deadline?

Missing a deadline:

10 point deduction from your 9 week grade.

5 points for each day after that. Maximum 30 points per 9 week.

I have photos............

I have candid photos from the Academy Photo shoot. Several freshmen photos. 

I have VIP photos, HCA photos, dance class photos, cheerleaders, library renovation, miscellaneous student photos, and Watkins (art class photos) on a DVD. I probably have some others, like culinary arts.

If you need photos that I might have, do this. 

Write your name and the computer you are using on a piece of paper. Tell me the photos you need and about how many you need. For example, if you are doing the SGA officers page or the other class officer pages, tell me that's what you need. I have those.

Sports pages. Team photos-use the team name sheet.
