Yearbook...Write, Design and Photograph!
Students taking this class will create the ESMS 24-25 Yearbook. Under the guidance of ESHS teacher Nicole Adams, students will learn to use Josten's publishing program Layout Pro, learn to meet strict deadlines, work with text (copy), manipulate graphics, take photographs, and participate in the team's creative process. The class will focus on students understanding a designer’s target audience and stimulating creativity through a variety of two-dimensional media. Yearbook Production supports student’s development as writers, photographers, editors, independent users of technology and as responsible contributing members of the El Segundo Middle School community. Students in the class will receive a free yearbook.
Class Requirements: Being a member of the yearbook staff requires a time commitment. When possible, students will be asked to take photos of student life, school events and school sports using a phone camera or camera. Students will be responsible for working at home to meet any deadline obligations not finished in class. Students must feel comfortable reaching out to their peers (even ones they don't know) to conduct interviews as needed for their assigned pages.
Class Meeting Time/Dates: In addition to the requirements above, students will meet with Mrs. Adams from 3:00 pm to 3:45 pm in the MS Library on the 15 Tuesdays immediately below. (The "Class Dates" section below this is NOT correct.)
