Design Assignment #1

Gather 5-10 images/graphics that related to YOUR sense of the IDENTITY of LCI. Using your handout where you came up with 3-5 adjectives to describe LCI and then attempted to find visual ideas to represent those adjectives, now your job is to try to find 5-10 images or graphics that you think really represent the idea of LCI.

Save the images into a folder that you name LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME_THEME and drop that folder into the Yearbook folder - Yearbook 15-16 - THEME IDEAS folder.

We will continue viewing them in class on Monday.

Reporting Assignment #1

Part of the job of a yearbook staffer is to capture the year at LCI through photography, design and writing.

Remember that a yearbook has 5 different functions:

MEMORY

HISTORY

REFERENCE

PUBLIC RELATIONS
FUN!

This assignment is a lesson in gathering accurate information as a reference, but also to capture memories. 

1. Sign out one of the journalist's notebooks - each notebook has a list of questions that need to be answered for any event throughout the year.

2. For assignment #1, choose an event - it could be Grade 9 week, or something else that is going on at LCI - First impression of cafeteria food, parenting class, lunchtime hangout, how people get to school etc.

3. Observe and jot down your observations as you answer the questions in the notebook.  Make sure you stick around long enough that you can get a sense of highlights that happened - atmosphere and mood are also good to note - or the outcome of the event if applicable.

Ask questions to get a few quotes from 2 or 3 people to get their impressions of the event. Be accurate - write down names and information exactly, so that we're truly gathering accurate information.

4. Go to the link list in this blog and click on the link for Journalist Info Form and fill in the blanks. 

5. Celebrate that you've accomplished something for the yearbook by entering it into the Yearbook Production Sheet! (also found in the link list)
