=11.29-12.3 Work on Yearbook Pages= We are having some technical difficulties with Yeartech and InDesign. Mr. Belland will be calling at 10 to help us solve the problem, I hope.

PP. 33-48 must be finished by Tuesday. This includes the Senior Portrait pages (Kalene and Brandi), Senior Younger Years pages (Payton), Student Life Division page (Brandi and Kalene), color senior candid pages (Brandi and Kalene), and Prom pages (Taylor).

All other 1st deadline pages are due December 15. This includes the Spring Play, Homecoming, Boys and Girls Golf, Boys and Girls Track, Softball, Baseball, Volleyball, Football, Cross Country, and Soccer. Do you have everything you need?

=11.22-11.24 Work on Yearbook Pages= Do you have all of the information/pictures you need for Deadline 1 which is December 10, EXCEPT, pages 33-48 which are due to the plant Monday, November 29. Pages 33-48 need to be printed out Wednesday so I can look them over in case changes need to be made before submitting them to Jostens on Monday. =11.16-11.18 Work on Yearbook Pages= Email club/organization advisers, coaches, or teacher responsible for the activity for which you are creating the page(s). Rename pictures for your pages. Move pictures for your page into the digital picture folder for that page. Select a page layout for your page using Page Surfer. =11.15 Select Yearbook Fonts= Open the attached file. We need to narrow down our choices again. Please log into Gaggle.net email account and email me your choices. Pick 2 headline fonts and 2 body fonts. =11.11 Create Yearbook Pages= Continue creating pages in InDesign with Yeartech =11.10 Create Yearbook Pages= Learn/Review creating pages in InDesign with Yeartech. =11.9 Finish selecting Deadline 2 and Deadline 3 Yearbook Pages= Open the 2011 yearbook ladder file below so that we can finish selecting yearbook pages. Each staff member is responsible for creating 5-6 pages. Some of you only have 2 or 3 pages. Students who do not have at least 5 pages will be asked to do additional photo editing/cutout backgrounds, etc., as well as help anyone who is having trouble completing their pages on time. This is a group project, and everyone needs to do their share of the work to create a quality yearbook. =11.8 Select Deadline 1 Yearbook Pages=

=1.5 Photo Editing and Enhancement= Continue doing cutout backgrounds for any individual pictures you see in the digitial picture folder in the Yearbook 2011 folder. You can also do cut out backgrounds for group photos done in the auditorium so that we can paste them onto other backgrounds. I am expecting each of you to do at least 3 other cutout backgrounds (in addition to the Kayla cutouts we already did) that can be used in the yearbook, so get busy. You don't all have to do the same cutouts; in fact, it would be great if you each chose different ones. There will be more cutouts to do once we get sports pictures in. Use the tools described on the 11.2 post below. =11.4 Photo Editing and Enhancement= Paste a cutout image (Kayla standing) onto a new background (Masquer group photo), and use the eraser tool to erase what you don't need. You will find it best to adjust the opacity of the cutout image to help you see what to erase. =11.3 Photo Editing and Enhancement= Continue working with cutout backgrounds. =11.2 Photo Editing and Enhancement= If you were absent yesterday, make sure you do the activities from 11.1 first. Ask a classmate for help.

Today, start Photoshop Elements. Open the Photoshop file we worked on yesterday (KaylaWeltzien2.psd). Make sure you open the .psd file, not the .jpg file. Continue selecting and deleting the background (everything but Kayla). You should use the magic wand tool, the rectangular marquee tool, the elliptical marquee tool, and the eraser tool. Remember you can Zoom in with Ctrl + or Zoom out with Ctrl -. Save frequently. If you mess up, you can UNDO. If you really mess up, you might have to start over. If you are having problems, ask a classmate for help. We will work with the cutout of Kayla on Wednesday.

If you continue to have problems with this, try this tutorial. The directions are quite a bit different than the method I showed you in class, but this method may work better for you.

Your next project is to open the other KaylaWeltzien photo and get rid of the background of that file. You will open the KaylaWeltzien1.jpg file in Photoshop Elements and immediately save the picture to your y: drive (if you have room) or to the folder you created on the j: drive in the Yearbook 2011 folder. Start by cropping out as much of the background as you can by using the rectangular marquee tool, go to Image, and crop. Make sure you SAVE the file as a Photoshop file (change the type of file in the SAVE AS dialog box). Then use the magic wand tool, the rectangular marquee tool and delete, the elliptical marquee tool and delete, and the eraser tool to get rid of everything but Kayla in the picture. AGAIN, remember to save frequently.

There are several other individual photos that we will need to cut out and place into group photos. Look through the digital pictures in the Yearbook 2011 folder and work on getting rid of the backgrounds around the individuals. You can also open group photos (those taken in the auditorium) and get rid of the backgrounds of those so we can place the groups onto other backgrounds.

GOOD LUCK! Remember, ask a classmate if you are having problems. =11.1 Photo Editing and Enhancement= Today we will learn to use Photoshop Elements for editing and enhancing photos. Our first projects will be Cutout Backgrounds. You will copy pictures from the yearbook digital pictures folder and paste them into your folder on the y: drive. If you get an error saving to your y: drive, then create yourself a folder in the Yearbook 2011 folder on the j: drive to save your work in. You will open the files in Photoshop Elements and then save them as Photoshop files (using the SAVE AS command, and change the file type to Photoshop .psd files. This is a critical step as you will most likely need more than one class period to work on editing and enhancing photos. =10.27 Homecoming Booklet= Last class day to work on Homecoming Booklet pages. After today, you will need to finish your pages on your time. ALL PAGES MUST BE DONE by Wednesday, November 3. =10.26 Homecoming Booklet= Continue working on your pages for the Homecoming/Fall Sports Booklet. Make corrections if needed. =10.25 Homecoming Booklet= Continue working on your pages for the Homecoming/Fall Sports Booklet. Print your page before you leave class today. =10.22 Homecoming Booklet= The fonts we will use for the pages are AYT Firewalk — Headlines/Titles (36 points) AYT Clarence— body text (12 point) and photo captions (10 point)

AYT Rigid-- Stand-out, one-word text (24-36 points)

We should have the team pictures on Monday. For now, please draw in rectangular frames for pictures you will place when we get those pictures. Also, put in a random text caption for the picture. Use the Random Text below for your caption; modify the length of it to reflect the number of words you think will be in your caption (GUESSTIMATE). Remember, you can use bold, italics, adjust character spacing, and paragraph spacing to modify the fonts we are using. YOU MUST, however, use the fonts and sizes indicated, Use the AYT Rigid font only if you want to create some stand out, one-word text. Before you leave today, print out your page so I can look it over this weekend. REMEMBER, all pages need to be saved on the j: drive/ in the Homecoming Booklet folder, NOT in your folder on the y: drive. I need to have access to your page, and I cannot access your page from your folder on the y: drive.
