Front cover:

Drama page:




Back cover:



Reflection:

FRONT COVER:
what i like.
i like how the cover is a locker and has pictures of events happening in their school as photo's. i also like how the yearbook can be personalized with the students name on the report card, and how the year is displayed on a sticky note. i just think they are interesting ideas, and different.

what i don't like.
what i don't like about the front cover is the pictures i used. i couldn't really find any good picture of shhs students doing something so i had to use the world record ruin instead. i would of like to add something that looks like the people are having fun with ex. game, sports.

what i would change with more time and material.


what i would change would be the photo's and i would also add more detail to the things in the locker like putting a subject or words on the book in the locker, or changing the colour of the locker to our school colour.

DEDICATION PAGE:
what i like.
i like the idea of having the book with the photos of the students there, it shows students who will graduate and students who will be returning mixed with future students, this shows the reason for the yearbook, because without the students there would be no school, and with no school there would be no yearbook. so i think they deserve the dedication.

what i don't like.
i don't like how the page is boring and uninteresting, it needs more colour or pictures, just something to brighten it up a little. i also don't like how the pictures are so big, i wish there were smaller ones that i could put everywhere over the page.

what i would change with more time and material.
i would use more pictures that better show the students, add brighter colours so that the page becomes more appealing to the eye. i wish i could have found better pictures of students who acually attened sacred heart high school rather than just random people off the internet. i would just like the page to have more on it, and to look more interesting.


ART PAGE:
what i like.
this is my favourite page out of the five, i like it because it shows the artwork in a different way and is just interesting to look at. it makes it look as though there are pieces of artwork piled up on the desk. i just like this page and i thought it was a creative idea.

what i don't like.
there is nothing specific that i don't like about my art page, if anything i would just like to add more pictures and artwork to the page. have more space or just make the other images smaller so more could fit.

what i would change with moretime and material.
if i could change anything i would just spend times making lines more accurate and matching colours better, i would add more artwork and just put more detail towards the page, just fix the small mistakes.


DRAMA PAGE:
what i like.
what i like about my drama page is the fact that it is on a buliton board and the pictures are in frames like polaroid pictures. thisshows the pictures in a new way and makes them stand out more than if they were just placed there.

what i don't like.
what i don't like about the drama page is that it is kind of boring. drama is suppose to be fun and exciting and i think if i had used different colours or mabey added more excitment it would look better and more interesting.

what i would change with more time and material.


what i would change if i had more time and material would be i would like to use pictures of people from our school and i would also change the colours just to make the page stand out more. i would try to add more just to make the page look better and more interesting, would want to make it so peopole would be interesting in reading and looking at it.

BACK COVER:
what i like.
i like the idea of how the information is displayed on the phone like a message. it makes it interesting, and your eye is drawn there. i also like the bright colours used, i think they work well together and look good.

what i don't like.
what i don't like about the back cover is how it doesn't really tie in with the cover. they are different colours and have different objects on them. i would just like the cover and back to be more similar, and be more cohesive.

what i would change with more time and material.
what i would change with more time and material would be to make the cover and back more unified. i would also mabey use other pictures such as like a closed locker just to tie in with the front. i also would maybe add more, just to make it more interesting.

I appreciate the effort put forth for that yearbook. Some of the design is really great!

As I was going through the pages though, I was reminded how impersonal yearbooks sometimes feel. Sure, it creates a community vibe, but often times you are practically left out of the book, save an awkward portrait. I recently discovered this new yearbook company called TreeRing. I'm sharing this info with you because of what they offer: TRULY PERSONALIZED YEARBOOKS. Every single student is given the chance to individualize 10% of their own book. Now everyone can be the star of their yearbook! Check it out at treering.com
