Deadline # 1- JV Volleyball
This spread was my first spread and I was a little new at designing pages for the year book. The this that I like best about ths spread is the header and the scores box that I had to design and measure in Photoshop, this took a long time to so. In this spread I learned that i needed to have bigger pictures and i little bit better background than just a plain color. In this spread I didn't take very many risks, the only thing that you could consider being a risk would be discarding and designing my own scores box. To improve this spread I could maybe have made the background a little better by puttng a picture on the background. Also I should have put a dominant photo on this page that crosses the gutter.

Deadline #2- Sophpomores Class Page
I completed this spread with Mark and we worked on it together during the course of the deadline. This project consisted of about 4 or 5 spreads but for this purpose i chose only one. What i like best about this spread is the center part where there is the superlatives and the class officers, i like this part of the spread because there is a different and cool background on each one of the spreads. The pictures are of the city or of a road or street to match the theme of the yearbook, Road Trip. In this spread i learned how to use candids and cut out peoples heads to them paste into a certain small box on the side. The risks that i took in this spread would be getting everyone to vote on the superlatives and i never really was the type of person who would publicly go up to random people in my grade and ask them to vote on a certain topic. What i could have improved on this spread would be to take some better candid photos.

Deadline #3- Title Page
This spread was a easy one for me because it was more about designing and pictures than about a story and going to teachers and interviewing them. I like the logo that i desgined for like a title of the spread. And also the fact that i was the one who took all of the photos of the signs and the bus and the taxi. What I learned about this spread was that a background that is a picture rather than just a plain color. The risks that I took during this spread are that I made my own title logo, and also that i used a map of Egypt for the background. To improve this spread i maybe could have put i little better background rather than just a map of Egypt.



Deadline #4- JV Basketball
This spread was the last spread i created and my best looking spread yet. What i like about this page is that i used a really cool old paper background to make it look like an old newspaper. And i also discarded the old scores box and made my own really cool basketball scores box. And above and to the left of the story there are these really cool lines or strokes to out line the story. And again in the to right had of the page there is the Screaming Eagles logo which i had to render of the CAC sports website. Again i like the masking tape that i placed on the corners of the dominant photo. During this spread i learned that a dominant photo really helps make a page look better. And i learned that an eye line will really help a spread look better, i used the red and black lines as an eye line for this spread. The risks that i took during this spread was making my own scores box and taking a logo of the internet and rendering it so i can use it on my page. The only thing i think i could have done to improve this spread would be to take some better pictures to use on this spread.
