Yearbook in INDESIGN
My Yearbook in INDESIGN spread was for Deadline1. I really like how the whole yearbook team is in the page. how each person has an individual picture and everyone is in the group picture. I learned how to use indesign well since this was my first spread. I would improve this by making my story better and designing the page more creatively. I kept a good eyeline and had a dominant photo in this spread. For improvement i should have alligned the students names and i should have design the template creatively instead of having an editor do that.



Clubbing at School
This is the clubs spread for deadline 2. Jared and I worked on it together. What i personally like best about this spread is how we designed the spread creatively and how each picture has a good caption next to it. Also i believe that the story is pretty well done. Since this was my second spread I learned that the layout and design of the spread is really important. In this spread Jared and I actually designed the spread creatively and enjoyed it also. We tok risks like puting the story in the middle of the spread. we also tried having four big pictures instead of one dominant photo. I would improve the fact that there is no dominant photo. also i would move the story away from the gutter. Overall i like this spread and thank Jared for producing this spread with me.



Autographs 172-173
This is my Autograph spread for deadline 3. I worked on this spread alone. I really like the design i used next to the words "autograph." it represents the theme of our yearbook. I also like how i put th pictures in a certain pattern instead of just next to each other. I learned that a spread doesn't need writing or a story to look good. I kept space at the gutter so the spread can look the same on each side which i consider a risk. What i would improve is some of the pictures. I believe better ones could have been put in the spread. even though this spread doesn't have a story i like it a lot.



Index
This is my Index spread fro Deadline 4. This spread is also a none story spread. I really like the design of the blue circle's. i also like how the pictures are laid out. I learned how to not use a lot of space in the spread because it's needed later. I put text boxes in each column for the names of the students. the risks i took are that there is no eyeline and that circle's are at the tip of the gutter. To be honest i wouldn't improve this spread much. I believe that it is well done.
