Comments from students, faculty about PRINTED Yearbook 08
excellent that it was shrink wrapped! few or no pixelated photos people pages are simple and creative - complicated mug pages detract from mugs! superlatives on a separate page and a lot for all the grades - had character! liked the word searches and suduku loved the WWWs pages Yearbook page - photoshopped large photo popular big dominant photos popular! candids not posed - candid pages look professionally done liked the cover - newspaper element didn't notice error on back cover liked B&W photos with color elements - photoshop liked cut-outs one of the best yearbooks he's seen great headlines - we bust ours to kick yours! layout catchy phrases passing it out on last day of regular classes for seniors, kept the seniors calm
 * Positives**

small editing errors - wrong grade level on students: band freshmen/sophomores, new school page - junior/senior photo missing a student in a band subhead is a logo - so the logo has a word missing from - as too long for subhead repeated photos - pg 137 and 139, pg 1 and 39, pg 36 and 136, pg 39 and 178, 74 and 60 misquotes - student doesn't remember saying this and CISSA didn't win Senior quote that some got offended by - although senior advisers had no problem - "I'm sorry, but god does not exist." stretched photos - 177 and 139 one group of juniors of one nationality not included at all (hang out choir room and/or library)
 * Negatives**

"edited by" if it's a rescue page Homecoming - posed photos of couples in court senior quotes - To make senior pages look better - have something for everyone. Kat & Karina to talk with senior class about what quotation means. And quality standard for portrait photos - portrait photos should be professional - consider using handwriting more autographs pages superlatives are controversial - have teachers pass out voting at the end of class - also, put it in morning announcements
 * Suggestions**

Comments from students, faculty about DVD Yearbook 08

 * Positives**
 * practice movie (on WWW) helped to improve skills
 * covers last part of year that can't be in printed Yearbook - important!
 * keeps the class busy the last quarter
 * one Yearbook student likes the DVD more than the spreads - easier to create
 * others - easier to do spreads - more practice with spreads than DVD
 * nice variety between movies - more than last year - that were longer!
 * music was enjoyable - rhythm matched movement of photos
 * Negatives**
 * one movie very short - photos 'on' a very short time - very noticeable
 * two menu items not on panel
 * don't use old photos much - include most recent photos from March - May
 * Suggestions**
 * advertise what's on the DVD more - add a page at the back of the book that advertises the DVD or put in a separate flyer that advertises the DVD
 * set the minimum requirement of time for each movie - suggestion: 2 minutes or as long as a complete song - around 3 minutes
 * try to get the menu to fit the template - no hanging over on the side
 * 9-11 movie - separate grade levels - or consider doing photos that trace the grade through the year
 * teacher requires new photos for movies
