My NHS spread was due for the first deadline that we were given. I think that I did a really good job on this spread seeing that is was the first one that was assigned to me. I like the layout that I used and where i paced my pictures. I really like the picture i have of Haley (bottom left) I think it really shows that the NHS Fun Run was actaully fun. In the other pictures I have you can see that everyone had a good time running, walking, or counting laps for others. I also like how I had pictures of the individual officers under my story, this was a way that I could give them recognition for being great leaders and students. In doing this spread I was able to learn a lot about NHS, I learned what had to be done in order to become a member as well as some of the history of NHS and I also got a better idea of how to use indesign becasue I had never used it before. I didn't take many risks with this page. I don't really have a dominant photo or an eye line, but the title of the page is big and catches the readers attention. If i could re-do this spread I would make sure that I had a dominant photo as well as an eye line and I might have played with the layout a little bit more.

I did this spread with Karen and it was due for our second deadline. I like how we tried to use the theme of the whole yearbook (road trip) with this page. The dominant photo of Brittney and Ahmed is in the shape of a stop sign. This spread was a little but of a challenges because Karen and I didn't know if this page was meant for IB program or IB theater, it took us awhile to figure out that it was for the arts. We also didn't know if this page would include the play. This spread was focused on IB Theater. There was an IB show that I went to and was able to take pictures of. It was really hard to take good pictures because the actors were always moving and a lot of the pictures came out blurry. Doing this spread I learned how to bring an image from the internet and put it as the background of the spread. The risks we took were putting in the red curtains as the background and to use the dominant photo in the shape of a hexagon. If I could re-do this page I would try to get some better pictures and to use the space better because right now it is kind of empty. I would also try to make a picture cross the gutter and make sure that there is an eyeline. Even though there is no eyeline to unify the two pages, I think the curtians in the background brings the two pages together.

I worked on this page with Nora. I like the collage look we used on this page, the pictures crossed the gutter helping the two pages connect. The heading we used was catchy and has to do with dance. Nora and I did a really good job on our story, the only problem was that it was very long, but we couldn't cut any of it. I learned how to connect two pages with each other so it doesn't look like just two random pages. We took risks by using this collage style. This page was hard to do because since out story was so long there wasn't enough room for all of our pictures or for any captions. If i could re-do this page I would try to get pictures of the location dances that we did in the beggining of the year, and I would cut the story so we would have more room for pictures and then maybe be able to use some captions to recgonize indvidual dancers.

I like this spread because I got the chance to do a page that didn't require a story or my imagination. I couldn't really take many risks with this spread but I put the teachers names under their picture and then I put their department on the side of the picture to give me a little bit more room. One challenge i had with this spread was getting all of the teacher pictures, some of them didn't get their pictures taken when they were supposed to be. Another challenge was having to put so many pictures to a page. I wouldnt change anything if I had the chance to re-do this page.
