This course specifically addresses the multi-faceted needs of beginning journalism students by introducing them to all phases of yearbook production.  Students will learn skills used in layout, design, photography, and publishing.  An integral part of this course will be the production of a school yearbook.  These class-based activities are envisaged as providing students with experience in the actual journalism concerns of interviewing, reporting, meeting deadlines, and producing a publication.

This course is suited to those students who have an interest and aptitude for Visual Arts, design, photography, or journalism.  The course is unique in that it produces the yearbook sold to students and staff.  Class members are expected to show a commitment to the process which calls for creativity, organizational skills, and a balance between independent work and a strong team effort.
