As an editor for yearbook, I was responsible for a few senior pages as well as all the dividers for the book. The dividers would be organized such that they would each span over 2 pages and include a title of the section (examples such as “Primary school”, “Staff” or “extracurricular activities”). These dividers would also have to be made following the main theme of “making history”. For this, I would adopt a 2D-style poster template in which the colours are sharper and the outlines have a higher contrast/thickness.
To do this I would first have to choose images for each of the dividers from the image database. Following this, I would put the photos into and an application named PRISMA and convert them into 2D images (ensuring that they remain in HD). Then I would do some finishing touches on each of the pages through photoshop. I would then implement them into adobe InDesign and create a separate folder named “images” such that it can later be packaged together with the pages I create. The rest is relatively easy yet time consuming as it is a repetitive action of implementing the images, inserting an orange box over the top for the titles (diagonally) and finally I would type out the titles of each section completing another divider for my yearbook task. Thanks to Savi, I was able to learn how to successfully package the pages up so they can be shared and edited with all the other members of yearbook.
In the end of my Yearbook journey and through the process of some trial and error as well as feedback from classmates, I was able to create all the dividers and my quota of senior pages. I was able to learn how to manage pages in a book while learning the ways to use Adobe InDesign. Overall, I worked well with my peers and allowed for my creativity to flow, merging organization, and technological skills to create aesthetic and pleasing yearbook pages. It was a worthwhile experience and checks another box on the diversity of extracurriculars that I had participated with.
