This year since we are online and we cannot meet face to face the teachers for the yearbook have come up with various ways for all of us to share our ideas. Since we started off a little late this year we directly got into discussing themes for the yearbook and to do so we all wrote our different ideas on the padlet that was created. After doing so we all voted on which theme would be the best to reflect everything that has been gone in 2020. Someone came up with a brilliant idea of masquerade and we started discussing more on this theme. Masquerade is like a hidden message since this year has been all about masks. After a lot of thought and brainstorming, we had to change our theme to virtually together because there were not a lot of different sub-themes we could have been done with Masquerade. Every year while we have an overarching theme for the yearbook we also do smaller themes within that for the different sections (primary school, secondary school, events, etc.) that are there.

As we have decided our theme that is virtually together, in the following sessions we started deciding our fonts and sub-themes which are an equally important part of the yearbook. One thing that often does not seem important is fonts, while they might just seem like a tiny part of the yearbook these are what tie the pictures and the theme together. Each section has a different font and theme and this year our subthemes are going to be based on different applications or web conferencing app and platforms that have been utilized not only during school hours but also when teachers and students are on their personal time.

After all of this, we also distributed and selected pages we all wanted to do and I decided to do the staff pages because for the past 2 years I have been doing the student grade level pictures therefore I thought I would get to learn new skills and new templates that I have not worked with before.
