Yearbook

As part of the yearbook group, my goal is to work together as a group to create this year’s yearbook which the students and teachers of OSC will enjoy. I will brainstorm ideas, and stylistic layouts that our group will add to the yearbook. For this year’s theme, we wanted it to be very different and stand out more than the other yearbooks from the past, and something that can be remembered. During our sessions, we all collectively brainstormed different ideas, with the main topic being “Who are we?” We included traits such as ‘risk-takers, curious, communicators, adaptable, critical thinkers, diverse, resilient, belonging, eco-friendly, creative, and inclusive’ and many others.

To create the yearbook we will use a software called ‘Adobe Indesign’ which is an application used to create books, magazines, brochures, as well as print digital publication. I had to do some extra practice because I’m very new to this software. During our sessions, we also chose the theme, colors, as well as font that will be used throughout to design the layout of the book. So far we have assigned tasks for each group member and discussed which sections of the book each member should be responsible for. We have also planned to have the students (primary and secondary) all in the field on the 17th of October and we were going to use a drone to take a picture of the students on the field for the cover of the yearbook, but unfortunately due to the past few days being rainy, we had to postpone it to a later date, which is still being decided.
