Yearbook Page Layout and Design ~ Lesson 1
Use Publisher to create a single page yearbook spread.- use a variety of tools
- all photos one theme (eg: closeups, volleyball, friends)
- align all photos closely with same gap
- template may be used, but be creative
- headline should set theme for page and be legible
- use colors that go together
- background should add to layout
- white-space should be minmized (people pay to see photos)
- The Layout will be graded as follows below:
| Assessment Rubric | ||||||
| Tools | Grid | Template | Headlines | Color | Background | |
| 4 | Wide variety | all photos closely & evenly spaced with grid | no evidence of template | creative, attracts attention | from same color bar | adds to quality of layout |
| 3 | Enough to get message across | most photos evenly aligned with grid | template part of layout | gives photos meaning | compliment photos | a little distracting |
| 2 | Used a few tools | some photos aligned with grid | template evident | hard to read | too bright | too busy or bright |
