I don't think I've written it in one place. Major award winners from this year at Sands in Media Arts:
Because yearbook became an actual class this year, it was possible to get more organized. The editors focused on having some design themes that run through the whole book, unifying it. (In the past this was more difficult as every staff member was working on their own spread on their own time.) The design choices included: - a picture 'bar' running along the bottom of every page. - every page background clean white. - 1 large 2-page photo spread for section title pages. - same font choice and size for all headlines and paragraphs. - not putting names on all the photos, using an index instead. Those of you taking the class next year, start thinking in the back of your head about design and layouts ideas. If you're not in the class but still want to work on it, we'll still take you. We'll be having a weekly meeting time one day at lunch next year. And we'll always take good pictures. And I'll steal them from the Media Arts class. And if you're good with photoshop, maybe you can make the cover. Going on right now. Curious how these'll turn out. PS. Some lighting terminology:
The big rectangle lights are called "softboxes", because they diffuse the light and make it "soft" so there's no hard lines between what's in shadow and what's lit up. They are also "cool" lights and "continuous lighting", because you can leave them on all the time and they stay cool because they use CFL lights. The top light, sometimes called a "hair light" because that position is used for highlighting the back of the hair in a portrait, is also a "hot" light, as Jeremiah will tell you. Because it's more of a spotlight, it makes the light "hard" so it produces dramatic light/dark contrasts. |
