Yearbook Analysis

Decent Essays

When I first started yearbook, I expected to just look over the yearbook and fix mistakes from the first semester class. For example if they created a page I figured we would just edit it or look over it and adjust things. My expectations in ways matched how I figured it would go, but I also got to create new pages and have an opinion on pages and designs. When we first came to yearbook, we were told to explore the tools and mess with everything to get a feel for the website. We explored the images, designs, the format, and all the other tools.

There were a lot of things that I could of guessed we would do, but I also learned a lot more than I thought I would. Being in yearbook showed me lots of editing tools and how to work together to get a good page. I got to come up with my own pages and work with my classmates to get the yearbook how we pictured it. My experience in yearbook was much more than I thought it to be, we learned more things than I anticipated. I learned many new things and worked with lots of new people.
