Creating a Guidebook for Future Yearbook Staffers


Staff Guidebook
Now that you’re an expert on yearbook creation, it’s time to pass on our knowledge to future yearbook students.  What have you learned that you wish you knew earlier?  What would you do differently or better?  What advice would you give to a new yearbook student?
Create a guidebook to pass on to a new staffer for next year. Your guide to yearbooking should include a list of duties and deadlines, a section outlining the different yearbook tasks and tips on how to complete assignments, with specific instructions on caption writing, cropping, photography, organization, etc.
It should be presented in the form of an original layout that is visually appealing and that includes at least three photos.  Consider having a headline and several sub headlines for different types of information.  
This assignment will use all of your yearbook skills, tap into what you have learned about creating layouts and pages, and give you an opportunity to tell others what you have learned.
