What i wish i would have known

As this school year ends, and the yearbook has been completed, it has become apparent to me that there are many things I have learned. I wish that in the beginning of this year, I would have known all the information I now know when it comes to using the different programs. It would have made the start of the year much easier. My need for help would have been greatly less and I would have been more independent.

Next year theme idea

"Sealed in Gold"

I believe this works well as a theme for two reasons
1. Gold is a school color of Tm
2. It makes it seem official and classy as well as having value.

Yearbook summary :)

The yearbook has been due and submitted. The 2014-2015 yearbook has been a great thing to help create and I am very glad I got to be a part of it. I look forward to being more responsible for a wider array of aspects next year.

Varsity Volleyball Poster

Before and after. Photoshopping and editing photos for the making of the Varsity Volleyball Poster

Update on Poster:

Everyone has been edited and photoshopped into the same canvas. Text was added and finishing touches are in the works.

Update #2:

Volleyball poster is being resized in order to have a better quality picture displayed on the poster. It's a rather difficult task due to the size it needs to be and dealing with keeping everything in proportion.
