THE CLASS

 

Students in the Yearbook class will be responsible for the creation of the CCA yearbooks, supplementary publications, literary magazines, and programs for various campus organizations. Students will use the latest in publishing technology appropriate to our tasks. Students will learn how to create, edit, and publish high-impact pages for our publications using Adobe's InDesign (currently CS3).

Students will be responsible for selecting publishers, theme, creating cover art, creating end-sheet art, creating spreads within the publications, creating sections, and determining the order of the sections, all in a team-based and technologically advanced setting. The course is a single term (fall only) or year-long course that teaches students graphic design in a setting similar to a professional publishing house.
