In It To Win It
It’s all-inclusive and intimate storytelling with graphically enhanced design that drives forces of your yearbooks and newspapers! This summer’s workshop experience will allow you to accomplish WINNING STRATEGIES for your publication planning in these three days rather than the first six weeks of school. The end result will be the most highly customized and individually personalized concept, coverage and design only you can imagine.
ALL IN… Planning revolves around building and layering an innovative concept for your publication; uncovering fresh ideas and angles for inclusive coverage; discovering a new voice in your writing; and strategizing content-driven graphic design. Our instructors will present More of everything including the hottest trends followed up with the personal attention you want and deserve.
YEARBOOK TRACK
Staff members will work together as a team to brainstorm the theme concept, coverage and content with hands-on time to implement those ideas in their yearbook portfolio. They will leave with cover, endsheets, title/parting pages, opening/closing spreads, dividers and graphic cool tools to strengthen the theme’s verbal-visual impact.
Emphasis will be placed on working together to create a meaningful book for the student body, as well as getting everything in place for an easier start to the school year along with strong theme integration and design opportunities.
Specialty Tracks
YEARBOOK ADVISER
Covers all topics taught in Team/Split Track sessions but without hands-on work time. The track runs concurrently to other classes, with specific times for advisers attending with staffs to meet for planning sessions. The class will also look at a range of topics from deadline management to staff motivation and morale, as well as Jostens new products and services for the upcoming year. Perfect for advisers attending without students, advisers wishing to work with their staffs on the concept and creation of their book should enroll in the same track as their staff, not the Adviser Track.
