Seniors must have their photographs taken through Bell Photography for the senior mug pages to ensure that all faces are of the same proportion and use the same background. There is no charge for this shooting. Shooting arrangements are the sole responsibility of the senior. The school calendar lists the photo dates and retake dates scheduled by the Behemoth staff. All students, faculty and staff will be afforded at least two opportunities to have their portraits taken or retaken if necessary. By having all portraits taken by the same photographer, under the same conditions, and having all senior portraits taken in a similar manner, the yearbook staff can be assured of the highest quality reproduction of all photographers serving the best interests of all students. Team Photo Policy All sports teams should have their team photo taken by Bell Photography. It is the responsibility of the teams coach to schedule their own photo appointment with Bell. The Behemoth staff is not responsible for scheduling such appointments. All teams choosing Bell as their photographer do not have to supply the Behemoth staff with a copy of their team photo. Bell sends a copy of such photographs to the Behemoth staff automatically. If a team chooses to have their team photo taken by another photographer and still wishes to be included in the yearbook, that team must provide the Behemoth staff with a 5 by 7 print of the team. It is not the responsibility of the Behemoth staff to collect photos of teams not choosing Bell Photography. Group Photo Policy Group photos for clubs and organizations, not including sports teams, will be posted during the year. The Behemoth staff will be responsible for scheduling these events. Groups who do not appear at their specified time on the scheduled day will not be included in the book. No make-up session will be scheduled. Any persons who jump into the photo of a group that they are not a part of will be fined the cost of taking a new photograph or removing their image from the photo. All group members arrange in horizontal rows as tightly as possible. Special seating arrangements or props are not allowed for yearbook group photos. Uniforms are acceptable. Any group not conforming to these guidelines may not be shown in the yearbook. Name Spelling Policy Student and school employee names will be spelled as they appear in school records for portrait identifications in the mug sections and for the index. Variation on names will be acceptable for any other book copy in any section. Obituary Policy Should a student and/or school personnel die any time during the current coverage period, the staff will treat the death in a tasteful, respectful manner. The portrait of that individual will appear as it would under normal circumstances. This uncommanding treatment will provide adequate memory of the individual for those closely associated while not overemphasizing it for the other readers. If an individual was never given the opportunity to have his/her portrait taken, then an attempt will be made by the editor and/or adviser to locate one. Memorial/remembrance pages may be placed only in the ads section of the book and will include a 4 box donation from the yearbook staff. Any group of persons wishing to enlarge the memorial area will have to provide the difference of funds, however the ad may not exceed one full page. Any designs or text submitted to the yearbook staff for publication must be tasteful and appropriate. Book Sales Policy The price of the Behemoth is $57. The Behemoth staff reserves the right to raise costs due to production prices increasing and also reserves the right to end sales of the book any time throughout the production year. Exchanges can be made for books with minor flaws if no writing has been made in the book. If a book has been written in, then no exchange can be made unless the adviser feels the flaw in the book is of major proportion (pages missing, pages in upside down). It will be the responsibility of the buyer to provide proof-of-purchase if no record can be provided by the staff. A valid receipt from the front office will provide sufficient proof-of-purchase. Advertising Policy All advertising accepted by the staff must meet the same guidelines as editorial content. Acceptance of advertising does not constitute an endorsement by the school, the staff as a whole, or its individual members. Students who appear in advertising must sign a model release form acknowledging that they will accept no monetary compensation from the client and their appearance is one of support for the yearbook rather than the business or professional. Advertising programs and rates are specifically detailed in the business managers job materials. Ads will be sold to parents of seniors, Skyline students and to businesses. Patrons and sponsor ads may also be sold. Marketing the Yearbook The yearbook staff may use the school website to sell the yearbook. Post flyers, post notes on the lockers of students who have not yet purchased a book. Classroom Expectations: Respect everyone. Attendance: Be here for class. If youre not, find out what you missed. You are still responsible for your deadline. It is expected that any staff member, if possible, informs Page Editor, editors, or adviser prior to absence so that they may plan accordingly. Tardy Detention: As posted in the room. Leaving the room. Please keep to a minimum. Take care of necessities before class. When it is necessary to leave the room, fill out the check-out sheet and inform Page Editor. Printing copy-written material or accessing on the computer or printing obscene material: Dont: if you want to graduate before you are 90 years old. This is a non-negotiable removal from class for the term. Clean Up: Do it. Do a thorough job. Dont complain. A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E: Maintain a good one. Deadlines: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Dont miss any! Student Supplies: The following are essential for class, and are to be provided by the student daily: Three-ring notebook. This can be a soft-covered variety of at least 1-inch capacity. You may use an old recycled one and redecorate it if you want. (Pocket-type paper folders are okay but will be harder for you to maintain.) Yearbook Terms Layout: arrangement of pictures and text on a page Double Page Spread (DPS): two pages, left page is always the even number Pica: the measurement of the book (it is one block) there are 6 picas to an inch Theme: a word or phrase to tie the book together Trap Text: text that has a picture on three or more sides Headline: the title, larger text size than everything else, and a different font, should grab the readers attention and make them want to read the story Sub-headline: secondary headline, used to explain the main heading, a smaller size and different font Copy: this is another word for text or story Pictures: self explanatory, however all layouts need to have between 12 & 15 photos on a DPS Crop: used to change the size of the photo and still keep it in proportion. SECTION THREE: Contents of the Book Design Elements Basic Design Elements Photos & captions Headlines & stories Graphics & white space Color use Basic Design Guidelines Content-sensitive Column structure & spread linkage Dominance & photo variety Consistent inner spacing & external margins Logical copy placement Purposeful graphic enhancements Mini-layouts Preliminary sketches Design mock-ups Final layouts (on the computer) Printer submission Special instructions Graphic Details Strengthen basic design Enhance deserving content elements Develop theme & section personality Give yearbook a one-of-a-kind attitude Unify or separate Emphasize or de-emphasize Fit within the budget for the book Graphic Techniques Lines Tints Art screens Art/illustrations Typography Second (spot) color Process color Mini-Columns Grid design is content motivated Increase photo size Copy width possibilities Isolates, frames, showcases deserving content Consistent column width for headlines, story copy, captions Smaller width copy will be set unjustified Scatter Story Design Offers content variety, stronger coverage Quick reads replace single story copy block More, but smaller photos expand coverage potential Pays close attention to design basics column structure, spread linkage, focal point, consistent margins, careful copy placement, purposeful graphics  Design To Keep your Readers Attention Design and graphics provide the yearbook staff with tools and techniques to strategize layouts that will not only capture, but also keep readers actively involved in the story being told. At the end of this exercise, you will have completed the section theme decision with your section mini-team, and rough sketches for your double-page spread. Step 1 Know what section your pages are in. If youre not sure, check the page ladder. Each section team should have a written theme idea, along with several ideas of how that theme can be developed within the section. The section themes tie into the overall yearbook theme. Know how your double-page spread relates to the section and the theme. Step 2 Choose a magazine or other idea to integrate/adapt into your design. It could be a headline format, copy or photo treatment, graphic technique, color scheme, or some other cool idea. Step 3 Using your content and magazine ideas, draw the design on the front of a mini-layout sheet, showing the proportions of type to pictures, the basic picture shapes, etc. Labels the photos (numbers) and the text (letters); dont forget the folio. Step 4 Then on the back of the mini-layout sheet, mock up the design with magazine clipping of photos and text (photos & text do not have to reflect spread topic, nor does the type need to make sense, but it should be proportionate in sizing since this is for design purposes.) Step 5 In the headline space on the front of your mini-layout (the pencil-sketched side) write in an actual headline for the topic of your spread. Make it so good you will want to use it in the yearbook. Step 6 Describe the specific photo ideas that will illustrate your topic in each of the photo areas of your pencil-sketch layout. Step 7 Show your layout to your section leader, discuss ideas, and get final approval. Step 8 Discuss the photos with the photographer on your section team and prepare the photo request slips. Step 9 Complete the spread envelope information sheet, and place all sketches and notes in the envelope. Step 10 Following steps in the Reporting & Writing handout, complete the writing for your spread. Be sure you save the latest copy of your layout on the disk in the DPS envelope. Step 11 Once your layout is completed on the computer, spell checked, edited, names are put in the black book, etc., and photos are chosen, labeled, and cropped, print out a 75% proof and give your DPS envelope to your editor for final proofing. Step 12 After all corrections have been made, checked and approved, save the copy on the disk in the DPS envelope. Then save a copy of the final layout in the deadline folder for shipping to the plant. BE SURE YOU PRINT OUT A 75% PROOF FROM THE FILE. This insures that the right version is going to the plant. CELEBRATE! You have completed your DPS. Some Design Specifics Design content with facing pages as a single design unit either as a single-subject double- page spread or as a multi-subject single pages linked together visually as a double-page spread. Column structure depends on the content needs of the spread. Base the number of columns on how content could best be presented. Eye Line can first be established with the creation of a horizontal eyeline slightly above or below the center of the spread. Other linkage options include photo bleeds across the gutter and graphics. Dominance usually is created with a photo that is obviously larger and more exciting than other elements on the spread. However, other content (headline, artwork, etc.) can be the focal point of the spread if it deserves premium attention. Photo variety results with the placement of 7-14 photos of different rectangular sizes and shapes including verticals, horizontals, and squares. Inner and external margins are established and maintained with one pica of spacing between all elements and careful attention to top, side, and bottom margins. Plan all white space for the outside corners of the spread. Photo bleeds extend completely through the external margins to the trim line of the spread and create a stronger dominance or informal balance in opposite corners. Copy placement is logically placed to the outside corners of the spread with headlines and stories creating modular units and captions touching the photos they complement. 3 Keys to complete Stories Time Attention Persistence Story Idea Angles: People For every story idea in the yearbook, there are numerous angles that can give the idea a distinctiveness. Just as a theme gives your yearbook its personality, the angle to a story gives the spread its own character. As you plan, decide on an angle for each story idea. People Ideas: roles at home, class rings, favorite foods, music, dream car, heroes, music preferences, hobbies, collections, community involvement, learning to drive, class projects, movies, television, books, future dreams, embarrassing moments, good luck charms, late night routines, telephone use, interesting names Story Idea Angles-ACADEMICS For every story idea in the yearbook, there are numerous angles that can give the idea a distinctiveness. Just as a theme gives your yearbook its personality, the angle to a story gives the spread its own character. As you plan, decide in an angle for each story idea. Academics Ideas: class discussions, computers, performances, writing & reading assignments, lab experiments, class distractions, substitute teachers, homework, teaching strategies, memorization techniques, rewards, punishments, report cards, pretend experiences, new courses, vocational opportunities, procrastination Story Idea Angles-STUDENT LIFE For every story in the yearbook, there are numerous angles that can give the idea a distinctiveness. For example, a student life story on morning routines could be approached be the times that readers get up, how they decide what to wear, what they have for breakfast, and so on. Just as a theme gives your yearbook its personality, the angle to a story gives the spread its own character. As you plan, decide on an angle for each story idea. Student Life Ideas: getting to school, between classes, lunch routines, weekends, fads, fashions, hangouts, bedrooms, entertainment, jobs, summer, leisure activities, relationships, assemblies, cars, birthdays, teen issues, shopping, volunteer work Story Idea Angles-SPORTS For every story idea in the yearbook, there are numerous angles that can give the idea a distinctiveness. The primary reader of the sports page is the athlete. Write for them. Show whats happening in the picture, Dont TELL!! Things to Remember: Avoid Cliches, Jock-Talk Use the Drama of sports Dont do game stories, or write the obvious KNOW THE TEAM Sports Ideas: season coverage, practices, injuries teamwork, tryouts, equipment, facilities, locker room talk, media coverage, fan support, coaching strategies, team leadership, pre-game, halftime, winning, losing, weather conditions, pep rallies, off-season training, uniforms, rituals, superstitions, pressure, super fans, parents.

This is a two sentence caption with relative details. The first sentence has the 5 Ws & H and is past tense. The second sentence is past tense and supplies the information of the rest of the caption. Photography Photos Print quality good Composition good Prints identified by photographer Group photos: heads one pica minimum Negatives and prints filed Photo credit given Action/Reaction: have the photo tell a story Illustrative Content tells an action or reaction story establishes relationships Composition Concerns vertical/horizontal considerations variety in number of subjects and content dominance & subordination Technical Quality Sharp focus means crisp, clear images without distracting blur. Good contrast is when a print has black tones with shadows and detail with whites being the first discernible shade of gray Skillful Editing Selection: work closely with photographers to choose the best photo Cropping: eliminate unwanted areas Proportioning: enlarge or reduce a photo to fit a space proportionately practical, efficient processes Captions Follow set guidelines (kicker, bold print) Up to five people: first name/last name and position 5 Ws and H At least 2 sentences (no less than Level 4 captions) Artistic Techniques Leading lines are real or imaginary lines that lead to the dominant element Repetitive lines & texture provide interesting fore- and backgrounds that create pleasing repetition. Creative framing is the technique in which the dominant element is framed by other objects or people Unique angles constitute the physical perspective from which the photo is taken and can create a dramatic impact Selective focus places the dominant subjects of the photo into sharp focus with the subordinate areas of the photo soft focus Rule of thirds divides the photograph into thirds both vertically and horizontally so the main subject falls into of the intersecting points Eye flow is when elements in the photo lead the eye smoothly through all parts of the photo Shutter speed length of time your film is exposed, the higher the shutter speed, the smaller the length of time your film is exposedSome Photography Specifics Take action or reaction photographs rather than posed snapshots to create more spontaneous and realistic coverage. Avoid shots in which subjects look at the camera unless they capture an emotion representative of the activity or event. They lessen storytelling impact if they are simply smile-at-the-camera shots. ID people at the shoot site by getting names and correct spellings in your photographers notebook. Number-code photos for the spread making sure that numbers on the layout corresponds with the number on the photo stickers. Photo stickers are of two kinds: large, front-facing for all photos to be reprinted in black and white and small stickers for the backs of photos to be printed in color and all portrait pictures. Be careful not to emboss the photo- write in BLACK permanent, fine-point marker. Portrait pictures should be bundled face-to-face and back-to-back to avoid smudging in any of the prints with ink or pencil marks from the photo stickers. Group pictures should be cropped just above the heads of the top/back row and no higher than waists of the bottom/front row. As best possible, maintain a consistent head size from one group shot to the next. An ideal head size for group shots is the one pica minimum. Color photos should be colorful. When planning and taking photos for color pages in the bookthink colorful! Color submission requires that photos be submitted carefully and according to a specific set of guidelines. Know the guidelines for your yearbook program and follow them. For each double page spread conceive 2 dominant photo ideas and 10-12 secondary photo concepts.
