Course Description

This introductory course will immerse students in editorial
design, photojournalism, and publishing. The class is the core
team producing the annual upper school yearbook, Gateway.
Students will learn the basics of photography, photo filtering
and editing, graphic design, and layout design through use of
the Adobe Creative Suite. They will also learn caption and copy
writing, as well as become familiar with the workflow involved in
publishing. Creating the yearbook is a rewarding and collaborative
experience between editors, members, and the broader school
community. Students are often called upon to help document
events happening throughout the school. The publication seeks
students of all interests, capabilities, and personalities to add to a
comprehensive, creative, and professional annual.
