When you get your yearbook, you probably don’t think about where it comes from or who designs it. In Yearbook class, there are primarily four designers, and all of the pages get divided among them so they can make a design for it. Designers arguably have the most challenging job in the yearbook, once they receive the information, they need to make it all fit and make the page look good, and fill in the holes in the page.
Sadie Slater: “Choosing the design for the yearbook is a lot of work, you need to think of all of the possibilities and try to make it likable.”Isabella Meade: “I like coming up with new different ideas. It feels good to have control of how the yearbook turns out.”Maya Samuel: “I like designing because I get to use my creative freedom.”Kaylee Schwartz: “It’s hard to get each page to look different, but still look good. It was nice to have a voice in the yearbook.”
Sadie Slater is in eighth grade and a design editor for the yearbook. She has been on the yearbook staff for the past two years and has attended Camp Orlando twice and Elite Weekend once. Even though she specializes in designing, she enjoys writing and photography, too. Sadie spent time over the summer choosing the colors and fonts for the yearbook’s theme so we could get a head start on design.
