REGIONAL WORKSHOPS

When you think of the traditional Yearbook camp, you probably think of a lot of theme planning and designing and that mad rush to finish the overwhelming theme project. Yearbook YOUniversity GOES BEYOND the outdated summer camp format and and the old school requirements. We are going build a great foundation, concentrating on some thoughtful ladder planning, deadline planning, and goal setting. We will spend time focusing on running a profitable program by crafting marketing, advertising, and fundraising campaigns with new and creative ideas and mapping them out on calendars so we are prepared for them. We will also develop a design plan with a fully developed theme, cover art, style guide, and your students will still be put to the test with a challenging project, but one that has been revamped to set your year up for success....and hopefully send you home with a G.O.A.T. Award. Beyond our Yearbook Training Track, we would love you to join us for the Photography Track with trainer Mark Murray. Mark will GO BEYOND the basic composition discussions and will challenge your photographers to try new things, to sharpen their technical skills, and to tell true stories through photographs. I'm so excited to have you join us for a unique, challenging and fun training experience this summer! Though some things have been revamped, many things remain the same...a lot of fun, like-minded students together for one purpose, amazing snacks, and of course, the Wacky Olympics. See you in June!

This workshop will provide your yearbook staff the opportunity to hone their creative and journalistic skills, while establishing the foundations of the 2023-2024 yearbook. We will discuss theme development and its implementation into the design process, and best practices for covering the unique stories that will unfold at your school this year. Your staff will also get a chance to work directly with one of our super-talented plant artists and bring the yearbook cover to life! Snacks and refreshments provided throughout the day, and lunch is included for all attendees!

Make plans to attend! Start out the year right and bring your staff in for a day devoted entirely to yearbook. Your staff will leave excited and inspired for the new school year. This is a great introduction to the world of yearbook and a great way to get things rolling in the fall. We will be discussing topics including layout, theme development, story telling, photography, interviewing and caption writing. In addition to the instruction you can also sign up for cover design session with one of our amazing graphic artists. Bring your ideas and together we will work on sketching out your cover and theme elements.
