What's Happening: 10.28.10

Deadline is Friday. Your photos have been fixed. DO NOT do anything else with the photos that are on your spreads.

Tomorrow is Friday! Don't forget to wear your staff shirt (Got Yearbook?). If you don't have a staff shirt, wear school colors since it's also distribution day for the newspaper.

ASSIGNMENT: Please complete the first quarter reflection by clicking on this link. No one sees this but Wojo. Please be honest in your assessment of your progress this quarter. This is due no later than 5 pm on Friday. It's a reflection, but you also get points for completing it.

Uncensored from Cathie:

Due to the fiasco yesterday, I have a couple things to say..
  1. DO NOT. I repeat DO NOT do cutouts for your spread IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO THEM. Meaning.. EVERYBODY except staff veterans. People have been saving over original files, leaving no room for us to save a bad cut out.  Also, it's just wasting time if we have to come after you and try to clean up a cutout that should have been done right the first time.
  2. No files other than JPEG/JPG and PSD files are allowed.
  3. If you happen to reorganize your photos, RELINK THEM ON YOUR SPREAD!
  4. DO NOT SCREEN PHOTOS THAT ARE NOT YOURS! Meaning, do not go through photos that you DID NOT take and delete them, rename them, move them etc. Photos have been missing and moved around, and we (as in editors) have to take time to find the file due to unnecessary alterations.
  5. DO NOT use point and shoot cameras, meaning non-DSLRs for your photos. (Unless otherwise approved) I don't want to have to deal with this again.
  6. Don't know how to use a camera? NOTIFY ME OR A PHOTOGRAPHER AHEAD OF TIME. Don't check out a camera if you're even slightly doubting that you don't know how to use it.
  7. A PERIOD: You should be here until 8:12. A handful of you have been leaving early.
WHEN AN EDITOR TELLS YOU TO DO SOMETHING... we expect you to do it. Editors + Wojo have the last word. PERIOD. Don't change something we've put on your spread
