21st Century Yearbook Design and Publication is a year-long project-based course designed to have students create publication mediums that directly impact society and its various cultures, through visual art and design. Students will use creativity and the artistic process of creating layouts and designs to put together and publish the yearbook. The designer (student) will prove their awareness of their target audience while maintaining the integrity of their design, photographs, edits, and written work. Designers will then edit other student's work for content, design, originality, and ethics. They will collaborate to effectively create and deliver a finished product and create their own portfolio that can be used for college and career opportunities.

Additional Expectations: Students are required to meet external production deadlines, sell $400 in business ads for Vanguard, and invest one to two hours per week of lab time, especially during press week.
