Match Makers

For the month of love, which is coming up in about 3 more days people prepare the best for their partners. For example my uncle married his wife about 4 years ago in February 14Th. In my opinion i think is very romantic that their anniversary is in the month of love. They are a very happy family, in the other hand there are families that are not as happy and the month of love bring them very sad memories. For some families is a time to celebrate, for others is time to move on.

How do you use captions

The first yearbook page that i am working on is the "Table of Contents". I will not be using pictures, or i am but it will have to do with the sections that are in it. IE. Sports, i will be having a picture of a team in our school. At the right hand side i will have the word "iVoice" which is our theme for this years' portfolio. I will also be having the school's colors, green and white. The text will be black, because it stands out the most. I am getting my ideas from a book that the teacher provided me, and just making it my own. I will not be using the black and white hallway picture because, in my opinion to be the first page it sounds a little boring and that is not what Leadership is all about.

Money Matters

Money matters at all times. It has been a year that i started working because i was tired of always depending on my parents. I decided to do things on my own. But before that i would always ask my mom after she received her pay check. That's how i would get my money. But i don't ask my friends for money. It is actually fun to work because is exciting to get the paycheck. And my job at the museum is fun so I'm ok with it.

Yearbook Timeline

My first yearbook page is "The table of Contents". I have a pretty good idea of what i want to do. My idea is to make it similar to the cover of the yearbook, that means i have to work with the person in charge of that, to make sure i have the same theme. I have been searching for better ideas to create a very interesting table of contents. I'm pretty sure that in three classes i will be able to finish it.

Taking Advantage

I take advantage of Leadership, when i use my hall passes. Every time i ask to go to the bathroom i always go to the water fountain and the bathroom, which takes more then five minutes. Is not a big thing, but we only get two passes a quarter and is not enough. I don't take advantage of teachers though, i think is disrespectful, in a way. However it all depends what kind of advantage it is. When is about learning something new, then i pay attention and take advantage of that time. Thinking that i will ot have another chance to learn it.

Web Design Elements

My favorite websites are www.yahoo.com, www.google.com and www.wetseal.com. It looks like they used the "3, 5th rule" and "C.R.A.P" these rules make the website interesting to look up all the time. The use of color for example makes the website fun to look at, the different colors they use gets attention from anyone. But a simple page like google also gets attention because colors are not always a thing that will take someone's attention, but the alignment they use. The alignment makes the websites easier for the visitors to find what they are looking for. Is not confusing.

For our yearbook, two things that are important are color and alignment, because it makes it fun to look at and the mood does not change. After a while of looking at it you're still focus the same way you started.
