Creating a Year book with Lifetouch Program

As a future art teacher, I anticipate that I will someday be apart of designing a year book for the school I work at. At my high school growing up, there was a class specifically for designing and creating the year book. The students would use photoshop and illustrator, and the class was instructed by the graphic design teacher. The book took all year to make, and I unfortunately was not apart of that process. But after receiving my yearbook, much like other people, I was blown away by the amount of work that went into the book. Book making, and lay out design are all important aspects of art making, and these types of projects are important to be introduced to students in high school, because in the working world, many jobs in the art field mimic the process of designing a year books. It is smart to expose these students to this now, to prepare them for projects they will face in the future. This video from youtube offers info about a company called Lifetouch, and goes into details of how to use the program in designing a year book. I especially found the video interesting from an art education standpoint  around 1:59, when they discuss page layouts. Tools like this must be utilized, and are great features that come along with working in the new age of technology. make a year book!
