Recently, I have been working on the yearbook pages for Natalie's class. It really brings me back to my high school days when I was the yearbook editor. This yearbook, however, is done entirely old-school paste-up style, so I had to cut and paste every thing by hand. I'm surprised they haven't gone digital yet. Back in high school we did a combination of digital and paste-up. Then as a journalism major our copy was printed out and pasted up and our photos were transformed into pmt's (photo mechanical transfers) in order to produce the correct line screen for quality print resolution. Then when I was a graphic design major, everything we output was digital. Anyway, enough technical mumbo jumbo. The deadline for these pages is tomorrow and I look forward to turning them in and getting a load off my mind.

Great job Alyssa, looks good!
Sounds like a lot of work though.
I STILL don't know how you do it all, and you do it all so well!!!
You haven't seen my house lately...aggghhhh!
Good work on Natalie's class pics. I am amazed at how old school it still is. Old school for grade school (or kindergarten)
