I have been thinking a lot recently about what classes I want to take next year, and even my junior and senior year. I am serious about wanting to become a photographer, so planning what classes to take is very important to me. So far, my idea is to take Commercial Photography next year. This way I can start to learn about more types of photography, learn how to take them really well, and I can learn how to get my work out there to become a photographer. Then, my junior year I plan on taking Advanced Commercial Photography, to learn as much as I can. My senior year, I want to be in Newspaper. I chose Newspaper over Yearbook because Newspapers are in the real world, not just in schools. When I graduate, one way I plan on getting my work out into the world, is to apply for newspaper companies in Austin. So taking Newspaper would help me to get ready for that and already know a lot about what it's like to be on a newspaper team.
I think that this is the best plan for me, to take Commercial Photography before I take Newspaper because then I can apply and use what I've learned in Commercial Photography to Newspaper, and then later in the real world to jump start my career as a photographer.
Yearbook Spread...

| I like this spread the most, because it's very simple, and the colors are not too distracting to take away from the photos and the captions. I also like the colors in general, I think green is a good color to use. The spread is a little bit too business themed, but I think that this is a good general idea for a yearbook spread. |
Newspaper...

I chose this online newspaper from Arvada West High School in Colorado. I like the colors they used, I like the simplicity, and I really like the name of their newspaper. The majority of the other schools name their newspaper after their school's mascot, and that is totally fine, but I like how they were original with their name of their newspaper. Arvada West High School are the Wildcats, so they still stuck with the "W" but they named it differently, and I like that.
