If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Key at school or email the PTA yearbook committee . Also, be sure to check out the school webpage for more information.
Tips to create the best artwork to be used for the cover:
- Make sure all words are visible. DO NOT color over words. DO trace over words with a dark marker.
- Use RICH colors. The more color depth and contrast in your artwork, the better the cover will look. (Tip: Certain colors like navy blue and dark green do not work well when placed next to each other.)
- Thick lines are best for outlining words and objects. If pencil lines are easily visible, we cannot use the image. (Tip: Try doing a sample picture first and then make a final draft, so that no pencil marks are visible.)
