This is going to look like information overload...but these are the notes from my yearbook conference. I am going to go over everything in order during Fred Friday! Photography Info: -ReplayIt App should be up and running in the next 7-10 days! -ReplayIt Inbox - when pictures are used, it sends an email to the person who uploads the pictures and tells them it is in the book...and sends them a link to buy the book if they haven't yet! -Video can be added into the ReplayIt...then...HPReveal App will link a picture in our yearbook to the video! Instructions would need to be provided in the beginning of the book so everyone would know - but also we would need to figure out a way to show that the picture has video component. Cover Info: -Classic vs Illustrative - SO MANY OPTIONS -Reminder: Cover design day is Oct. 11 - Coming Soon! Prepare your ideas. These ideas/final thoughts will need to be sent to Fred a few days in advance. -Plan...Creative Ideas...Cover Options OR Cover Upgrades in packet. $$$ Some Section Specific Things: Editors: -Are we doing Senior Quotes? We need to tell them if so! It is already October! (kinda) Hayley: -Create a Senior Portrait Guideline to send to Srs/Parents - with an example picture -Create a form to send home a parent information sheet to get email addresses. People: -Do you want names under each picture or on the side (there are layouts for both)? -Once CD arrives, we need to make sure that all names/grade groupings are CORRECT. Reminders to me: -DO NOT LOAD pictures onto site. Send portrait CD/link to plant. Mailing materials are in the kit. -Create a checklist of Sr. Photos BEFORE Dec. 15 to see who still needs to submit. -Send out Sr. Portrait Guidelines at the END of school year to upcoming Seniors for next year -Alvis - App push? (each campaign) ***Now...go to the notebook...these is more...
