HOMEWORK: YEARBOOK COVER DESIGN Create a horizontal 10.5” x16” yearbook cover design that encompasses what it

means to be a student at Sudbrook. Think about imagery that will communicate the experiences of all students here, and what a yearbook represents as a part of school culture. The cover may be a combination of media, as long as they are professionally used and the composition is carefully considered.

Complete criteria1 & 2 by the in-progress deadline, and use feedback received at the in-progress deadline to complete criteria 3-9. When finished, please grade yourself and include this rubric with your finished cover design:

RATINGS: 0=Not at all 1=Barely 2=Sort of 3=Mostly 4=Definitely
