Course Description
We document the year from the inside and decide how it’s remembered. You’ll learn to notice the moments that define a year and turn them into strong photos, bold layouts, and writing that actually sounds like you.
This class is highly collaborative—your effort matters because the yearbook depends on it.
You’ll build practical skills in photography, design, writing, and creative collaboration, and by the end of the year, you’ll leave with real creative experience and a yearbook that carries this school year into TCC’s legacy.
Class Structure
First semester focuses on photography, graphic design, and yearbook theme development through hands-on projects and guided practice.
Second semester shifts to production: designing spreads, conducting interviews, writing captions and copy, refining layouts, and shaping the final yearbook.
Homework
Most of the work is designed to happen during class time. There will be occasional homework, such as photo assignments, interviews, or some design work, but the goal is to keep the majority of the workload in class whenever possible.
You can expect to spend one hour outside of class, however projects may take more time.
