Periods 1 & 4
Good morning photographers, hope all is well for you today! As I said yesterday, I am with senators for the AR event today. Today I would like you to vote. Please pay attention or your vote will not count!!! 
  1. Tear off a slip of paper
  2. Write 1-3 on the paper
  3. Beside 1. write the number of your favorite 
  4. Beside 2 write the number of you second favorite
  5. Do the same for your third choice
  6. Place your vote in the cup

I will post the results here after school today so please check back so you know going into the Photoshop final tomorrow. By the way, I have posted a list of topics that you may want to review for tomorrow on the board in 418.

Once you've voted, continue to work on your calendar. We have talked about the front cover, the back cover and all the months. Once it's all done, export the pages and make a proof sheet for it. This page has both a video and a handout that will explain how to do it. You need to make a proof sheet even if you don't plan to print your calendar. So once it's complete, please follow these steps to make a proof. Aside from voting and proofing, I have nothing new for you today. Have a great day!

Dang, you guys made this quite a close race!!! I can't think of a time that the totals were so close! How close was it? Well out of 325 total points, first place only had 24 of them. That's how evenly spread out the votes were! 10 points separated first place from tenth. This speaks volumes about how good you all are as photographers. You should all be very proud of yourselves! So, without any further delay, the results... There was a tie for sixth place.  Myah and Anaiyah both had 16 points. Addi took 5th with 17 points. All three will start the final with an extra 12 points of extra credit. Lauren's photo was fourth with 20 votes while Sam tied her with 20 as well. All three will get to pick which part of the final they take. Second place with 22 votes was Izzy's butterfly while Alli's kittens won with 24 points. Izzy and Alli will not have to take any of the final. Congratulations to the winners!
