i would love to show you

what i've been working on all afternoon, but i honestly think it would spoil the surprise and personally the older i get the more i really like surprises. on thursday, the cover of the 2009-2010 welch elementary yearbook was chosen. since i'm the yearbook chairperson i headed up the cover contest which was based on the pta theme "join the team!" i was so excited because we had 35 entries and there was a winner chosen from each grade level...yeah! it's funny because as i make my way through this learning process i'm finding ways to improve for next year (if i decide to do it again.) the "best of" winner will be featured on the front cover and then the other winners will find their place on the back cover. today has been so much fun working on the layout for the book. i'd forgotten how long it took between scanning the artwork in to just building the finished product. talk about getting back in the groove, this yearbook is probably this best thing that could have happened to me. i'm definitely gaining my confidence back since leaving the graphic design field about six years ago. talk about time flying.
