ACHIEVING CONSISTENCY WITH FILE MANAGEMENT AND FONTS

Stick to your file management system and a few fonts for a less stressful yearbook experience. Technology is great, but it can also work against you. Files can be misplaced, lost, garbled or written over. Fonts can create printing issues. However, with planning, technology can be your best friend when it comes to organization. File management Every year many yearbook advisers and staffs become stressed because their image files and pages have been misfiled. Good file management begins with the development of a sound filing strategy and then having every staff member use it consistently. In the case of yearbook development, file management refers to the process of saving and organizing documents such as page files, digital image files and graphic files. If you will be submitting pages to Walsworth using any graphics other than those found in the Walsworth ClikArt catalog, or if you place photos from a digital camera or scanner, you need to submit those files along with your page files. This is the point where good file management becomes critical. As a recommendation and a time saver for advisers and staff, use the WPCYB folder structure, located with the Enhancements in Support Download.
