Technology+in+Yearbook

Yearbook is a class that is centered squarely in technology. PHSC's yearbook students use industry standard software such as InDesign CS5 and Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop Elements 8 to layout and design our yearbook, the //Picktonian//. Students use digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras and their own cameras to capture school related events. We have both Nikon and Canon DSLRs, so students can experience which manufacturer they may prefer.
