May 12, 2014 Natasha Oakley and Devin Brugman A Bikini A Day 111 W. Harbor Drive San Diego, CA 92101 Dear Natasha Oakley and Devin Brugman: Perhaps A Bikini A Day is seeking to recruit the talent of someone who can operate a camera, work well with others and contribute to the overall success of a business. If this is the case, then please accept the accompanying resume for your review and consideration for the summer internship in which these strengths and previous experience will be of value.

As the Photogaphy Editor of my high school yearbook, I met every deadline, captured amazing photographs at various campus events, gained the ability to utilize Photoshop and InDesign, worked with fellow staffers and assisted in their photography on their pages. With a background in photo and prior camera knowledge, I am able to capture photographs for ABAD that will maximize viewer interest and increase the number of follers and website hits. As a hard worker and determined student, I will assist the company and help with any task assigned.

Creatively, I enjoy brainstorming interesting photography ideas that take into consideration the target audience and incorporate design trends to impact viewers and hits. As a quick learner, I would be a perfect candidate for the summer internship. This position would give me a chance to develop useful skills that will help in pursuing my long-term career goals, as I ultimately want to major in communications and business.

Although the accompanying resume illustrates my background well, I feel a personal interview would better demonstrate my knowledge and abilities. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you at a convenient time.

Thank you for your review and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Respectfully yours,

Madison Nagle Enclosed: resumé

self evaluation ] ] At the end of freshman year, Madeline Trybus told me all about journalism and suggested that I try it out. It sounded just like me, and Maddi and I always love the same things, so I decided to give it a shot. Journalism immediately become my favorite class and Mrs. Burke contributed tremendously to my developing love for photography and writing. After a year in Journalism, I was eager to apply for Yearbook staff. Yearbook quickly became a huge passion of mine and I wouldn’t have wanted to spend my junior year with any other club on campus. The end of junior year rolled around, and I decided to apply for Photography Editor. I was nervous because I knew this would be a huge responsibility, but I was up for the challenge. This year for sure had it’s up and downs but I am so happy to have been a part of such an amazing staff and stupendous publication. The staff is like a family to me. I can honestly say that my best friendships have developed in room 224. I have learned more this year, in this class, than in any other course I have ever taken. Mrs. Burke is the most amazing, talented teacher at Boone and everyone on campus knows it. I learned about actual production skills as I was a part of creating a book that will last a lifetime. I was taught basic rules related to photography, writing and design. My knowledge has grown and progressed over the course of the past two years. I was taught to always stay on track and never get behind. The strict deadline schedule taught me how to manage my time. Teamwork contributed immensely to the production of the book. We all worked together to make sure that everything was perfect.

I would like to think that I was a good team player because I helped other staffers on multiple occasions and always tried to grade pages as quickly as possible. I often took pictures or went on interviews for other staffers. We sold ads for the community section of the book, and this taught me how to act professional and approach businesses. I also learned how to write receipts and file transactions. Journalism ethics played a huge role in my writing this year. I learned not to plagiarize and never to misquote anyone. I was a very dedicated editor this year and I hope that my hard work will allow me to succeed with further goals as I venture onto college. Yearbook is such a valuable course to take.

Mrs. Burke and fellow classmates taught me how to use advanced computer programs, such as InDesign, Photoshop and Bridge, and also taught me how to be a better person.

I also learned great organization and social skills that will ultimately help me in the future as I want to major in Communications and Business.

reflection 1 ] ]

I would consider my fall play deadline to be my most significant piece of work for the publication this year. This deadline was, without a doubt, my most difficult deadline, so I am beyond proud that it turned out to be my best in the end. My purpose for this deadline was to tell the story of the play through my photography. I was nervous to take pictures because I knew it would be hard to capture great shots without using flash. I had to play around with the camera settings a lot, so it ended up being a great learning experience. I am happy with how my pictures turned out. I ended up using almost all of my own pictures on the page. I really love that I was able to capture shots of scenes on stage as well as behind the scenes production.

The drama department had it set up so that there were puppeteers backstage and many people wouldn’t have realized that, but the pictures tell it all. Amelia took care of the copy, as always, but I helped immensely with the interviews and captions. I loved that we could work together and brainstorm lead-ins and captions. It really allowed for a smooth transition from the first draft to the final PDF.

Y21. Photo illustration (page 133) I selected this piece to represent me at the CSPA Gold Circle competition because I feel that it portrays drug abuse amongst high school students and was creatively illustrated.

Y18. Feature photo (page 53) I selected this photograph for the “feature photo” category because it shows the subject in her setting as she performs on stage in the school play. caption: DREAM CATCHER. Arms extended, sophomore Jacqueline Peloso interprets a dream. “At the end of the show when we are doing our bows, looking out in the audience and seeing everyone cheering is indescribable,” Peloso said. This was Peloso’s first time performing in a production.

Y16. Sports feature photo (127) I selected this sports feature photo of Annie Berlinsky to represent my work. She excitedly cheers and gets the crowd pumped.

reflection 3 ] ] After looking back at my previous portfolio, I can see immense growth. Last year I used pictures that I already had on my computer, but this year I went out of my way to go take pictures. I utilized all of the new photography and editing skills that I learned at Camp Orlando and throughout the school year. Thanks to the yearbook program, I have grown not only as a photographer, writer, and designer, but also as a person. Last year I felt that I always needed help and wanted to run everything by an editor or Mrs. Burke. This year I stepped out of my comfort zone as I became an editor myself and had to start calling my own shots. The overall quality of my work is better this year and making every deadline was a lot easier now that I knew what I was doing.

After Edgewater vandalized the stadium’s “Brave Country” sign, senior Delaney Foskett and junior Alexandra King repaint it after school. “I think the Boone-Edgewater rivalry tradition is great. I love all the traditions that go along with it. I just wish it was more in good fun, rather than destructive,” Foskett said. The sign previously read “Home of the Braves,” but Foskett updated it in September.

defeating Edgewater for the second year in a row, the team celebrates its possession of the barrel. “There was an overwhelming sense of pride, not only through me but through the fans, players and coaches,” sophomore Clayton Julian said.

Sometimes I forgot that I cut my hair, and I was confused why everyone was looking at me funny,” junior Matthew Butler said. The football team members shaved each other’s heads into unconventional patterns and styles, including mullets and mohawks.

I selected this unpublished photo to represent my work because it shows great depth of field and gets close and personal with the subject of interest. You can literally see the hair on his face and the complexion of his skin. Although profile, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great creative shot. I went behind stage to capture this photo during the band concert.

I selected this unpublished photo to represent my work because it utilizes leading lines as the girls elongated, stretched out bodies and arms lead to the subject of the picture, the flyer. The facial expression captured is priceless, and the photo truly captures the hard work the cheerleaders put into their skit.

I selected this unpublished photo to represent my work because it captures great action and excitement. It was hard for me to get pictures at this cheer competition because of the lighting and quick performance, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad I got to capture the craziness of the competition in this photograph.
