This exercise is intended to generate a class yearbook, and along the way, illustrate some important principals of good HCI design. The hope is that the yearbook helps students get a sense of who they might want to work with for the term project.

Note that there are no right or wrong answers (well, almost, anyway).

You will have the opportunity to review and revise your submission.

As you complete the form, can you identify helpful and problematic elements of the interface?
