Being mindful of the limitations placed on all of us by COVID-19, we have a new process for submitting senior portraits for the yearbook.
- Lifetouch will be at our school on October 30 and Nov. 2 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. to take a formal senior portrait for the yearbook. There will be no cost to do this, and you will have the option to purchase the photos for your own distribution. After you take your portrait, you will not need to do anything else, as we’ll have a digital file.
- Upload your own: Seniors many have a photo taken by a photographer of your choice, and they will then upload their own portrait to the Jostens portal by Dec. 4, 2020.
Upload to the following site: images.jostens.com; USER ID: 415473956
Plan early and make your photography appointments soon. Any photos submitted after Dec. 4, 2020 or any other failure to adhere to the specifications below will result in rejection of the senior photo, and it will therefore not be used. Should this happen, the Lifetouch photo may be used instead.
Photo consistency is essential to the professional appearance of the senior pages. If you are having a photographer take your photo, please take this letter to your photographer to ensure that your photo meets our specifications. Photos must meet all requirements below:
- Photo size: Minimum 2.5” W x 3.5”H. Overall portrait shape needs to be vertical format and not horizontal.
- Background: NO props, NO hats, NO hands near face and NO lights highlighting the back of your head.
- Resolution: Minimum 300 dpi (anything smaller may result in a poor-quality printed image and will not be accepted.)
- File format: JPEG file format only. NO TIFFS or PNG files allowed for senior portraits. Very important!
- Submission: Upload all Hopkins High School senior portraits online at https://images.jostens.com/415473956 by Dec. 4, 2020.
If you submit your own photo, you will be asked to provide the following information:
- Parent or photographer contact information
- Correct spelling of first and last name of student and correct grade identification
- Label the photo “Senior Portrait” in the description field
