Portrait Specifications

The goal of the Green Lake School Yearbook is to have the student’s face as the focus of the picture, as well as to keep a unified look amongst the senior portraits. Therefore, we would appreciate your support of the following requirements for senior pictures submitted for the yearbook.

Photo Specifications

Senior photos submitted to the yearbook must be:

Headshot only (ribcage up)… No props, friends, hats, hoods, pets, etc. in photo (if you would like to include a full body pose, your family is welcome to purchase a Grad Ad in the yearbook. Details for Grad Ads will be sent home at a later date).
Must be In color
Minimum 2.25” wide, 3” height, and 300 dpi preferred.
Attire must follow school handbook dress code

Digital File Format

300DPI
width 2.25” height 3”
file format type: JPEG or JPG

NOTE: You cannot save photos into Word, Docs, Photoshop, tiff, gif, or PDF file formats.

The yearbook staff reserves the right to not use a photo that does not meet these requirements and substitute the image provided by the school photographer.

PHOTO SUBMISSIONS HAVE A SET DEADLINE THAT WILL BE ANNOUNCED AT THE START OF EACH SCHOOL YEAR. This is usually around late November/December.

LATE SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED and your ID photo will be used as your portrait.

Note: It is not required to have a professional take your senior portrait. School pictures taken at the beginning of the school year can be used in our Yearbook. If you do not submit a photo, or your submitted photo does not meet the outlined specifications above, the photo taken at the beginning of the year by the school photographer will be used. You may also schedule a time with Mrs. Chetto and a Yearbook staff member and we will be happy to take your portrait for you.
