They also designed their respective nameplates.

The teams were given only four hours from conceptualization of the newsletter up to printing.

The teams used Adobe InDesign to come up with the newsletter layout. It was the first time that the students used the software for publishing. Mr. Ernesto U. Guillermo, Jr., the HS Academic Chair, gave an orientation and intensive training for the publishing teams, both on the use of the software and on the principles of layouting.
