What is a yearbook?
A yearbook is a printed and published book that captures and commemorates the events, experiences, and memories of a specific year.
Yearbooks are commonly associated with educational institutions, particularly schools and universities, but they can also be created for various other purposes, including family reunions, clubs and organizations, businesses, and communities.
Key characteristics of yearbooks include:
- Photographs: Yearbooks are rich in photographs, featuring images of students, faculty, staff, and important events or milestones that occurred during the year. These photos serve as a visual record of the year’s activities
- Text and Captions: Yearbooks often include descriptive text, captions, and articles that provide context and tell the story of the year. This can include highlights, achievements, quotes, and personal messages from students or members
- Design and Layout: Yearbooks are carefully designed with attention to aesthetics and layout. Design elements, including cover design, typography, and page layout, contribute to the overall look and feel of the yearbook
- Customisation: Yearbooks can be customised to reflect the specific theme, style, or identity of the group or institution they represent. This may include cover artwork, color schemes, and page design
- Distribution: Yearbooks are typically distributed to those who are part of the group or community being represented. In schools, they are often distributed to students and faculty at the end of the academic year
- Archival and Keepsake: Yearbooks are often regarded as keepsakes and are frequently stored and cherished for years to come. They serve as a historical record of the year they represent
