My senior yearbook comes tomorrow! I'm really excited because I put tons and tons of hours into getting it right. Lol, it's taken 3 years, but I finally managed to convince the teacher and the rest of the class that a consistant theme is necessary and that templates are your friends!
I can't wait! It should be an awesome book, from any point of view, especially graphic design. My sophomore year's book was a nightmare! We were missing names on sports pages, there were no captions, there was no writing at all! It was insane, it was completely hodgepodge and ridiculous. Last year we got a theme partially through with some constant graphic elements so it was better.
But this year, yeah baby. Theme, captions, design elements, write-up, photos, table of contents, index, diecut, it's all there!
Anyway, I just had to say something before I burst!
(Oh, and I spent hours and hours compiling a Digital CD to go along with it. It's just photos, but it browses like a website, see this thread.)
Yearbook (well the Jostens summer camp actually) is really what got me into designing and photography. It has helped me so much in learning how to graphically please the eye with composition.

| Despite all the wonderful things about the digital world, there's nothing quite like having a thing you can hold in your hands to really prove you did all that hard work. Congratulations! |

Congratulations!!! The moment you actually hold your yearbook in your hands makes all the hours (days :)) of work you put into it really worthwhile, doesn't it? Back in high-school I was the yearbook's editor-in-chief as well, and I had to go through pretty much the same things you did (i.e. the whole (looong) process of trying to get the yearbook in shape). Our plans to create a CD that'd go along with the yearbook didn't work out.
Well done! |

Congrats on the yearbook and on Graduation! :)
I was on my High School Yearbook Committee. It is one of the things that introduced me to Photography and I really enjoyed the design part of it too. |

Grrr...it's not here. It was supposed to be here Tuesday. Then they said, no, Thursday. So, it's not here yet...

It had to be rebound or something cause they messed it up. -_- So, it will arrive on Monday, but guess what...all of us seniors are going white water rafting and won't get it until Thursday! We were supposed to be able to take it with us on the the trip but no... Bah, I was hoping to see it before anyone else. I hate when people go "Oh it's so awesome" when you haven't seen it yet...
*sighs*
At least we got the CDs done and are selling them for $2 at lunch. So far I've only heard good things.
