Page "Yearbook" Paragraph 36

In the past, most yearbooks were laid out by hand, with photographs physically cropped and placed on layout boards.

The work was tedious, and required multiple deadlines and contact with a yearbook publisher.

Today, virtually all yearbooks are published using computers, which allows for shorter deadlines and easier editing.

Some yearbook publishers have agreements with schools, whereby the staff send photos and copy for layout by the publishing company ; the layout is later sent to the school for final editing.
