yearbook introduction

1. The yearbook that I looked at is called Identity.
2. It is from Aberdeen High School.
3. There are not very many thematic elements in this yearbook, the fonts and colors schemes change. The ones that are evident though are that somethings are in color and some black and white, the photos are in these rectangular boxes, and there's a lot of this one ugly font.
4. In my book, there are like five sections of student photos, and then the rest are just photos and articles about student life. It switches between the two about five times. 
5. My favorite spread is called "Cut Off" on page 26.
6. There is an index at the end of the yearbook.
7. There are photos of groups of people. Not really clubs, just groups of friends and what they do on the weekend or whatever. When there is a spread of a club or something it seems to be only one person mentioned or photographed.
8. There is a small table of context on the second page at the beginning. Very minimal. 
9. There are about one thousand people that went to that school that year.
10. This yearbook is from Aberdeen, Washington.
