Roles Within YB Club

Photography

One of the most compelling aspects of any yearbook is the pictures. They give us a glimpse of what life was like back in high school. While professional photographers are used for student and group portraits, Yearbook Club members will be asked to take and contribute candid photographs from student events or from everyday student life. This position might require you to be present at school sports events or performances to take photos, and have the opportunity to edit photos before they are put into the yearbook.

Design

The way that a yearbook is laid out is very important.  Design editors typically use Photoshop, inDesign, and other software applications to arrange the photos, text, interviews, and any graphics in the yearbook in a well-organized, visually appealing way. If you want to help make decisions about the yearbook’s appearance, you should think about joining the design team.

Writing

In Yearbook Club, writers will usually determine the titles and headers, as well as writing introductory text for different sections of the yearbook. If writing is your passion, this might be a great way to gain some publishing and editorial experience!

Business & marketing

Students who work on business and marketing for the yearbook are usually involved with selling the yearbook ad space to local businesses. These students will probably also work on marketing the yearbook and selling to other students, as well as keeping track of funds for the club.
