Yearbook Terminology
Across
- 2. is a line (or lines) of large type used to introduce the most important fact to the reader.
- 5. photos that are captured without posing your subjects or distracting them from what they’re doing. They’re great for capturing everyday aspects of school life.
- 6. is the space between lines of text. You can adjust it to increase its readability or to squeeze more text onto a page. (Rule of thumb: The more space there is between lines of text, the easier that text is to read.)
- 7. predesigned layout that helps maintain visual consistency throughout a book. Different sections may have different ones.
- 9. is the content of an article or news element. (Basically, it’s the words used to tell a story.)
- 11. is a copy of the yearbook’s final pages that are sent to the staff for a final review and approval.
- 13. is a line that gives credit to the author of a story. It can appear either at the beginning or end of copy.
- 16. is page numbering that appears on the outside portion of pages, usually at the bottom. A ___may also contain the title of your yearbook or your section title.
- 17. posed photographs of individuals. These photos are the photos that are usually being referred to when someone is talking about their “yearbook photo” in the yearbook.
- 18. s the space between two facing pages (an important place to keep clear, because, when a yearbook is bound, the space between the pages shrinks). It’s best to apply a 1/2 inch margin to both sides of it, so 1 inch in total.
- 20. extra space around your page that is intentionally printed, then trimmed by the printer. The standard _____ size is 1/8 inch, and is usually used to allow for movement the paper during printing.
