Blog 18: Third Answer

What is the best way graphic design can be used to augment a yearbook?

Typography, the use of type in a creative manner, can augment yearbooks by giving personality to the headlines and copy throughout the book.

Typography can make legal documents less of a pain to read. One typographer turned lawyer implements it in his legal paperwork so that it is less of a hassle to sort through and the judge actually enjoys reading it. (ARTL 14)

Typography is an art; another element to implement correctly. You have to go through a long checklist before you have your type looking the way you want it. (ARTL 30)

Typography can make the main point even more apparent. By using the right type of font, you can solidify an idea. Such as using a cursive font for "Wedding Day" versus a death metal band style font. (ARTL 35)

Typography, an important aspect of yearbook today, is a cornerstone of modern graphic design that is currently heavily focused on in yearbooks today.
