Dione Project – Interactive School Yearbook

Posted by eyalw | Filed under Projects

Main menuSick and tired of those primitive paper highschool yearbooks? I am… So I decided to develop my own version, I called the experiment “Dione Project” (this was around 2006, when I was a high-school graduate myself).

The vision was simple, convert the paper yearbook into the digital format, and enjoy the advantages that comes along with this move:

  • Unlimited space/color content - Unlike the old fashion paper yearbook, you are not restrained by number of pages or pricey ink of color photos.  The digital yearbook can contain text, images, and even videos or entire galleries of school events!
  • Colorful, dynamic and more interactive – The yearbook will use Flash technology that enables great animation and design that appeals to the reader and maximizes the user experience.
  • Online ready – The book can easily be uploaded to a website and viewed through the browser, from any computer, thus available to any visitor of the school home page. An impressive gallery of all the school graduates – a great souvenir!
  • Smaller effort, and less work – The digital year book is much easier to design for the yearbook committee, they can choose from ready templates!
  • cheaper – The digital yearbook is even more cheap than the current paper one, and it also preserved much better over the years!

When I finished the yearbook, my creation was sold to Aleh Lod 2006 graduates for 20 shekels per disk! : )
