A colophon is the statement, placed at the end of the yearbook, recording the names of the staff and printer, book specifications, size of the edition, and other information about the production of the yearbook.

It can be as elaborate or simple as you want. It’s important to include a colophon in your yearbook as a resource for future staffs. It’s also nice to use it as a place for a shout out — to your rep (hint, hint), to Paul Ender, to your instructor at YearbookNV and to your adviser. In fact, it can be a great place to thank the people who helped you produce your book all year long.
