Mission Statement
Yearbook Machine has a unique goal: to make it easy for anyone to make a truly beautiful yearbook. Too many yearbooks are made and bought because people feel like they ought to: our aim is to make books that people can read, re-read and truly cherish.
Our Story
Yearbook Machine was started in 2007 when school friends Dan Barker and Tom Allen were charged with making their own school yearbook. They found that the existing options in the market just didn't do justice to the book that they wanted to create to celebrate their school days. Other companies charge exorbitant fees to create books that have dated designs and poor print quality. What's more, because creating a yearbook is such a large effort, particularly when students have exams looming, yearbooks often end up finished in a hurry and rough around the edges.
We want to change that. Yearbook Machine make yearbooks for the Facebook generation. We take care of all the design and logistical requirements of making your book, meaning you can just concentrate on providing great content. And because our online system is so easy to use - some have even called it 'addictive' - the process of making your book becomes something unheard of for most yearbook committees: fun.
