Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to, for example, graduation albums distributed to children in kindergartens or nursery schools, or to students in elementary, junior high, and high schools. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, albums are distributed to graduating students and graduates at the time of graduation. This album is compiled for the purpose of having the graduating students look back on their memories of their time at the kindergarten after they graduate, and is distributed to each graduating student. The same applies to graduates (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 6-36869 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, because all graduates are subject to inclusion in the graduation album, it is difficult to ensure that all graduates appear in the photos the same number of times, and some graduates may not like the facial expression or angle of the photo, so not all graduates and their guardians are necessarily satisfied with the album. In addition, even if guardians take over creative works created while in the nursery school, such as crafts, paintings, prints, and writings, they may have difficulty finding storage space and knowing how to store them.

[0005] The objective of the present invention is to provide a graduation or yearbook that increases the satisfaction of graduates, parents, etc., and that can easily accommodate creative works produced by graduates or edit photos that focus on individual graduates. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention is as follows: [1] A graduation or yearbook having multiple sheets of printed paper with photographs printed on them, The plurality of printing papers are A group of common pages that contain photos of multiple graduates or graduating students who are the subject of publication, A group of individual pages including a page that contains a photograph of a specific individual among the multiple graduates or graduates who are the subjects of the posting, and a page that contains a photograph of a creative work of the specific individual; A kindergarten graduation or graduation album characterized by comprising:

[0007] [2] The graduation or yearbook described in [1] above, wherein the photographs of the specific individuals are personal photo albums including portraits and / or snapshots, and the creative works of the specific individuals are one or more of the following: crafts, paintings, prints, and writings.

[0008] [3] The graduation album or yearbook described in [1] or [2] above, wherein the group of individual pages is arranged following the final page of the group of common pages. Effect of the Invention

[0009] The graduation or yearbook of this invention increases the satisfaction of graduates, parents, etc., and makes it easy to respond to creative works produced by graduates, or to edit photos that focus on individual graduates. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0010] [Figure 1] 1 is an explanatory diagram of a graduation album according to an embodiment of the present invention; [Diagram 2] 13A is an explanatory diagram of a page in the common page group when the graduation album is opened, and FIG. 13B is an explanatory diagram of another page in the common page group. [Diagram 3]13A is an explanatory diagram of a page of the group of individual pages when the graduation album is opened, and FIG. 13B is an explanatory diagram of another page of the group of individual pages. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] The graduation or graduation album (commemorative album) of this invention is a graduation or graduation album that has a plurality of sheets of printed paper on which photographs are printed, characterized in that the plurality of sheets of printed paper include a group of common pages containing photographs including the plurality of graduates or graduates to be featured, and a group of individual pages including a page containing a photograph of the face of a specific individual among the plurality of graduates or graduates to be featured, and a page containing a photograph of a creative work of the specific individual.

[0012] The graduation or graduation album of this invention allows pages to be created for specific individuals among multiple graduating students or graduates who are the subject of publication, so for example, pages using one's favorite photos can be created in the album. In addition, since photos of a specific individual's creative work can be published, for example, there is no need to deal with issues that arise when taking over the creative work itself, specifically, securing storage space for the creative work, worrying about deterioration or damage during storage, deciding whether to discard it, etc. Therefore, the satisfaction of the graduates and their guardians can be increased, and it is easy to respond to creative works produced by the graduates or to edit photos focusing on individual graduates.

[0013] Below, we will explain each component of the graduation or yearbook (hereinafter simply referred to as the album) of the present invention.

[0014] (album) Examples of albums include graduation albums distributed to children in kindergartens and nursery schools, and graduation albums distributed to students in elementary, junior high, and high schools. This album has a front cover and a back cover, and several printed sheets of paper with printed photos are bound between the front cover and the back cover. The number of printed sheets is not particularly limited, and can be changed depending on, for example, the number of graduating students or graduates and the number of photos to be included, and is preferably about 8 to 100 sheets (about 16 to 200 pages in terms of the number of pages) (see Figure 1).

[0015] (printed paper) The type of printing paper is not particularly limited as long as it is capable of printing photographs, and it is preferable to use paper that beautifully expresses colors, specifically, art post paper, matte coated paper, coated paper, etc. Furthermore, these printing papers can be made into one sheet of printing paper by pasting (facing together) two sheets of printing paper with a photograph printed on only one side with the opposite sides (unprinted sides) of the printed sides, or photographs can be printed on both sides of one printing paper.

[0016] The plurality of printing sheets includes a common page group and an individual page group. The common page group is made up of multiple pages that are common to all graduating students or graduates to whom the album is distributed, and is not particularly limited as long as it contains photographs including the multiple graduating students or graduates to be included. For example, it is preferable to post photographs of the principal or school principal (full photos or head photos), landscape photos of the school building or gymnasium, photographs of teaching staff (including former faculty and staff) (full photos or head photos), group photographs of clubs or committees, and scenery photos of various school events such as the entrance ceremony, graduation ceremony, sports festival, cultural festival, school trip, etc. It is also possible to post news and genealogy from the time of enrollment to graduation (see Figures 1, 2(a) and (b)). The number of pages in the common page group is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 8 to 100 pages, for example. The albums in Figures 2(a) and (b) are typically printed on one side of the paper and then pasted together with the unprinted sides of the paper to create a laminated binding, which is a typical printing and binding method.

[0017] The individual page group is composed of a plurality of pages including a page with a photograph of a specific individual among a plurality of graduating students or graduates to whom the album is distributed, and a page with a photograph of a creative work of the specific individual. Here, the photograph of the specific individual may be an individual photo album including a face photo, a full-body photo, or a snapshot, but a face photo and / or an individual photo album is preferable, and the creative work of the specific individual is preferably one or more of a craft, a painting, a print, and a writing. This creative work is produced by the specific individual at the school or the like, which eliminates the need for, for example, a guardian or the like to take back the creative work itself (see FIG. 1, FIG. 3(a) and (b)). The number of pages in the individual page group is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 8 to 100 pages, for example. In addition, the albums in Figures 3(a) and (b) are basically printed on both sides of the paper, and perfect binding is a representative printing and binding specification.

[0018] Examples of photographs (image data) to be printed on printing paper include photographs taken and prepared in advance by a photo studio, photographs taken by teachers at kindergartens or nursery schools, or elementary, junior high or high schools, photographs taken by graduating students or parents of graduating students, and it is preferable that the photographs have been subjected to various processing steps as necessary by a photo studio, teacher, parent, printing company that produces the album, etc. (See Figures 2(a) and (b), and Figures 3(a) and (b)).

[0019] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the graduation album of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0020] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, a graduation album 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a plurality of printed papers 18 on which photographs 11 to 17 are printed, and these plurality of printed papers 18 comprise a common page group 19 containing photographs including the plurality of graduates to be featured, a page 20 containing a photograph of a specific individual among the plurality of graduates to be featured, and an individual page group 23 including pages 21 and 22 containing photographs of creative works of the specific individual.

[0021] The printed paper 18 has a common page group 19 in which two printed papers each having a photograph printed on only one side are pasted together with the opposite sides (unprinted sides) of the printed sides facing each other, and an individual page group 23 in which photographs are printed on both sides of the printed paper. Here, since the individual page group 23 is arranged following the final page of the common page group 19, it is possible to improve the work efficiency (workability) at the printing company that produces the graduation album 10. The arrangement order of the individual page group 23 and the common page group 19 is not limited to the above order, and for example, the common page group 19 can be arranged following the final page of the individual page group 23, or the individual page group can be arranged together in the middle of the common page group, or each page of the individual page group can be distributed to the middle of the common page group.

[0022] As shown in Figures 2(a) and (b), the common page group 19 contains a photograph of the principal's face 11, a landscape photograph of the school building 12, and a group photograph of all the graduating students to be published 13. For the group photograph 13 of multiple graduating students, for example, a photograph of all the graduating students gathered together, or a photograph of each class (including teachers and staff) to which they belong, can be used. In addition, it is preferable for the common pages to include landscape photographs other than the school building, individual overall photographs or face photographs of teachers and staff, group photographs of teachers and staff, and photographs of school events such as the entrance ceremony, graduation ceremony, play days, and sports days.It is also possible to include news and genealogies from the time of entrance to graduation, and various board games such as Sugoroku.

[0023] As shown in Figures 3(a) and (b), the individual page group 23 contains face photographs 14 of specific individuals among all the graduating students to whom the albums are distributed, and photographs 15 to 17 of the creative works of specific individuals. For the photographs of specific individuals, full-body photographs, individual photo albums (including snapshots) including photographs not included in the common page group 19 in Figures 2(a) and (b) can also be used. Here, the creative works mentioned are crafts and paintings, but they can also be, for example, prints, writings, etc. In particular, for creative works that are three-dimensional or large in size, it is preferable to publish them on printed paper, as this eliminates the need for parents, etc. to consider securing storage space for the creative works and storage methods, etc.

[0024] The graduation album may also include components other than the printed paper with photographs described above. For example, a molded sheet on which a predetermined design or the like is printed can be configured to stand up or fold in conjunction with the opening and closing of a specific page of the spread of the graduation album. This molded sheet can be made of, for example, a hard paper material and can be attached to a specific page of the spread in advance, but it can also be attached separately to the graduation album and pasted by the user of the graduation album, for example, the graduating students or their guardians, on the specific page of the spread themselves.

[0025] Specifically, this molded sheet is mountain-folded along a specific line, and the glue tabs extending from the lower ends on both sides of the line are folded toward the back surface, and the glue tabs are attached across the specific page of the spread. As a result, the attached molded sheet stands up or folds in conjunction with the opening and closing of the specific page, standing upright across both pages when opened, and when closed, the bend in the glue tab is forcibly released and the sheet is folded across the back surface along the specific line, completely folded between the two pages.

[0026] In addition, when the user attaches the molded sheet to a specific page of a spread by himself / herself, the molded sheet may be one whose outline is formed according to a printed pattern, for example, but it may also be one that has been removed from the sheet and used. The patterns, etc. on this molded sheet may be pre-printed, or the molded sheet may be blank, allowing the user or guardian, etc. to write patterns, letters, etc. on this blank molded sheet.

[0027] As described above, the graduation album 10 of the present invention has pages specialized for specific individuals (for example, individual photo albums (including snapshots)), which increases the satisfaction of graduating students, graduates, and their parents, etc. In particular, in addition to pages specialized for specific individuals, there are pages containing photographs of creative works, which makes it easy to respond to creative works produced by graduating students and graduates.
