Flowcharts clearly illustrate the sequential nature of the process, showing the different stages, decision points (e.g., needing more photos), and the flow from one step to the next. Other options, while potentially useful for *parts* of the process, lack the overall clarity of a flowchart for the entire publication journey:
* Timeline: A timeline shows *when* things happen but not necessarily the *order of operations* required.
* Gantt chart: Useful for project management and scheduling, but overkill for simply showing the steps in a yearbook's creation.
* Diagram: Too generic; a specific type of diagram, like a flowchart, is needed.
The flowchart can include boxes for each step (e.g., "Photo Selection," "Layout Design," "Proofreading," "Printing," "Distribution") with arrows indicating the progression. It can also branch to show alternative paths if necessary.
