If you’re looking for a little bit of amusement you could do worse than checking out YearbookYourself.com. It is pretty much what it sounds like it is – you upload a picture of yourself and it gives you some idea of what your highschool yearbook photos might have looked like any year from the 1950’s through the 1990’s. I had a little bit of fun this afternoon.
For reference, here’s the picture I gave it to work with:
Here’s my 1962 yearbook photo. My face is a little oversized in this one, it didn’t work quite as well as I’d hoped.
Here’s 1968.
Here’s 1970. This is definitely my favorite.
Most of the rest of the 70’s didn’t work out too well because of the hair it tried to put on me. So, we fast-forward to 1984. Now, this hair isn’t that great, either.
By the time we get to 1988, it starts to get to something almost believable…
And then here’s 1994. I started my senior year of high school in 1994. The scary part: I had one of those cardigans, and I loved it.
I couldn’t seem to get the application to work. Is it a Java applet or something?
Maybe I’ll try again sometime, though.
