Like with any other memorable piece, a yearbook is a very important possession for a graduating class. What you put in it isn’t something that you need to just thirty seconds to think about. You want everything to be perfect!
Creating the perfect yearbook can sometimes be frustrating and a little inspiration may be needed in order to achieve that “creative spark.” But where do you find that inspiration? How can you get inspired? Here are a few tips on how to best get inspired for creating that memorable yearbook:
- Develop A Theme. Themes should relate to the attitude of the year that your school just had or is having. Was there a milestone or special event that went during the year? By creating a theme and building around that will make the entire process that much more smoother.
- Work Off Of Popular Phrases. Besides your class photos and the photos of your teams and clubs your yearbook needs good content. One way is by feeding off popular phrases. For Example the “Keep Calm and blank” line or the “I Heart Blank” line. People always remember these. Why not get some inspiration from them and create some pages that have custom lines that feed off these popular phrases.
- Utilize Current Events. Whether it is good or bad, people always remember major news stories and current events. Why not intertwine it with your yearbook and create pages and provide quotes or mentions of where students were during a specific event that everyone will always remember.
There is no good or bad yearbook. Every yearbook should be unique and feature a theme that most closely resembles its graduating class as well as something they will want to go back and look at for years to come.
