When a yearbook committee comes together to create your class yearbook a lot of decisions needs to be made. One very important element that can help dictate the overall outcome of the book is where the inspiration is found.
So where do you turn to find that lasting inspiration? Here are a few ideas:
- Pinterest. Pinterest is a great social network to visually get ideas and inspiration for just about anything. That includes your class yearbook. By browsing various boards and pins can help in driving some great ideas that could make your yearbook very unique and distinctive. Don’t forget to check out the YearbookLife Pinterest while you’re at it.
- Quote websites. Many times a theme of a yearbook can evolve from a famous quote. Quotes are great ways to give a meaning to a school year like a quote said by Beatles singer John Lennon. By making that the focal point of the book can then be expanded in other ways throughout the book using Beatles themed references. A great place to find great inspirational quotes is http://www.brainyquote.com.
- Current events. In many instances a yearbook maybe remembered most significantly by theming it around a current that happened during the school year or around that time. This current event could be something that was internally very important to the school or a current event that occurred nationally or globally. For example, perhaps if you are creating your class yearbook for a catholic school you may get some inspiration from the Pope visiting the U.S.
There are a lot of ways to find inspiration for a class yearbook. In addition, when you use YearbookLife as your yearbook publisher, you get access to the Pictavo software. Pictavo is great yearbook design program that is full of inspiration ideas. A yearbook makes for a lasting impression that will be brought up and shown for generations to come. Make it awesome!
