Most students don’t like to read, but they love to read yearbooks. The advisor usually doesn’t have time to write pieces for the yearbook. Here are some school yearbook design ideas to make your school yearbook stand out.
However, yearbook editors should rethink this option. Students read their yearbooks all year long. To give each page personality, you can also select a student or teacher from each class to write about anything going on throughout the school year. You can inject your school yearbook with style by personalizing it this way. Another option could be adding student artwork or poetry inside the yearbook or on the cover. Allow them to include photos of their social functions and outings away from school.
Get yearbook ideas for thematic elements from school locations, school-wide goals or school milestones. Contrast works wonders for a school yearbook, especially for yearbooks that don’t use much color. Contrast allows pages to pop without investing in expensive yearbook design software and color pages. Use stripes, circles and shapes to bring attention to text. Yearbooks that do use color can contrast light and dark colors. The next time you sit down to plan your school’s yearbook, look at the elements around you. The missing element for that great yearbook may be right in front of your face.
Make your yearbook stand out with the help of YearbookLife and our school yearbook publishing and printing services. We offer great yearbook design software including: EZ Book Yearbook Software and Yearbook Fusion Software. Contact us and get more information about our school yearbooks.
Consider the yearbook theme as the attitude or personality of the year for your school. It is a perfect medium to tell a story that will be remembered by all in a positive or spirit-related format. Your school yearbook should record the events of the year and celebrate the milestones of the year under the unified story format of your the theme. Yearbook themes come in different shapes and sizes based upon the attitude of the year. Yearbook themes are discussed and portrayed in all sections of the yearbook, especially on the cover, endsheets, title pages, opening pages, closing pages, and division pages for each section of the school yearbook.
Good Yearbook Theme Ideas:
Here are a few themes you can consider just for starters:
A Cut Above
A Day in the Life
A Flash from the Past
A New Awakening
A New Point of View
A Season of Change
A Step Above the Rest
A Touch of Class
Anyway You Slice It
Attention to Detail

Breaking Thru

Consider playing off words of the yearbook theme as titles for each section or work on conceptual themes that play of a yearbook idea vs. words.
School yearbooks are usually bought by most of the students, but students seem to be considering the slowed economy as they decide whether to purchase their school yearbooks this year. More students are buying their school yearbooks early in the school year in order to get the yearbooks cheaper.
Even at the beginning of the year when the yearbooks are cheaper, the price can still be a bit high to purchase one every year. Schools typically price yearbooks low in the beginning of the year and incrementally raise the price as the end of the year approaches.
If you are going to buy your school yearbook anyways, why not buy it at the cheapest price? We at YearbookLife suggest not waiting until the last minute to buy you school yearbook, it could even be sold out. Here is a student video about “Letting the last yearbook get away.”
