Yearbook Design Idea: Playing with Patterns
Thinking of sticking with plain block colour background in your yearbook? Try taking your leavers’ book design one step further by using patterned backgrounds.

We’ve put together a few examples showing you how to use patterned backgrounds in our online editor, Yearbook Hub.
Yearbook Design Idea: Magazine Articles
Magazine Articles
This is one of the best yearbook ideas to get memories and stories from your school years into the yearbook.
Magazine (or Newspaper) articles should not be used to tell the story of your entire time at school. When was the last time you picked up a magazine and read an article which detailed the events of the last seven years of someone’s life? Nor should they be used excessively. They work best if you just include three or four, spaced out through the yearbook.
Yearbook Design Ideas: Photo Pages
Photo Pages
You have to include loads of pictures in your yearbook. It’s a must. But you don’t have to feature photo pages that are essentially just lots of pictures. You can be way more creative than that.
Photo pages are generally exactly what the title suggests. Pages of photo’s. No comments, no titles, just let the pictures do the talking.
Photo pages are ideal for displaying photos of trips, tutor groups, friendship groups, drama productions, and much much more. They are often some of the most popular pages in the yearbook.
