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.
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.
Three steps to putting your photo pages together
If you have a lot of content, a magazine-style yearbook design is a great solution. Either make up your very own unique magazine, or base it on the style of your favourite magazine.
