Designing a yearbook from scratch? Get a helping hand from the professionals

So it is coming up to the end of term and student representatives and teachers are talking about putting a yearbook together. A book of memories from your time as a student with pictures of your friends, teachers, the classrooms, school events, sports teams, hobbies, societies the choir, or even the glee club.

We're not talking about a few pictures and paragraphs thrown together on clip art, but the real thing. A hard bound, personalised year book with colour pages that contain the logo of your school and all the pictures and accounts which will make it the school years you will never ever forget just like in the high school TV serials and teen movies.

Yearbooks have a retro feel about them and are often seen as quite an American high school tradition, but they are not now seen out of place in our British schools and colleges, so if you are after the real thing with a professional finish then it worth looking at professional yearbook design services to meet your design needs.

Of course, you can opt to put the yearbook together yourself especially if you are handy with computers and design software such as Page Plus, or Adobe InDesign. But when you look at the different design processes involved in yearbook design, you may find that you are pushed for time and cannot take the time to get the final look you were after.

Besides, if you are busy getting bogged down with coursework and exams you probably don't want to be slaving over a computer for your yearbook when you're done, because you won't have any time left for celebrating at end of year parties and proms, as well as relaxing and distressing.

As students you still get to have the input and mindmap your different page ideas and themes as well as your own personal words, anecdotes and school information. The design service puts it all together for you and even provides a checking service so you're left with a book of memories, which you can safely say was designed with student input but you just got professionals to do the boring bits for you!

So what else can you expect to get from a professional yearbook service? Well a good design service should always welcome your ideas and requirements and then work to tailor make a finish product for you and your classmates. Don't worry if you're totally stuck for ideas or simply need a bit of inspiration.

They will almost always have existing design templates, which you can easily adapt and tweak to them unique to your school. This lets you explore different page backgrounds, images which convey texture or different themes, so you get the yearbook you envisaged.

You can decide with the design service how many students you want per page. You can have as many or as little you like per page, depending on how much text or pages you actually want. You can even decide whether you want more than one picture per student. Say you want a picture of a student in year 7 and another of the same student in year 11 then you can do that.

The longer the comments by each student, the fewer you can fit one page but the thicker your yearbook. So it is a simple matter of managing your yearbook budget. So what are you waiting for? Get brainstorming and consult the professionals for a yearbook that will impress everyone.
