What Makes a Yearbook Memorable?
Yearbooks will encapsulate a student's year at school, so it is important to reflect on what occurred. Make sure that the students designing the yearbook know what to include for pages in the yearbook.
Pages that should be included are
- school events pages
- school administrators & staff potraits page
- teachers potraits page
- the student awards page
- student portraits
- sports competitions pages
- school clubs/groups pages
- school teams pages
- the graduating class page
It is also important to leave room at the front and back for signatures, which are often the highlight of receiving a yearbook at the end of school. It's all about making sure that the finished result is able to accurately show what happened so students can be reminded each time they open it.
Yearbooks are meant to look good, so keep that in mind when deciding on your materials. You can choose a cardstock cover to help preserve the pages, or go one step further and have it laminated or UV coated. If you would like to add extra shine, consider UV coating your front and back covers. This process creates a high gloss sheen that makes your colours pop and look more professional. If you are printing the inside pages in black and white then you can get the printing done quickly and less expensively. Printing inside pages in full colour will be more modern, but will take more time to complete.
Yearbooks can also be bound different ways depending on the type of cover. A softcover might do better with coil binding, while a hardcover would benefit from a full bound book and glued pages. Talk over the options with your yearbook committee to see what they would prefer, within reason of course.

Why a Yearbook?
One of the best things about school is the memories. What better way to enjoy memories than by printing them out to look at and remember forever?
