The Yearbook Blog

If possible, make room in your book for dividers: double-page spreads that separate or introduce a new section in the yearbook.

• They set the tone for the next section
• They reinforce the theme of the book, both visually and verbally
• Include great action photos that make the reader excited to turn the page
• Sometimes have a mini table of contents for that section

What do yearbooks and
prom dresses have in common? Both require good coverage! You can’t
skimp out on topics just because you think they are boring, so try to
follow a good coverage formula:

• Student Life = 25% of your book
• Academics = 15 - 20%
• Clubs/Organizations = 10 - 15%
• Sports = 15 - 20%
• People = 25 - 30%

Monroe Clark Middle School in San Diego, CA, has found a creative way to raise money and increase coverage. They are selling “Page Numbers.” For only $2, students and staff members can pay to be pictured holding the page number! Great idea, Monroe Clark!

Here’s the actual posting on their website:
