If you want your yearbook pages to really get some attention, you need to do two things: rock your layout and publish amazing photos. We want to give you some tips that make it easier for you to create awesome yearbook pages.
Here’s the first tip: Use the Golden Ratio when creating your layouts.
This blog post does a great job of explaining what the Golden Ratio is, how it looks when used in yearbook layout design, and why you should use it. Definitely check out this post!
If you’re up for trying it out, a great way to ensure you followed the golden ratio is to overlay a grid after you’ve finished your design. To do that, just download this image and upload it to whatever publishing software you’re using. You’ll want it to be the top layer so you can see how the page flows.
Our second tip: Make little changes to your photography to give you more great photo options.
The best part of this tip is that there are actually a whole bunch of tips (so you can choose which ones you like the most). Our blog has a ton of great posts on photography, but our two favorites are these: How to get more out of your smartphone camera and How to compose a better photo.
