Yearbook Design Best Practices and Tips
If you’re still in the design phase, follow these steps for an attractive yearbook that reflects what makes your school and its students special.
- Develop a Theme: A yearbook theme helps give your yearbook’s design a cohesive look. When creating a theme, consider factors such as your school’s culture, memorable events during the school year and student interests.
- Use High-quality Photos: The photos are the star and central focus of any yearbook, so make sure you include ones that have good image quality. Don’t forget to edit the photos before you include them in your draft.
- Be Consistent: You can experiment with different fonts, colors, shapes and patterns, but make sure the visuals complement each other and are consistent throughout the yearbook.
- Proofread: Before you send us your yearbook draft, have two or more people proofread the content for grammar, spelling, capitalization and punctuation errors. It’s better to spend extra time proofreading than having a grammar error appear in the published yearbook.
What to Look for in a Yearbook Printing Company
Publishing a yearbook entails a lot of work and creativity. Over a period of months, yearbook advisers and students team up to develop a concept, compile data, photos, artwork and writing, as well as design and lay out the yearbook.
To do your hard work justice, it’s important to choose the right printing company–one that provides quality printing services that can be tailored according to your needs and preferences as well as adjusted to fit your budget.
That is exactly what the Best Book Printing team delivers.

FAQs
The standard size for yearbooks is 8.5” x 11”. We offer two orientation options: Portrait (8.5″ x 11″) and Landscape (11″ x 8.5″). This size is big enough to accommodate all of the content you may want to include without being too large and bulky.
Coated glossy paper is typically used for yearbooks, as these are durable and make photos stand out. We offer 100# gloss text for yearbook projects.
It depends on a number of factors, such as the number of yearbooks you need to be printed, the number of pages in each one and its size. For an estimate of the turnaround time, we recommend reaching out to our team.
When deciding how many yearbooks to order, consider the number of current students who have placed or will place an order as well, as alumni and faculty who may wish to purchase copies. Consider also that students who did not place a pre-order may change their minds and want to purchase a copy once it’s available.
