Okay, so I'm going to be editor of the yearbook next year, and I'm starting to think of themes. Last year, we did a Time theme, and that was really easy to incorporate with each page. So I'm looking for new themes. I don't really like the movie cinema type of themes, because it just seems kind of cheesey to me.
Also, we work with Jostens, so there's both pre designed layouts, and tools to make our own layouts. Last year, we did our own layouts, and it looked pretty good. But then I compared it to another school's yearbook, and they had pre designed layouts so that each page coordinated perfectly with each other. It looked a lot more "complete" and flowed better, I guess, than our yearbook, but I can tell that our staff probably worked at lot harder. It's a lot harder (although more creative) to design your own pages than to use pre made professionally designed ones. Which do you think is better-- pre designed, or make your own?
