Yearbook Front Cover Ideas

A popular and effective way to create a yearbook cover is to stage a design contest. Students studying Graphic Design and Art can be invited to contribute their entries. If there are several yearbook covers that are very effective you may wish to dedicate a page in the yearbook to display these. Scanned art-work such as paintings or drawings or a high-quality photo can look very effective.

A few ideas for your cover design:

• Take photos of your students and get them to form the letters of a word for example “2009” or “Yearbook”.
• For a graduation book get the students to sign a blank bit of paper and scan the page into the computer
• For a Graduation Book take a close-up of your Leavers jumper
• A photo of your class-group forming a letter or number, for example “09”
• Run a competition for students in the Art class, Photography or graphic design class to create a yearbook cover.

On the back-cover of your yearbook you could include:

• A poem written for the graduating class
• A collage of photos
• For a Primary School Yearbook bright coloured hand-prints can also look very effective
