Guide on Publishing a High School Yearbook

[badequation]

Good afternoon PExers! How's your summer?

I want to open up this thread in order to help High School students (the Yearbook Committee/Staff) in publishing their batch yearbook. In my case, we weren't given much info on how to come up with our yearboo; hence, we encountered a lot of problems that resulted to an almost 2 years of delay.

To avoid this case to happen again, we will use this thread to help each other out.

In this thread, we will:

• Share tips and guides on how to come up with a (timely) yearbook.
• Discuss how to avoid problems that can delay the yerabook.
• Share highly relevant blogs and posts regarding publishing a yearbook.
• Share experience being part of the yearbook staff.
• Discuss what will be a good theme for the yearbook.
• And yearbook ideas in general.

Let me share our yearbook cover page(I was the layout editor 4 years back):


Also, to start off, I want to share to you my own guide in Publishing a High School Yearbook. You may read it here: http://yougotme.hubpages.com/hub/Pub...chool-Yearbook

Hopefully, you'll find this very useful. Good luck with your yearbook! Don't forget to share here the finished product of your sweat and blood! (Yeah, in my case, even if I was a college frosh, I was still editing the layout and the pics for the yearbook. That's why I'm so proud of my work)

Ooh. I know. Let's shift a little bit from the topic.

And pose you with this question: How long did it take your HS yearbook to be published and distributed?

[tubong_batasan]

More than a decade has lapsed and I can't still see the shadow of our HS yearbook.

[badequation]

Oh. Really? What happened?

Yung sa amin, we usually wait for 2-3 years, I thought matagal na *** ganun. Meron palang instances na di na nakukuha.

Did you pay already for the yearbook?

[sheisse]

Dalawa lang kami na gagawa ng yearbook namin. Ako tiga-gather and organize ng data (finished) at 'yung isa naman ang bahala sa layout. Principal na namin ang bahala sa printing. Ang hirap sa totoo lang.

[badequation]

sheisse, mahirap nga yan. 2 man team lang kayo? Bakit di kayo nagrerecruit?

para mas mabilis ang proseso.

[badequation]

Up for this thread.

[badequation]

Let's try to up this.

[badequation]

Meron ba ditong ngayong part ng Yearbook Committee?

[badequation]

Up lang for this.

Meron ba ditong ngayong part ng Yearbook Committee?

I become then the layout artists and editor of our college yearbook. mahirap talaga mag asikaso nito. tip ko lang tingin tingin din kayo ng ibang yearbook. ilista chronologically yung contents. bigyan niyo ng "theme" yung layout. layout, ttitle, foreword, and the valedictory address / messages, should interconnect each other.. yan ang mga dapat muna unang mga aalalahanin sa paggawa ng yearbook

[badequation]

Wow! College yearbook - bigaten!

Yup! I think importante talaga ang theme. Kasi that will make the yearbook more interesting.

I agree na dapat may magandang planning muna para ma-execute talaga ng maayos.

Yearbook namin nung highschool:
May theme. Batch before us theme nila music playlist or something. Theme ng batch namin around the world.
Nandun lahat ng photos ng teachers, administrators, club members, and of course, students.
Yung president (or principal) and other officials ng school may message. Pati yung advisers ng mga section.
Basically yung nagcocontribute sa yearbook yung person na nagvolunteer na magbigay ng description sa every student sa respective sections nila and yung mga photos ng class. Tapos may personal info, batch picture, and other random stuff.

[badequation]

Medyo same lang actually yung set-up with our case. We usually set up a yearbook committee, and we call the volunteers (the ones who will write descriptions, etc of person) "contributors".

We also ask for sponsorship to fund the yearbook. So I guess, yung iba they can do it as well. At least makakatipid ng kaunting cost.

[rodent_slayer]

to make it sophisticated, relate it to the roots of your school (history of school, its milestones, and the like) or identify something's significant on your batch..

[badequation]

^That's a great idea! Yung madalas na ilagay usually are photos of the school facilities etc. That will be a great idea!

And yung "Something significant on the batch" will be able to make the yearbook more special.

[acceberanna]

Kawawa naman kami, mukhang wala ng pag-asa yung HS yearbook namin! Ninenok na ata yung pera

[badequation]

Haha! (Ang slow ng reply ko)

Gaano katagal na yung sa inyo?
