Caught Our Eye

Curve Ball – In establishing a cohesive design theme throughout your yearbook, the overall style of each spread should make them feel that they are all part of the same book. This is done with consistent use of typographic styles, colors, folios and graphic elements. Then, a small change in the layout can make for a pleasant surprise for the reader. The Saga staff captures attention with a spread on student artists that follows their design theme, but the layout style is just different enough. Don’t be afraid to break out and mix up your layout styles. Sometimes a little well-placed inconsistency can be a good thing.
