Ruby HuhYearbook
Why?• First impressions are important and
the most immediate way of creating an impression on the Yearbook is the aesthetics of the layout.
• Without stressing the layout design, the yearbook will look incomplete.
Color Coordina-tion
• Important design property• Subconscious element (eyes-> natu-
ral instinct)• Different color schemes= Different
moods• Design colors should be matched up
with the colors of photos
Quality of Photograph
• Can give focal point• Can make the layout standout• Dominant photos can be the back-
ground
Overlapping and Bleed-ing Photos
• Can create depth, even with flat el-ements
• Can create a more interesting per-spective by over or under lapping
• Avoids boarders• Emphasizes the photo by appearing
right where the spread begins

perceive the information

eye takes when looking at the year-book
