How much Writing and How much Photography?
March 5th, 2009
When you start to come up with ideas for you year book on how to lay things out you will want to figure out out exactly how much writing and how much photography you will want to use in your yearbook. You want to keep in mind how much of a ration you will want to have on each page.
Ideally if you could you will want to have a layout that is roughly even with text and photos. if you go to top heavy on text chances are you will not get too many that sit and read through out. You have to break up the text with some photos. You can get really creative with your photos as well. You can put a variety of borders around your photo or even toy with some of the coloring on the photos to make them pop and stand out.
If you look at professional publications and magazines the ratio’s are always very tight. User and reader experience is what keeps readers glued to your page. If visually you can break up the page so the reader doesn’t feel like they are not reading a novel. reader experience will be very important. If you have something very crucial and dear to everyone’s heart that you want people to read it will be an important factor to make that reading style and quality possible.
