Making Yearbook Layout Text Stand Out
November 13th, 2008
Often the text in a yearbook layout with lots of photos just fades into the background and isn`t really noticeable. There is a simple solution to this issue . . . just start using text boxes.
Text boxes are an excellent addition to any yearbook layout that includes text and photos. There are a couple of different ways to do them.
Bordered: This is as simple as running a border around the text. You could use a simple black line or go for something a bit more interesting like hearts, etc.
Colored boxes: Using a pale color behind the text will make it stand out. If the page is in black and white, then use gray.
Light on dark: A black text box with white text is a great way to grab attention on a yearbook layout where the photos are dominating.
Text boxes keep the text nice and neat and also help it stand out. It`s a great way to add interest to a yearbook layout.
