Yearbook Photojournalism: Finding the Groove
August 18th, 2008
Yearbook photojournalism involves using text and photos to create a fun, interesting page in the yearbook. The use of photos to go along with the photos is the best way to draw interest and make the yearbook better.
Some ideas for your yearbook photojournalism:
- Use at least 3 photos. The more visual interest, the more likely students are to pay attention.
- Be descriptive. Using active verbs and plenty of adjectives will help to convey the point of the story.
- Highlight important points. Try selecting specific, important parts of the article to put in a highlighted box to catch the eye.
- Use bullet points and subtitles. This will make it easier to read the story and students will be more likely to actually read it.
These tips will help turn your yearbook photojournalism into something that students look forward to reading.
