Yearbook PhotoJournalism: Using Speech Bubbles
November 20th, 2008
One way to keep yearbook photojournalism interesting is to use speech bubbles for your text, essentially turning your page into a comic strip. In fact, you can have a lot of fun by cropping pictures and turning them into a comic book page, if you like.
Speech bubbles have the potential to go terribly wrong if you aren`t very careful, so be sure to take the time to check any work done by students. Avoid anything that could be construed as offensive or making someone look bad.
Having a comic strip with real students can be a huge amount of fun and if you do it right, everyone will love it! Use older comic strips as inspiration or take a look at some of the older ads that are found in magazines like National Geographic.
Yearbook photojournalism is something that can be treated in many different ways to really bring out the interest in your yearbook. Have some fun and get creative.
