It’s National School Picture Day!
It’s National School Picture Day! Portrait pages are a key element of any yearbook, but we know they can also be one of the most challenging sections to create. Here are some tips to streamline the process and complete portrait pages efficiently:
Plan Ahead: Successful portrait pages start with early planning. Work closely with your photographer to schedule picture days, retakes and make-up sessions well in advance.
Choose a Consistent Layout: Use eDesign’s Portrait Flow to add placeholders to plan first, then update your flows once you have the files uploaded. This helps you plan the design while you wait for the files!
Double-Check for Accuracy: Ensure all names, grades and titles are correct. Have multiple people review the pages to catch any errors or omissions. Consider creating a proofing process where students can verify their photos and information before finalizing the pages.
Incorporate More Coverage: While the traditional headshot is important, consider adding content to your spreads for better coverage. This adds variety and makes the pages more engaging.
Stay Flexible: Last-minute changes are inevitable. Stay adaptable and be ready to make adjustments as needed.
