The Yearbook Cover is a First Impression
A yearbook cover is the staff’s initial opportunity to make a great first impression. It introduces the voice of the book, provides essential details for the reader and defines the book’s personality. Covers can employ strong verbal statements and simple graphics to introduce a classic concept. While silkscreened covers offer the most traditional look, litho covers allow staffs options galore, including the inclusion of photographs.
Before you and your staff begin mind-melding for your next book’s cover, take some tidbits of inspiration from some examples taken straight from Ideas That Fly! While we plan to showcase more ITF inclusions on the blog this summer, we chose to kick it off with a variety of black and white examples.
WHITE YEARBOOK COVERS
Choosing an all white cover can allow for simplicity, yet boldness at the same time. You could include thin type and simple graphics, bold, large type and even employ a single color to deliver an intended impact.

BLACK YEARBOOK COVERS
Black covers are a bold move, too. Include geometric patterns, an array of photos or keep it plain and simple with thin type and simplistic graphics.
