In the words of G. I. Joe, “Knowledge is Power”. This includes the knowledge of what NOT to do as well. We’re filling these cards up with yearbooks do’s, here are 7 yearbook don’ts:

1. Don’t put faces or text across the gutter.
2. Don’t use too many fonts. Choose just a few (or one font family) that match your visual theme.
3. Don’t trap your captions (putting them between two photos).
4. Don’t have unplanned white space.
5. Don’t have a theme that’s too complicated for your school to understand.
6. Don’t fill your book with images/photos that are unrelated to your school.
7. When selling, don’t ever beg someone to buy a book.
