6. Basics of the yearbook Title page: page one of the yearbook, it should repeat the theme or concept and have a strong photo. The text provides information including the name of your book, the year, the name of the school, and complete school address including zip code, and the volume number in Arabic numerals. Phone number, web address and other important information. o Book size: 7 o Number of pages: 112 o Number of pages of color or spot color/112 o Kind of Cover: Litho design o Deadlines are the beginning of November, Mid-February, End of April and the middle of June

7. Basics continued: Endsheets: they are the heavy paper sheets that connect the cover of the yearbook to the inside of the book (so front and back) they can be printed or left blank. Folio/folio tab: the folio is the page number that should appear on every page of the book, generally in the outside bottom corner. The folio tab provides the section content. ex: 4 football. The rules for these have changed over the last couple of years. (even odd page numbers L-R) Table of contents: lists the main sections of the book. Will typically appear on the endsheets but we use it on the title page to save money and space. o Opening section: a spread or two at the beginning of the book, this section immediately follows the title page. The rule is that it should introduce the theme or concept in specific terms. o Division spreads: divide sections of the book; they introduce each section and continue the theme story in specific copy. They should use the same fonts and design graphics but do not have to be identical. o Closing section: wraps up the theme or concept of the yearbook, using the same design concept created for the opening. Should give a sense closure to the book.

8. Basics continued:  Double-page spread: DPS = two facing pages in the yearbook that should be designed as a single unit.  Signature or multiples: are 16 pages of your book is printed on one single sheet of paper and then folded and cut as a consecutive 16 pages in your book.  Ladder: Our guide to what is on each page who is working on each page and when those pages are due. We use both the hard copy and on-line version. Pica : is 1/6 of an inch and is the standard unit of measure for journalists. Type is measured in point size (9, 12) which refers to the height of a letter. There are 12points in a pica and 6 picas in an inch. Grid: 8 columns and 6 columns. Number one rule is to never stop an element in the middle of the column.
