Comic Book Layout Ideas

Using a comic book theme wouldn't only be cool, it would also look awesome. We could use a comic book format to bring even more action to sport pages.

Using a layout like this would allow for more efficient uses of space.
Text boxes strategically placed makes it so that space
doesn't always need to be set aside for overbearing articles and captions. 

We could use text boxes like this for articles and captions.

Layouts like this look more professional and a helluva lot better.

Gus here.

I'm staunchly in favor of the comic/superhero theme. Since superheroes and comic books have been a huge part of pop culture for decades, we should have no problem creating humorous puns in relation to school.

Cheer, for example, could be titled with "Pom particles". Antman/Pym particle references!! Mr. Melkioty? the man of steel.

Even though we are trying to create a more minimalist yearbook this year, I think that a background similar to what we did with the sports poster illustration would be fitting- applying a filter similar to the Photocopy effect, and make the members of our school appear inked in. the placement would be similar to the shoe illustrations we did two yearbooks ago... Opacity toned down, and placement just behind the main title. In this way we could create a collage of some of the preeminent athletes in our school- thus simultaneously recognizing and promoting their achievement, in a comic style.

Hoping Isaac will be willing to create a yearbook staff illustration- Making us all into our own comic book character/superhero. What better way to close a yearbook?

SOCIAL MEDIA THEME! 
We could use the iPhone home screen and use it as a table of contents for the yearbook.

Comic Book/Superhero theme

COMIC BOOK THEME!!!

This could be used for the yearbook staff! We would be portrayed as villains! Last year some of the teachers tried to do this, but it did not work... Since the yearbook staff would be doing it, it would look awesome!

Comic book

So... I think that a comic book theme would be amazing! We should put our staff pictures as villains in the back behind bars or something else... Also, for the sports lay out we could do cut outs of the main big picture and have comic book Bam!s and Pow!s, but do a better job than I did in this picture. I still haven't thought about sub themes, though

Comic Book

Freshmen: Civilians

Sophomores: Butlers

Juniors: Sidekicks

Seniors: Heroes

Mr. Roberts mentioned wanting a simpler, lighter background so we could do something like this:

http://spc-yearbooks.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Yearbook-theme-ideas-even-more-comic-book-style-theme-ideas.jpg 

It may be a little cartoony but it's simple.

I'm just adding to what's going on on Kera's post.

Buggin' Out

Buggin' out

Burke had a cool idea for this layout theme:

Freshman: Eggs
Sophomore: Caterpillars
Junior: Cocoons
Seniors: Butterflies!!

Dont really have any other ideas so far. Josie, you might???

Hands

Theme Hands 

Cheer-Spirit Fingers

Speech And Drama-Sock Puppets

Graduation-High five

basketball-Follow through

volleyball -something to do with spiking

gardening club- piece

Grade levels- Year of graduating

......any other ideas?

COMIC BOOK THEME OMG !!1!!!!11

Possible themes for the Comic Book (Super hero?) theme:

Freshman: Sidekicks
Sophomores:
Juniors:
Seniors:

Staff: Super Villains (why not?)

For sports layouts they could be titled with cliche comic book onomatopoeia?

I found really easy photoshop tutorials on how to edit photos to appear comic book like, we could use that on the cover?

We could also title the pages with speech bubbles or those thought boxes (Isaac don't slam me on this I only read Deadpool comics okay, I don't have the lingo) and the articles/photo captions could be formatted in that way too.

Anybody want to add some ideas and criticism?

we could do on the edge as a theme! what are some ideas??

Yearbook Themes

+ Bugin' Out

+ Monsters

+ Comic book/ Superheros

+ Movie theme

+ Song lyrics

+ Picture is worth 2015 words

+ Dinosaurs

+ It's a wrap

+ Brave New World

+ Just press play

+ With these hands

The Big Mistakes I Found

• When you are writing names, you write, "(grade) Michael Roberts" the first time, and, "Roberts" every other time.
• Numbers under 100 are spelled out (forty-nine, first place, fifteen feet).
• Don't write anything in the caption that was in the article.
• Freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior are not capitalized.

More things to check:

• 80-81: Capitalization rules on districts and state, etc.
• 90-91: Chelsea Murphy’s grade
• Dane Dixon’s grade

Need to make videos

ASAP

We need a girls basketball video made for the basketball banquet. Best if we have interviews with seniors and maybe Hansen. We can sell them at the banquet.

We need a season video for a State Champs assembly and banquet.

Both videos can be used for the Video Yearbook.

Here's how to do the titling/ subtheme

Title fill: lighter color
Title stroke: darker color
Subtheme fill: same as the title stroke
Subtheme stroke: white
Add an outer bevel and emboss to both by selecting the text box and going to object > effects > bevel and emboss. Make sure to select "outer" in the style tab.
You can choose your own colors, just make sure they match your layout without blending in to the background.

If you have any questions, ask me.
