A collage is a mash-up of photographs for the yearbook title page that provdies a traditional but lovable approach. When students or group participants open up the yearbook, they find a kaleidoscopic range of the year's memories, all compressed into one page. If you have large pages, consider adding larger photos from school events, extracurricular activities and sports games. Including both funny, sweet, posed and candid shots of people will invite readers to enjoy lingering on the title page, looking for themselves and others.
When readers open the yearbook, letting them see the handwriting of fellow students is a tender way to lead them into photographic memories. When designing the title page, you can ask all students or participants to sign their names using their unique handwriting style. They do not have to write in cursive or write anything else. Some signatories will probably want to write their names huge across the page; other will want to write in microscopic letters. Letting everyone be themselves, signatures will capture the signer's persona at that time in their lives. The heart-shaped dotted i's and sloppy cursive scrawls could be worth a lot someday, as a preservation of a person's hand.
The title page can introduce readers to their fellow student or group member's favorite songs and song lyrics. Invite a number of students picked at random (around 100 if space allows) and ask them to choose a lyric from a song that means a lot to them that year. Writing out the song lyric, the name of the song and the artist, you can either type up the list of song lyrics or keep the songs in handwritten form. As an entry point to remembering the year---and the people with whom they have shared the year---the songs lyrics invite readers to explore more quotes and pictures inside the book.
