Using Yearbook 360 and Online Design Manual

APPLYING TEMPLATES AND MASTER PAGES

Once you have made all the decisions associated with planning your yearbook and you have reviewed the basics of the Yearbook 360 Page Editor, it’s time to start building spreads. Many yearbook staffs start with templates. A template is a standard design created or selected by the staff to appear throughout each section of the book. Staffs use templates to build unity and consistency in theme and design. In Yearbook 360, templates are managed in the Plan Book area. This section of the manual will outline: • Creating custom templates CREATING A CUSTOM TEMPLATE If your yearbook staff is fortunate enough to have designers who want the blank slate and free rein to create their own templates, Yearbook 360 allows them to convert an original spread into a custom template within Online Design. To save a spread as a custom template: 1. Open a spread in an Online Design session. 2. When your template is complete and ready to be saved, go to File > Save As Custom Template . • Assigning templates to pages • Working with master pages
