Friends Forever - YEARBOOK
whispers65
Posts: 952
I am working on a big project and being close to the end of the school year thought it would be fun to do a yearbook for my fictional characters.
I am looking for templates of all kinds. Most stuff I find when searching is basically sign up, tell us the school u are with and use our stuff for free if we print them. Doesn't work for me since it is all fiction.
so any ideas? I am more than happy to buy templates.
I could make my own. I just get tired of every idea turning into recreating the atom from scratch every time.
my project is about 3 friends from birth to death.
thanks for any ideas.

I don't get it, can you explain deeper please? If it is to be turned into a presentation, if you have MS Office (I bet you do), there are dozens of free templates to be downloaded from Microsoft's site for free.
What 2d editing software do you use?
Not everyone has or uses MS office, I don't.
Are you looking for an actual 3D yearbook or something different?
Some use open office instead of MS office.
Either MS Office (usually shipped, at least in my country, with laptops) or LibreOffice. Still, this is the kind of programmes each computer user needs (documents, spreadsheets, presentations). I guess LibreOffice may be similar, but from my experiences, PowerPoint 2011 (I haven't checked any newer versions) is a good software for postwork.
I do have office but never used a template before so wasn't thinking along that line. The photos of teachers students or activities will be renders. I haven't done scrapbooking, templates or anything like it so was hoping for a package set that provided everything where I would pick a layout and modify if needed and then add pictures etc.
definitely want to export to PDF and if it was interactive that would be great too.
I plan on doing multiple years from grade school through college.
Then use one of the provided templates. They will take care of spacing, colours, fonts, additional pictures and so on. You can start browsing them from here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates.
They're pretty useful, because you can preview them, apply one and then further customise it. In PowerPoint, making it interactive will be much easier than in Word, although if you use hyperlinks, it can be done too. If you'd like some help on that, I am strongly into the package using it every day for work, so perhaps I can help :).

Thanks. I will keep it in mind. I'm moving everyone at the office so by the time I get home I'm exhausted but will have some time this weekend to look.
It's really funny to me though. I have been using Word for ever but I use it to write novels only so I don't venture out much into its capabilities.
Glad to hear you find it useful :). Yes, the site has many good things and since you have MS Office, you can use them for various purposes. Even for photomanipulations.
You may also want to check out templates for PowerPoint, since you could even make a film in it (I don't know how to use any video-editing software, so I create films in PowerPoint). I can imagine the awe you put your friends in when you show them a short video with your renders :). It doesn't even have to be short. For instance, some of mine last for about half an hour, but certainly you can make them longer (saving will take time though, so prepare a source of energy nearby).
Here are some free collage templates: http://www.scrapbooksetc.com/layouts/collage/downloads/

Also, if you have Photoshop, Tych Panel is pretty epic for creating collages automagically. It's free too.

Comic Life 3 has a yearbook template. It runs about $30 USD for the software I believe but it's dead easy to use. All you do is import your photo into each "window" and the program resizes the photo for you. (although if it is too big, sometimes it crops it.) It can do text effects and word balloons because it is designed as comic book/journaling software.
there's a 30 day free trial if you want to try it out.
Then you can export the finished product to .pdf or other formats.
the company is plasq and they have a .com website.
Thank you very much! I downloaded a trial version just to see what it is like but I like it already. Here is a quick one minute test page. The Yearbook option has about 20 templates, mostly student photos but it looks like it gives me the tools to design my own pages but even what they have is pretty nice, at least for me.
Thanks again for the info. I will purchase it.
Looks like it didn't take the pic. I'll try again.
