Cover Guidelines: 

 
Any text that you want on your cover should be within the purple safety zone. Any text outside the safety zone may be cut off.
 
If you have a background, it should be pulled all the way out to the red bleed line.
The blue lines in the center of the page represent your spine. If you would like to add text to your spine, add a text box to your page.  Once your text box is on the page, select it so the blue circles appear around it. 
 
Type the text that you want on the spine. Then, rotate the text box by clicking on the larger blue dot that is slightly extended from the text box and dragging the dot around to rotate the box. 

Rotate your school name so that the bottom of the title sits on the left side of the spine (shown below). This will ensure that the spine will exist in the proper direction on your cover.

 

Cover Dimensions:

You can find your specific cover directions while in the cover designer below the cover design. 

 

*Please Note your cover dimensions will differ based on your cover type and page count. Please consult your account manager if you are designing your cover in a different software and need assistance with your cover size. 

Pre-Designed Covers

If you do not want to spend a lot of time and energy designing your own cover, we have a library of Pre-Designed covers that you can choose from for your yearbook project. You can find these covers under the Background button.

Look for the category of Pre-Designed Covers, which will appear alphabetically under the list of background categories.

All Pre-Designed covers will automatically scale to the size of the cover that you have.

You can find additional cover designs under templates. First you will need to select the template button:

Next, select the category Covers:

 

The cover templates will automatically scale to fit your cover design. Be sure to change any text on the cover to your school name and project year.
