People often ask about the process behind creating yearbook themes—how we come up with ideas, what inspires the designs, and what steps go into making them both creative and versatile. To help answer those questions, I’ve gathered the most common ones I hear, along with insights into how we approach theme development.

– Allison Vecchio, Design Director

– Ashlyn Wong, Associate Graphic Designer

Q: What’s the first step you take when creating a theme for a yearbook?

Allison: The very first step is listening. We start with focus groups, inviting editors and advisers to react to early design inspiration and share what excites them. That feedback becomes ourcompass—it points us toward where to explore next. From there, the design team dives into inspiration.

Q: Where do you look for inspiration?

Allison: Inspiration comes from anywhere and everywhere—online platforms like Pinterest and Designspiration, opening credits in films and series, the type treatments on city signage, or the latest work from leading agencies like Pentagram. We also keep a close eye on current graphic design trends. Those pieces come together in a mood board, much like a collection of magazine tears, so we can see the direction starting to take shape. We cast a wide net at first, then refine and narrow down as we go.

One of the biggest themes actually came directly from our users during a focus group. The Gallery theme idea originated in a focus group session where a few customers described looking through a yearbook as feeling like walking through a gallery.

And, the idea for Gallery was born!

My most recent spark came during a trip to Madrid, where I visited the Museo del Prado, and the Museo Reina Sofía. My creative mind expanded tenfold viewing works by the old masters whom I studied years ago, such as Caravaggio, El Greco, Fra Angelico, and Heironymus Bosch.

Q: How do you decide what to design?  

‍Allison: Our process is customer-focused and data-driven. After running focus groups, we analyze the usage data in our application to see which themes are trending across schools. We combine that with customer feedback to understand why something resonates. Once we have that insight, the design team begins exploring themes that can work across different grade levels and schools.

Many questions come into play when we think about what to design. Does the theme make sense for all genders? Will it look too feminine, or too masculine? How can we achieve a healthy balance? Is this primarily for an elementary school, or could it be designed in a manner to apply to all grade levels?

Q: How do you choose your color palette and typography to match the theme?

Ashlyn: Color and typography decisions always begin with exploration and testing. We build out several palette and type combinations, then test them — dropping them into sample spreads, pairing them with backgrounds, and checking legibility. We look at how bold or neutral tones interact with student photography, and we make adjustments based on feedback from internal collaboration. It’s a cycle of experimenting, testing, and refining until the theme feels balanced and cohesive.

Q: How do you create the artwork?

Allison: In our focus groups, customers told us they wanted the same collection of graphics across every theme. We set out to do this by working with illustrators to create bespoke artwork. Finding the right illustrator takes time. We review portfolios until we find one whose aesthetic aligns with the concept. For example, with the Gallery theme, we partnered with illustrator Ekaterina, whose warm, approachable style was a perfect fit. She created more than 100 illustrations that together gave the theme the feeling of walking through a gallery.

Q: Which past theme are you most proud of and why?

Ashlyn: The focus groups revealed that records and decades were popular, and we really wanted to give our users a full, cohesive theme that could synthesize these concepts. For the Record stands out because it challenged us to unify five distinct decades into one cohesive theme. Although we hit roadblocks and had to pivot several times, the final product was something fun, flexible, and unique. I’m proud of the way our team was able to not only fulfill our customers’ requests despite challenges, but problem-solve to create something revolutionary.

‍Allison: The themes that stand out most for me are the ones I see schools using again and again. Dream Big is one that always gives me the feels. It carries the charm of a children’s book, with richly illustrative backgrounds I created in Photoshop. Small details—a child holding a kite or soaring into the sky—symbolize limitless potential, inspiring students with the idea that they can achieve anything they set their minds to.

Making a yearbook with Treering's online software is as simple as drag and drop.

New for the 2025-2026 school year, Treering’s free yearbook curriculum has expanded. From a new adviser handbook to 40 standalone lessons, you can take a recess from yearbook planning stress and put effort into yearbook production.

What’s new?

Teachers updated Treering’s previous curriculum. Another group of teachers tested it. We can confidently say it is teacher-authored and teacher-approved.

Each of the eight student-facing modules has a pacing guide and instructional slides. The pacing guides give you an overview of each module’s five grab-and-go lessons, including teaching resources, should you choose to expand instructional time. If it’s your first time teaching yearbook, the pacing guide also breaks down terminology used and shows connections between lessons.

Each lesson also includes Google Slides with

• Learning target
• Bell ringer
• Interactive lesson with guided student practice
• Exit ticket

You do enough. However, Treering knows no two schools/classes/clubs are alike, so we made our free curriculum 100% editable. 

‍Curriculum FAQs

‍What’s free?

Everything. Charging extra for resources and support isn’t our thing. 

‍How can I use the curriculum if I only have a club?

The first lesson in each module is a standalone one designed to give you the foundation for teambuilding, theme, design, writing, photography, marketing, and proofing. We recommend club groups do these eight lessons throughout the year.

‍Is Treering’s curriculum only for new yearbook students? 

No, it is for yearbook creators of all backgrounds.

If you have mixed abilities in your class, we suggest:

• Using leaders to teach the first lesson in each module
• Flipping instruction: ask students to go through the slides on their own and be prepared to do the practice session in class
• Use mentor pairs for hands-on activities

‍Do I have to use Treering to use your yearbook curriculum?

Some theme, design, marketing, and editing lessons involve Treering tools.

‍Module 5: Writing

Many times, students tell us they don’t want to add copy to the yearbook because “no one reads it.” Captions, stories, and pull quotes add to the visual story. These voices provide the context, insider information, and even names for your photos. 

They are worthy of pursuit.

Module 5 learning targets:

• Identify the different forms of captions: ident, summary, and expanded.
• Examine photographs to identify key information to craft summary and expanded captions.
• Define the five common topics. 
• Structure an interview.
• Synthesize and interview by writing body copy and captions.

Module 6 learning targets:

• Identify the composition elements of a photo and evaluate.
• Photograph a subject using six angles.
• Compose an image using natural and artificial light sources.

‍

We’ve got something exciting to share: Treering just got a bold new look.

After months of collaboration, exploration, and a lot of thoughtful design work, we’re thrilled to unveil a refreshed brand identity, one that better reflects who we are today and where we’re headed.

Turning the page

We’ve moved away from the softer, muted tones of the past and embraced a more vibrant, energetic palette that speaks to the creativity and joy at the heart of what we do.

Our new logo is a small thing that says a lot—it’s clean and modern, but it also holds meaning. The icon forms a “T” for Treering, doubles as an open book, and symbolizes our approachable, flexible platform. It’s our mission, captured in a single shape: helping people turn everyday moments into memories that last.

Why we did this

This wasn’t just about updating fonts and colors. We took a step back to reflect on who we are as a team, what makes Treering unique, and how we want to show up — for schools, parents, and now, for travel brands through Treering Memories. 

After 16 years of innovating how memories are captured, shared, and preserved in the school space, we’re expanding our vision. Treering is evolving into a full Memory-as-a-Service platform, extending our technology and expertise beyond yearbooks to meet the growing demand for smart, personalized memory solutions across industries. With Treering Memories, we’re bringing the same intuitive experience, powerful AI, and just-in-time printing to the travel world by helping brands turn unforgettable trips into meaningful, lasting keepsakes.

The new visual identity balances the warmth of nostalgia with a fresh, modern sensibility. Our photography style is more candid and vibrant, our typography is clean and bold, and everything is built to work seamlessly—whether in a yearbook or in a photo memory book from a travel adventure.

‍

What’s next

We’re heading into the school year with renewed energy, and now a look that matches it. But while our visuals have changed, what we care about hasn’t. We’re still the same team, focused on helping people capture and celebrate meaningful moments with care, creativity, and technology that makes it all easier. This year, we’re rolling out smarter tools to simplify yearbook creation, along with fresh new themes designed to give schools even more ways to personalize and elevate their books. It's all part of our ongoing commitment to making yearbooking easier, more intuitive, and more inspiring for everyone involved. We can’t wait to show you what’s next. Let’s make this school year unforgettable, together.

• Yearbook quick start
• Going print ready
• Design ideas
• Social media tips

From start to finish, Treering will be by your side.

1. No contracts, no commitment

We offer a $0 financial commitment to all of our school partners. There are no minimum orders, no commitments, and never any leftover books. Parents and students can purchase a copy of their yearbook directly from Treering's sales portal. We only print what’s ordered, which means there won’t be any additional cost to your school.

2. Easy, yet powerful software

We make things easier on you so you're not always the last one in the building this spring. The headaches from building your portrait pages and designing your book are magically cured with powerful automated tools and template-based, drag-and-drop pages.

Treering's easy, yet powerful yearbook design software

Making a yearbook is a lot of work, but it can be fun too.

3. Affordable prices

We believe that every student should have the right to celebrate their year through the culture of the yearbook. We’re democratizing the yearbook and making it affordable for everyone by investing in technology to improve efficiencies and keep costs down.

4. Personalized pages

Ever struggle to make sure each student feels included in your yearbook? With Treering every student gets two free, uniquely printed pages, so they can fill their yearbook with personal memories. Since parents and students use our template-based software to create their own pages, there is no extra work for you, the yearbook editor. But don't worry, unless you invite them, parents and students cannot work on the yearbook itself. That's still in the hands of you and your yearbook team.

5. School fundraiser

We're helping schools regain control of their budgets: Treering gives you the ability to add a fundraiser amount to the cost of each yearbook. We also make selling recognition ads (should you want to) super easy: just set the price per size and let parents decide if they'd like to purchase. Since we only print the books that are purchased, your fundraising efforts can fund new laptops or a STEM program rather than covering the cost of leftover books.

6. Premium quality

All Treering yearbooks are gorgeously printed in both softcover and hardcover with upgrade options such as gold or silver foil and embossing. We laminate hardcover books and UV coat our softcover books to provide extra durability. Moments are over in seconds, but memories—and your Treering yearbook—will last forever.

7. Three-week turnaround

Once you've finished designing your yearbook we'll get it to you within three weeks. Period. That means you can now include (nearly) the entire year's worth of activities in the yearbook. Treering Yearbooks are printed in the USA.

8. Collaborative

Everyone’s a photographer now, right? Treering makes it easy to source photos for your yearbook from parents and students by allowing your yearbook team to create shared folders. When parents and students create their free accounts to purchase a yearbook, they can also add photos to designated folders (i.e. Fun Run). You still get to pick and choose which ones you’ll use, but you’ll have a lot more to select from.

9. Online payments

Yearbook editors tell us how much they love to design, but how little they like to collect money for yearbook sales. Treering gives your community the ability to purchase their yearbook directly online. We’ll collect the money and keep track of sales, freeing you up to do more of what you love: making a beautiful yearbook.

10. CAT has your back

Having a great business model and product is one thing, and sometimes you need a little more. A little more help to make your yearbook experience a great one. Your Community Advocate Team (CAT) will have you covered with 100's of videos and how-to articles, along with phone and email support. No more waiting for someone to come back from vacation to help you: at Treering we have a team of passionate yearbook experts to help you whenever you might want a little extra.

POV is more than a social media trend, it's the call to reflect the diverse perspectives and students in our halls. So, how do you capture every student in the yearbook? Here's how we help you take control of crowdsourcing and collaboration with built-in collaboration tools.

Collaborate Using Shared Folders

After you decide what content you need, we help you organize the year with shared folders. There's no limit to how many you make.

We Love This Because You Can...

1. Create one folder per classroom teacher
2. Share email links to sports team folders for coaches and boosters
3. Use #photodropFriday social posts to direct submissions to an event folder

Pull photos from Social Media

After taking a pic of our loved ones, our first instinct is to post and share it on our social channels, not with the yearbook coordinator. Treering Yearbooks' Facebook and Instragram integrations make it easy for your yearbook to get social.

We Love This Because You Can...

• Add your chaperone snaps to a shared field trip folder
• Build custom pages using your feed

Multiple Permissions Allows for Collaboration

Collaboration tools are a major component of our yearbook software on the design side as well. Yearbook coordinators and advisers decide the size and access permissions for their teams on an individual basis (we know there's no one-size-fits-all here).

We Love This Because You Can...

• Limit folder permissions for student yearbook team
• Assign a page or two to parent volunteers
• Leave notes on spread and lock completed pages
• Partner with the school photographer for the portrait spreads

Stunning, Sturdy, Scuff-Resistant Covers

Hardcover? Check. Softcover? Yup. Soft-touch matte finish? Mais Oui! Glossy finish? For sure! Want to give your cover something a bit extra? We've got silver and gold foil to add a little more sparkle, and embossing options to add a little more lift. Whatever you and your students can dream up, we create using a superior quality laminate to protect your cover.

And they are all printed in the USA.

Completely Customizable Covers

Your cover can be as unique as your students. With the option of an 8.5x11 and 9x12 size book, you can have the flexibility to get your yearbook to look precisely how you want.

Though we have hundreds of professionally designed themes at your disposal, including our Heritage Collection, we won't limit your creativity. Hold a yearbook cover contest with your community; let your students decide what it should be. Ask your art class to come up with something representative of your year.

Sustainable Memories

In today's digital age, where everything happens on screens, it's amazing how a high-quality yearbook can seem so... special. We print better than HD quality photos on our 100 lb, sustainably sourced paper stock. Because we care about both the quality and global impact of the yearbooks we create.

Bound to Hold Your Memories Together for Lifetimes

All our yearbooks are bound with PUR Perfect adhesive to hold each page safely in place for a lifetime. Both hardcover and softcover books will stand the test of time. What's more, our softcover binding doesn't crack when you open it, meaning you can add your school name to the spine to make it look great on the shelf.

Moments are over in seconds, but memories—and your Treering yearbook—will last forever.

Making a yearbook is a lot of work, but it can be fun too. We built our yearbook software to take away as much of the hard work as possible, so you and your yearbook staff can focus on the fun stuff. No more fighting with changes in portraits or keeping track of yearbook purchases; whether it's making your yearbook, managing your yearbook staff, or collaborating with your community, we eliminate the pain so you can focus on capturing your school's year in a beautiful yearbook.

Manage your yearbook program like a pro

Call it your very own mission control. Right from your dashboard, you can see who has purchased and who hasn't. See a running total of how much money you have raised for your school throughout the year.

Work from anywhere

For the parents in your community who are on the go, they can do everything from their mobile devices. They can add photos to your community's shared folders, design their student's custom pages, and purchase their student's yearbook while waiting in the pickup line.

Assign roles and permissions to your yearbook staff

Grant some users an all-access pass to your yearbook by making them the Chief Editor, or limit their responsibilities by making them a Staff Editor or Restricted Staff Editor. Some people on your yearbook team may only need to add photos or edit text, while others need more responsibility. The choice is yours!

Your entire yearbook staff will be able to edit only those pages you have assigned them, making it clear for the editors to understand their responsibilities and easy for you to manage in one place.

Make suggestions and share ideas on each page within the book. Get notified each time you go in to edit the book if there are new notes, comments, or questions to read.

Once a page is finished, the editors of that page can mark it complete. Now you know their progress (and the big picture). Your finished pages are safe from unintended edits.

Keep track of all your students

Treering's yearbook software will automatically build an index for your yearbook. Never again worry about making sure each student gets equal coverage in the yearbook, or trying to make the index yourself.

Never again worry if a photo has been used on a previous page. Or how many times each student is in the yearbook. With Treering you can tag students in each of your photos, and easily see which photos have and have not already been used.

Easy layout creation

Save time and easily create your yearbook with theme-driven, drag-and-drop templates. Powerful tools and an intuitive interface give you the easiest yearbook software you'll ever use.

Auto layout

Organizing photos perfectly on a page can be tedious, but it shouldn't be. With Treering, just select the photos you want on a page and our yearbook software will automatically drop them into a beautifully designed layou

‍

If InDesign is more your thing, no problem, you can upload all the designs you'd like.

Portrait auto flow

Point, click, grab some coffee. Yearbook portrait pages are no longer painful. Automatically arrange yearbook portraits. Customize the page layout. Make changes easily. Boom. Between 40-60% of your book is complete, and if you want to add more content to your portrait pages, you can.

Perfectly aligned photos in a snap

It is nearly impossible to manually ensure each photo is centered and aligned on a page perfectly. We've made it possible by adding gridlines that don't get printed, but make book-building a breeze. If you'd like to make it even easier, you can have all your photos snap to the grid. Oh snap! With this kind of precision, you'll feel confident knowing your book will look perfect.

E-commerce

Raise Money with recognition ads

Set your price per size, and let our yearbook software do the rest. When parents log in to buy the book, they will be given the opportunity to purchase one or donate one. Parents get to celebrate their children, and you get to provide your school some extra money to cover the cost of new cameras, field trips, or whatever you might need.

Online marketing and photo-sourcing

School community involvement in the yearbook is crucial, whether that's making them aware of how to buy the book, help contribute photos, or participate in the annual yearbook signing party, you need your community to be involved. We've got you covered from yearbook sales and online purchases to digital signature capabilities.
‍

Crowdsource yearbook photos

Get more photos for your yearbook by sourcing them from your parents, students, and teachers. With Treering's yearbook software you can create shared photo folders to which your entire community can add photos.

Build your own shared folders for your yearbook staff to use for everything from retakes and doubles to sports and clubs. You can also create a private spot for just you and your yearbook editors rather than the entire community.

Upload photos from anywhere

We understand that all communities store school photos in different places, so we've made sure that our yearbook software will easily allow you to upload from anywhere. Facebook, Instagram? Yup. Google Drive, Google Photos? Got it. Or if you've got photos on your mobile phone or desktop, we can upload them from there too, whatever is best for you.

Yearbook sales made simple

Treering doesn't make your school commit to minimum orders meaning no financial pressure, but it's still something you'll want to do, so we wanted to make it easy. You can add links to your community's Facebook page. You can send emails directly to just those parents who haven't yet purchased. On top of all this, we have a bunch of professionally designed flyers for you to use. If you'd like to have some printed, no problem, we'll do that for free, cause fees just aren't our thing.

Keep your yearbook community accurate

Sometimes students change schools, or a parent accidentally creates two accounts. Our yearbook software helps you keep your community organized. You can quickly merge or separate student accounts, and add or remove students throughout the year as things change.

Even more to love

E-signatures

Technology has changed the way students socialize. With Treering's software, students can e-sign their friends' yearbooks with photos and stickers which can be printed on their free custom pages just in their yearbook. 

Ensure consistent design throughout the yearbook

Set the theme, photo styles, text styles, and more in one place for your entire yearbook. Define all of it, none of it, or just some of it—whatever fits your yearbook style.

Favorites

With so many professionally designed templates, it could be easy to forget where you and your yearbook staffs' favorite ones are. Simply click the stars on the ones you like and they will all be in one spot moving forward.

Financially risk-free and school programming don't intersect often. When they do, pay attention. Traditionally a yearbook program begins with a deposit, requires minimum orders, and ends with an invoice. That's no fun! Certain schools cannot pay to play. Others can't afford to remain in the (yearbook) game. Would you believe there is another way? (Say yes, and keep reading.)

Does my School Need a Yearbook Program?

Teachers, administrators, and parent groups seek opportunities to enhance the student experience, foster community spirit, and leave a lasting impact. A yearbook program checks all those boxes at once. A yearbook isn’t just a book; it’s a time capsule. It captures the essence of each school year— friendships, achievements, trends, and more. Whether it’s the class photo or the quirky candid shots from the pep rally, the yearbook immortalizes memories that would otherwise fade away.

How to Get Started

Here’s a handy checklist to get your yearbook program off the ground:

• Gather your team: assemble a yearbook committee—teachers, parents, and students who share a passion for preserving memories.
• Find a publishing partner: the right fit here can make all. the. difference. Talk to company representatives, ask for a sample to see the quality, and be sure you understand what you can afford.
• Arrange training for your yearbook team.
• Spread the word: let everyone know about the exciting yearbook project. Generate buzz among students, parents, and staff. Treering has plenty of free marketing tools and ideas. (Even if you don't choose us!) 
• Plan Ahead: set deadlines for photo submissions, design, and ordering. Keep everyone in the loop.
• Celebrate the Unveiling: host a yearbook reveal event. Popcorn, excitement, and memories galore!

The Treering Difference

Just thinking yearbook, may be overwhelming. It's one more proverbial ball to juggle. That’s why Treering focuses on making things as easy as possible for everyone involved: yearbook team members, front office staff, teachers, parents, and students.

No Deposits, Contracts, or Minimimus

Schools can afford Treering's financially transparent and risk-free approach because we don't saddle schools with yearbook debt, contracts, guaranteed minimums, or hidden costs. Phew. Removing those huge hurdles at the outset lets you focus on creating a high-quality yearbook highlighting the best moments and events.

Yes to Personalization and Support

Custom pages are a hit with students and families who have the option to include two free personalized pages that appear only in their copy.

Treering schools never pay extra for

• Training and support
• Moving deadlines
• Yearbook themes, clip art, and fonts
• Creating a custom yearbook cover
• Using portraits from any photographer

Additionally, the on-demand printing process means you’ll get lots more coverage of spring events and sports. Treering only prints what you order, so there are no overruns.

A Tradition Worth Starting

Starting a yearbook program establishes a special tradition within your school community. Imagine the excitement during the yearbook reveal, the buzz as students eagerly flip through its glossy pages and the pride of seeing their own faces alongside their peers.

Remember, a yearbook isn’t just a book; it’s a legacy. So, go ahead—start your school’s yearbook journey with Treering. Your families and students will cherish the memories and you’ll be able to showcase all the great things happening in your school community! You’ve got great stories to share and Treering can help.

Treering would like to thank Dara Arouh, a Georgia-based yearbook mom of two, for contributing this blog.

Here at Treering, we keep school yearbook prices simple. Your yearbook pricing has two factors: page count and cover type. With this all-inclusive approach, there are no minimum orders, shipping costs, contracts, or hidden fees to consider, and your team will have access to everything they need (templates, design tools, support, and more). This way, you don't need to go searching all around the internet for "Treering Coupons."

But if you did that—and ended up here—we'll give you the inside scoop on how we approach discounts, so you know when and how you can save money.

Treering Coupons for Parents and Students

Treering discounts school yearbook prices in the fall. This early purchase discount is a marketing tool for advisers to gain momentum for book sales and it helps parents lock in a great price. We think it’s a win-win-win.

Here’s how the discount schedule works:

• August: 10% off
• September: 10% off
• October: 10% off

Because these discounts are automatically built in, parents and students don’t even need Treering coupons to take advantage of the deal. They’ll automatically get the sale price when they pre-pay. 

Treering Coupons for Yearbook Advisers

When yearbook advisers work with Treering, they can score their friends a great deal on their school’s yearbook prices while also earning free books for their school.

Here’s how it works:

• Yearbook advisers using Treering share their special referral coupon code with friends and fellow yearbook advisers.
• When yearbook advisers sign up their schools with Treering for the first time, they can use that special coupon code to receive 10% off their school’s yearbook prices.
• The yearbook advisers who shared the code earn up to 10 free yearbooks for their school each time those new schools sell their first yearbook through Treering.
