Sprayed edge books have become a standout feature in publishing, especially in romance and fantasy. Thanks to BookTok, readers are loving the colourful, artistic edges that turn books into keepsakes.

At Friesens, we’re thrilled to be part of it. With our new sprayed edge machine, we’ve been creating eye-catching designs for publishers across North America and Europe. Along the way, we’ve learned what works best, and what to watch out for. Check out our blog for more: https://bit.ly/3HvYxk0

Great yearbooks don’t just happen; they’re built on the lessons we’ve learned and a clear vision for what’s next. It starts with taking a look at the past year's yearbook and determining what you loved, what was just okay, and what you can improve on.

Yearbook fonts can make or break your yearbook design. Even science says so: A Microsoft researcher found in two different studies that good use of fonts can make a person feel better and can make them feel like they're reading for shorter amounts of time!

To help you create a font strategy for your yearbook, we've included a font poster in the Friesens Yearbook Kit to hang in your classroom for an at-a-glance resource! One of our fab Project Specialist, Joanne, is showcasing it in front of the machine many of your books are bound on!

Your kit on its way to you right now, so keep an eye out for it (if you haven't gotten your 2025/26 Yearbook Kit by mid-September, let your Print Sales Consultant know!).

It's one thing to tell the story of your school year. But you need to show it as well...photography is such an important part of creating a yearbook, and we have a photography "best practices" poster included in your Friesens Yearbook Kit to hang in your classroom. It's an essential resource to help your photographers know what to keep in mind when they're on the hunt for that perfect shot! It's shown here by one of our Project Specialists, Jackie, and the words we live by at Friesens!

It's just one piece of a collection of resources in your Yearbook Kit. If you haven't gotten yours by mid-September, your Print Sales Consultant can help you!

Good design and layout are tied to the readability of your book and the emotion it evokes. It's more than just slapping some photos and captions together! Along with all the other fabulous resources in your Friesens Yearbook Kit is a Design & Layout poster (shown here by Friesens Erin, our Yearbook Administration Manager) to hang in your classroom for an easy "at-a-glance" reference. You can also reach out to your Project Specialist if you ever have questions!

Your Yearbook Kit should be in your hands any day now (if you haven't gotten it already)! If you haven't received it by mid-September, get in touch with your Print Consultant.

When we showed you the "Make Your Colours Pop" poster that's in your Friesens Yearbook Kit, we talked about the importance of choosing colours wisely. Also in your Yearbook Kit is the Friesens Process Colour Guide...what THIS does is helps you choose not only the best colours, but shows you how it will print on Friesens presses!

Much like your toaster at home toasts differently than the toaster at your school, even though it's the same setting, colours will look different on different computer monitors. The Friesens Process Colour Guide (shown here at our HP 50000 press with Project Specialist Kevin Peters) gives you the CMYK code you need to ensure all colours are consistent throughout your yearbook, no matter what computer you are using.

If you haven't gotten your Yearbook Kit by mid-September, get in touch with your Print Sales Consultant!
