The Big Event Yearbook Workshop - Why it's great and why it exists

On Tuesday September 30th we will welcome over two hundred keen Yearbook editors at our annual Yearbook workshop. The Big Event Workshop is the main "kick off" to the school year as schools from all over Ontario attend and take part in a great networking experience. Augmented Reality is the BIG draw this year and I can't remember a time when there was such excitement in the air. How do you make the Yearbook come alive? How do you add depth to the pages and give even more value to the students? Why not utilize their smartphone or tablet? It's cool and everyone is blown away when they see it. I can't wait to see everyone at the workshop! www.bigeventworkshop.com #bigeventworkshop

Crossing Borders To Help

As we approach our fifteenth anniversary representing Herff Jones it seems fitting that we try to help even more people. In fact why not try helping Yearbook staffs we may never meet!  This week we launched "A Survival Guide For Yearbook Advisers". Our first ebook is now available on Smashwords, Google Books and has been accepted by Apple,Kobo and Kindle as well. We expect the book to be available on all platforms within a couple of days. Exciting! We expect more volumes to come as we continue to help more people create great Yearbooks. While the ebook is a new format for us,our mission has not changed. Help people make great Yearbooks by using the latest technology, best software and just good old fashioned advice and sometimes a shoulder to lean on. Enjoy the week. Life is good.
