260 schools

From Amanda at Endeavour College...
Our experience producing a yearbook with Openbook Howden was simply ‘easy’. They worked with us to enhance the artwork with unique ideas that gave the entire publication real personality. From fonts, colours and paper stock each element was selected to enhance the look and feel of the yearbook. When issues arose, as they always will, the assistance and support given to us was exceptional. For a unique and personalised yearbook service we would highly recommend the team at Openbook Howden.
Amanda Stephenson | Endeavour College - Adelaide
From Brittany at Loreto...
Loreto College have been working with OBH for the past three years to produce their annual Yearbook and have built a really strong working relationship during this time. The quality of the design and print has been outstanding, meeting our needs from not only a cost aspect, but producing a high quality product for our College community. We continue to work with OBH on other collateral and publication work due to the high attention to detail and outstanding communication and understanding of our needs from a traditional marketing perspective.
We pride ourselves on getting to know your college and creating a unique publication.
our partnership approach...
We work collaboratively with you from start to finish, providing technical support and advice.
Our yearbook options are flexible and are tailored to your requirements. Discuss with us your ideas for a completely customised design, or you could select from a diverse range of our templates if you prefer.
We provide project management to ensure your yearbooks are delivered on time. This includes developing and managing a schedule in consultation with you. Our team will communicate directly with you each step of the way ensuring on-time delivery.
Our processes are to ensure excellence in your experience. We understand that no two client’s requirements are the same and our approach will be carefully tailored to your unique needs. At OBH, nothing is too much trouble!
From Jodi at Rouse Hill Anglican College...
We have loved partnering with Open Book Howden in printing our Yearbook for the past three years. They have been very generous with their help and time and always printed an outstanding quality yearbook that our families cherished.

your yearbook, your choice...
Whether you choose a fully customised, bespoke publication or an option from our template library, your yearbook will be one to be proud of.
Art supplied
What if your school has a yearbook coordinator or committee that puts together your school’s yearbook artwork?
Great! We offer a print only service where you supply your artwork and we can print it for you.
We are always happy to provide technical advice for supplying files or creative feedback on your designs.
Template design
Where budgets demand a more economical approach, OBH has introduced a library of design templates for you to choose from (see page 12 & 13), reducing the creative time for design.
When choosing a template theme you will work closely with one of our in-house creative designers and we will place school’s content and images into the selected design. This means that whilst you’ve used a template as a base, your yearbook will be unique and full of your school’s personality and achievements.
Fully customised
Our Creative Design team will work with you to create your fully customised, bespoke publication.
Meeting collaboratively with you, we document and unpack your creative brief so we can develop conceptual designs. We will build a production schedule and manage the project timeline whilst maintaining regular communication throughout. Refining the concepts and then developing the design and layout, we ensure the final yearbook is beautifully printed to your specifications, and delivered on time.
Discuss with us the best option for your school today.
collaboration is key...
Working with you to commemorate the events of the year gone by.
fully customised...
Our in-house team of creative designers work with you to produce inspiring and creative yearbooks.
Our creative team becomes an extension of your school or college. Working with you to understand your unique brand and values, we develop a design brief, concepts, and finished art that will reflect and celebrate your year.
Our specialist yearbook designers draw on years of experience when providing guidance and design direction to make your publication truly unique. Whether you need creative inspiration or printing expertise, our team can offer suggestions to make your yearbook stand out. Perhaps your pages could benefit from a distinctive image treatment or contouring, or would special cover finishes, paper stock or embellishments give the yearbook that extra pizazz you’re after? These are all things to consider, and choosing the customised option gives you the flexibility to make your yearbook extraordinary.
Our art department use the latest technology and Adobe Creative Suite to bring you a bespoke product which can be treasured and archived for many years to come. They work closely with our print team to ensure your yearbook is the epitome of print quality and finish.
An asset management system along with an easy to use file uploading process makes the job of supplying your files easy and convenient (refer to page 15).
In 2022 OBH spent more than 1,400 design hours on yearbooks
From Stephanie at Ivanhoe Grammar School...
Since meeting OBH, we have completed projects like a prospectus, presentation folder, yearbooks and biannual magazines, to name a few. We have been thrilled with OBH’s prompt and thorough communication style – they have been very attentive, professional and passionate about each project and have consistently gone above and beyond to ensure we are happy with the quality of work and service. We are grateful for the team at OBH and look forward to more years of collaboration.

managing & supplying files...
Providing a structured and simplified approach to managing your files.
Often the task of collating images and text for yearbooks can be a daunting and complicated one. Our team can take the stress out of this process by providing a system for organising and supplying your files.
Our checklist with six easy to follow steps make the project much more manageable.
Below is an example of the electronic filing system used.

Six simple steps for compiling your yearbook
Step 1 Collect all of the articles and photos required to be included in your yearbook.
Step 2 Make a list of the order in which you would like the articles to appear. We recommend using Microsoft Excel to create and manage this list. We will supply a sample spreadsheet.
Step 3 Create an electronic folder for each page of the yearbook, eg: Page 01, Page 02, etc.
Step 4 Within each folder place;
• Article text in a Word document
• Captions in a separate Word document (if required)
• Photos you want to include with the article
Step 5 Rename the photo files within each folder.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that no two photos are named the same across any of your folders. This can occur when naming photos for separate articles that relate to the same subject. This prevents the duplication of photos.
Step 6 Please proof read and edit each article BEFORE sending it to us. This step is important as it reduces the time spent on alterations after the yearbook has been designed.
the right colour makes all the difference...
colour correction...
Ensuring your photos are the best quality they can be.
Photographs make a yearbook, however with a range of sources and cameras, including phones, the quality and consistency can vary significantly.
Uniforms
Meticulous attention to reproduction of images and colour correction is a vital process which ensures the highest resolution of images for print, consistency of corporate colours, and natural skin tones.
Before Colour Correction
When printed directly from a supplied photograph, uniforms generally require a level of colour correction to accurately represent the uniform’s true colour.
After Colour Correction
In the above example, red is removed from the uniforms to prevent them from printing purple.
Snapshots
Before Colour Correction
Yearbook photos come from a variety of cameras and as a result vary in quality and colour.
After Colour Correction
Often colour correction is required to improve skin tone and to remove red eye.
Basketballer Callum Iseppi (Yr 10) was awarded MVP for the Open SAAS (Sports Association for Adelaide Schools) competition, the first time the award has been presented.
Heading back outside, Darcy McRostie (Yr 10) and Joshua Sims (Yr 11) have been selected in the Under 17 State Cricket team that is competing in the National Championships being held in Mackay, Queensland, as this publication goes to press.
