Rockstar Design Process

🥇 Congratulations on helping lead your Class of ’24 Yearbook!

📞  Please call Rockstar on 1300 782 901 for assistance!

Stage 1 – Draft a Table of Contents

Plan-out all content features!

  1. List all content that is to appear in the yearbook
  2. Assign a page number for each section
  3. Share responsibility for each section with others

As the project matures, it is normal for your table of contents to evolve. Keep updating as you go!

Tip: Use the Google Sheet shared by Rockstar

Stage 2 – Collect Content

Collect → Organise in Google Drive / OneDrive

You’ll receive photo and text content by email or shared documents. Establish a master yearbook folder to collate.

  1. Review content received for correct spelling, grammar, and appropriateness.
  2. Organise content inside the master yearbook folder. Name content sub-folders by their page number, listed on the Table of Contents.
  3. Share access to the master yearbook folder with Rockstar’s accounts: Google Drive:  [email protected] OneDrive:  [email protected]

Tip: Set an early content submission deadline 📆, and share this frequently with everyone.

 

Collecting Student Profiles 👤

Collect all student head shots and rename files as:
“Surname_Firstname.jpeg”

Organise each student headshot into a folder labelled as their year group e.g. “Year 7”

🔘 Your Yearbook Committee manages collection

Provide Rockstar with a Google Form with a full list of students name. Please provide seperate spread sheets for each year level included in the book.

❌ Please do not use a Word document to provide lists of student names. This will introduce significant delays to the process.

 

 

Stage 3 – Formalise Content

Final check – “it’s ready to design!”

Grant permission for Rockstar’s Design team to begin the design of your yearbook.

The design process takes time, and Rockstar will begin after assurance is shared about completeness and accuracy.

Stage 4 – Select a Design

Express your Class of ’24 Personality

Decide which design theme helps express the style of your grade! Browse Rockstar’s S24 design library.

Stage 5 – Review Drafts

Review the Drafts 👀

When reviewing, please ensure all feedback is consolidated together from all committee members including teachers and school Principal.

Mark-up changes required in Adobe Acrobat
  1. Download the PDF, and open in Adobe Acrobat. View pages as spreads.
  2. Mark-up all changes required by using the Comment tools in Acrobat – Text and Sticky notes. Learn more about Comments tools which will significantly save you time.
  3. Save the PDF marked up, and share via a Google Drive / OneDrive subfolder.
  4. Alternatively, compile one single consolidated list of changes in only one document – no multiple lists
Reviewing Student Profiles

Inclusiveness is critical, please ensure:

  1. All students are included
  2. All profile photos match each student name
  3. Student names are spelt correctly
  4. Students are presented in correct order

To keep your project on-track, please stick to review deadlines. More time may or may not be available – please check with Rockstar as soon as required.
