Yearbook Mods for Basketball Spreads

Whether you’re an avid fan of the game or not, basketball is one of the world’s most beloved sports. In fact, this popular sport dates all the way back to 1892 when Dr. James Naismith invented it to keep his Young Men’s Christian Association students active in the winter. Today, the sport is played in nearly every country on earth and has amassed more than 2.2 billion fans worldwide.

Yearbook mods are a great way to elevate your school’s spreads by adding a dose of cleverness and flair to the content you include in your book. They can steal a smile from your readers, unify themes across multiple pages and help tell your school’s story in the best possible way.

Typically, these fun additions can be found in people sections, but they can also play an integral role on sports pages. A well-written profile paired with a great photo can turn a simple player page into a standout feature of your book. In this example from Lake Wale High School, a player profile is the dominant element in the spread. The profile is framed by the pep rally and homecoming dance photos to create an engaging narrative about the school’s fall festivities. The addition of a drop cap font is another small but impactful touch that helps to distinguish the headline from the rest of the text.
