School Calendars
We design, layout, print & deliver your custom designed school calendar
Keeping up-to-date has never looked so good with our ‘Designed by YOLO’ calendars. Our custom calendars are a great choice for fundraisers, if you desire a professional look, or if you are just short on time! We understand that calendars should not only look like art but should be functional and informative too. All dates are able to be customised, and different school events and activities can be featured to keep your community up-to-date.
If you would like to have a go at designing a calendar yourself, our ‘Made by Me’ option gives you access to our easy to use calendar software. Add custom dates, holidays, and important events, and utilise our library for clipart and backgrounds that suit your style. This is a great option for creatives who have some time to spare, or for those who want to minimise spend.
Main stages of creating your school calendar
01 Design brief
Look at our Pinterest boards and create your own Pinterest board with your design ideas. Fill out the design brief and send it back to YOLO.
02 Design samples
We will create design concepts based on your Pinterest boards and design brief. Give us your feedback and we refine until it is just right.
03 Supply content & page plan
Send YOLO your page plan and all related content by the agreed material due date to keep on schedule.
04 Page layout
YOLO will lay out all supplied text and photos in accordance to your page plan. Your yearbook cover will also be designed and laid out. We will send hard copy proofs to you for proofing.
05 Proofing rounds
Use our editing software to make corrections online, or mark up hard copy proofs with your corrections and return the proofs. We will carry out the corrections and send you a final proof for approval.
06 Printing and delivery
Upon receiving your approval to print, we will carry out our in-house pre-press checks, generate the press-ready file and send it to print. Your books will be delivered two weeks later to your school or mail house.
School Calendar FAQ
Are there any hidden costs?
There are no hidden costs with YOLO and we will make sure to be as transparent as possible throughout your project. You will receive a project estimate prior to commencing, and we will work hard to ensure you the best price for your publication.
How long does it take to make a calendar?
Calendars can take as little as 3 weeks. However, the average time that most schools choose is 6 weeks as this takes the pressure off the school coordinator, who is the one that checks and returns proofs.
I want to use the calendar for a fundraiser. How much can I sell them for?
We usually recommend selling the calendars for $12–14.
