Additional Decorations & Graphic Resources
The Studio Source Free Graphics Library
Access thousands of backgrounds and clipart for free! Search for backgrounds by color and style, explore entire yearbook theme and general decorative elements or search the categories for specific types of images, with no fear of copyright or resolution issues.
HOW TO USE THE LIBRARY
Important: The Library requires a login to the Studio Source Dashboard. If you are a student/volunteer, browse the collection with a yearbook advisor who has a Dashboard login.
You can browse the collection without a login, so if your advisor is not available, make a note of the product ID numbers to pass to your advisor so they may download the content from the Library.
To download from the library:
1. Use the Search feature to look for content by keyword, or
2. Use the Filters in the left menu
3. Locate one image or multiple images you want to download
4. Click Add to Cart under each image preview
5. Click Checkout
6. Login with your Studio Source Dashboard Account (If you do not have one, ask your advisor to assist.)
7. Check the Terms and Conditions checkbox
8. Click Place order (Don’t worry, no charges will be made to you personally or your yearbook account.)
9. Download Links for your ordered items will appear and an email will arrive in the inbox of the person associated with the Dashboard account used to checkout. The items will be bundled into one or more larger zip files, so you won’t need to download each item separately.
10. Unzip the Files on your computer before importing them to your yearbook software.
Year-in-Review Pages
Studio Source offers all customers access to a collection of year-in-review pages, published in early March directly in the yearbook software. Pages feature general news, popular culture and sports events from the previous year. If you wish to use these in a book that is build built in your own choice of software, contact the Studio Source support team.
All About Me Pages
Add a page or two in your yearbook that may be personalized by the book’s owner. They can write in their name and interests to capture their year. About Me pages are includes in Studio Source’s yearbook software, and are available for download in the Content Catalog (use the “TYPE” filter to locate them).
