The Process
The theme is the focus of the book and will tie together the content and the design of your yearbook. This page will help you through the process of picking a theme. Once you decide on a theme, you can start designing and choosing templates for your yearbook.
BRAINSTORM!
- When first brainstorming, do not dismiss any ideas.
- Consider all ideas as a possibility for your theme.
- Try different methods of brainstorming. Brainstorm with a group.
- Try to think of the “problem” you are trying to solve with the yearbook.
- You may need several brainstorming sessions to get your theme.
DIFFERENT METHODS OF BRAINSTORMING
You can come up with theme ideas for your school by trying different brainstorming methods with your staff. These are useful methods and great fun too.
- Lightning round – write down as many words, ideas, and phrases in two minutes.
- Story writing – write the story that you want your yearbook to tell.
- Word web – start with an idea and write it in the center of the page. Next, draw lines off that word and write more words that associate with the center word. Repeat those steps for 5 minutes. Click here and print a blank word web to get started.
