Themes

Yearbook themes are what unify the book from front page to back. It is carried throughout the verbal and visual design.

The theme is more than just the title - it is a concept that sets the tone of the book.

If you can, set a consistent design which feels connected. The book should not feel like a random collection of pages. The theme gives a specific reason for the design to appear the way it does.

The theme can be carried through elements such as:

• fonts
• colours
• styles
• use of pictures - eg picture frames, angles
• section titles
• language used
