How to choose a theme of a yearbook?

Yearbooks can be made in various themes, showcasing the personality of your institution, and the culture inside. Deciding the theme can be a tedious task and we are here to make that easy for you.

Think how you would describe your school

Imagine a new student arriving at our school. The first things they might notice are the friendly faces, the laughter echoing in the hallways, and the vibrant energy that fills the air. As they step onto your campus, they can see the greenery, feel the warmth of the sunlight, and hear the sounds of students chatting and enjoying their time. The colorful classrooms, the playground where students and alumni play, and the inviting atmosphere would surely make a lasting impression.

Note down what is different and the key features of your school

Are there exciting things at our institution? Perhaps a new gym is in the works, or maybe the cafeteria is getting a makeover. There could be plans to bring in more staff members to enhance our learning environment. Consider the current happenings that are shaping the student experience this year, whether it's the construction of a fresh gym, the cafeteria getting a facelift, or the addition of new staff members. These ongoing developments are sure to influence how our student body perceives and experiences the school year.

What is the headline or the values of your school and what does it represent?

students should check out social media, ads, and websites to get more ideas for the yearbook. Look for things like colors, fonts, and the way they talk on these websites. Try to think of a way to talk in the yearbook that students at our school will like. Look at other websites that talk in a way that feels similar to what we want for our yearbook. Pay attention to the colors and fonts they use and see if it tell a good story. Think about how we can use their ideas to make our yearbook awesome too!

Knowing all this can help you understand the personality of your institution ,which in turn will help you have a clear visual identity about it and you can take it further with the yearbook Canvas team from there.
