  Finding Your Theme

1. RESEARCH: find out what’s unique this year at your school and write a list including everything you can think of. For example, if there are new schedules or a new administration , you might consider a theme of “2004 possibilities” or “A New Era.” Research what’s special about this year, then visit the Taylor theme list to get ideas. Write down LOTS of themes that are relevant. You can narrow them down later

2.BRAINSTORM: Take some of your favorite themes from your list of “what’s unique to your year” and create spin-offs for each section of your book. For example, if this was the first year for you to have a full color yearbook, you might choose a theme leaning on color. One theme from your list might be “Color me (your school color).” Your spin-offs could include “Full Spectrum” for Student Life, “In the Limelight” for People and “Going for the Gold” for Sports. This brainstorming step will help make sure you can easily carry the chosen theme throughout the book.

  3.NARROW DOWN: The brainstorming step probably helped you eliminate the themes you couldn’t create good spin-offs for. Now all there is to do is choose which theme works best for you. Have fun with this! Remember your whole book will be driven from this choice, so make a wise one.
