THEME DEVELOPMENT!

WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Theme Development!

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: A theme is a central idea or concept that sets the tone for telling the story of the year. Repeated throughout the yearbook on cover and endsheets and in opening, closing and dividers, it unifies the storytelling message of the book and gives it personality.

Students: "I will be able to develop and present a complete yearbook theme by combining a strong concept with consistent visual elements, including colors, fonts, graphics, cover ideas, and page designs that can be carried throughout the entire yearbook."

HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: Today we will research previous publications and brainstorm on ideas for THIS school year's yearbook theme!

Anatomy of a Yearbook...

6:10

Each Yearbook, no matter who or where it is created...has the same structure and foundation!

Think of Parts of a book...you learned this when you were little!

COVER...Sets the theme! The first impression!
CONTENT...
- Title Page (introduces theme etc)
- Opening/Closing
- Dividers (How will we separate the secions?)
- Meat of the book...Student body, sports, clubs events
- Colophon: Technical details/credits

WHAT DID YOU COME UP WITH?

10 THEME IDEAS...

CLICK THE BUTTON AND FILL OUT THE FORM! 10 POINTS!

Developing a theme....Asking the questions!

What’s popular with our students this year?

How are OUR students different from others?

What issues are our students passionate about?

Who are our students’ role models?

What makes this school year different from all the others?

Doing some research!

We can go online to get ideas and find avenues to help!

SWOT Development

Whereas this technically works on buisness models...we can apply it to yeabook!

A yearbook SWOT analysis focuses on existing strengths and creates opportunities from weaknesses.

As our year, and our book, should be focused on telling the story, theme development is top priority!

Let's start with a SWOT analysis.

It's used for strategic planning and to stay ahead of upcoming events.

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats

Changes?

2025 & 2026 Hoover Yearbooks

Now that we know our SWAT...

Let's list all the changes, new initiatives, and differences that make this school year stand out from the last five.

Are we doing a building project?

Did we add an program?

Is there new leadership?

Did we add anything school/sports/programs?

Is this a particularly special year in our history?

How can you convey this story THIS year?

Many times, students come up with a catch phrase and want it to dictate the content. Our story—whether we have a visually strong, photographic book, or a journalistic yearbook full of features—should lead your look.

TODAY & TOMORROW....Come to class with 10 theme ideas to discuss in class!
