Theme

A theme is a characteristic of the book that runs throughout the entire yearbook.

Every student should be able to understand the theme of the book and make the connection between it and the school year. The theme should be represented in every section and can be seen throughout the titles, headings, sub-headings, colours, backgrounds, focus pictures, story copy, captions, folio tabs, fonts, graphics and most importantly cover and endsheets.
