You can create a cohesive yearbook theme by:

  • Using consistent fonts throughout your book
  • Picking a color scheme
  • Using cohesive imagery / clipart

Why a theme is important:

  • It makes the yearbook feel organized and professional
  • Consistent design helps readers focus on the memories and stories rather than be distracted by contrasting styles
  • A strong theme ties the project together and makes the book meaningful/memorable
