It’s time to add some fun and life into your school yearbook!

Remember Me helps you create lasting memories for your students with high-quality printing, low prices, fast turnarounds, and no minimum order. Get  this special offer for 15% off your yearbook order!

If you’ve decided to take part in the crazy, stressful, really rewarding but really time-consuming world of building a school yearbook, congratulations —you must be very brave. Here are some of the coolest yearbook themes we’ve seen around the internet to give you some inspiration!

1. Superheroes are Always a Good Idea

This style capitalizes on the current trend of comic books being made into blockbuster movies. From Wonder Woman to Iron Man, every student in your school can find a hero of their own.

2. Quotes Galore

Whether you get quotes from the student body or just create inspirational messages for the students as a yearbook team, this theme is very popular right now. Giving your student body the chance to add something personal to the yearbook is a way to make it more meaningful and important to every student.

3. Emojis Everywhere

Our students are communicating with emojis more than ever, so why not create a yearbook theme that they’ll readily identify with? The possibilities of fun pages, great action shots with hysterical captions, and using real and invented emojis are endless!

4. A Love of Literature

Got a novel or poem that every student in school has to read? Look to it for inspiration! Students will love a “stay gold” or “to thine own self be true” theme that relates to them and reminds them of a little bit of the work they did in school.

5. Gamify It

Nostalgia and yearbooks go together like bacon and eggs. Peanut butter and jelly. Study hall and sleep! Play off of your students’ fond memories of game nights and slumber parties with a yearbook homage to the board games they grew up playing. We found inspiration from this classroom door, but we know you can use this great idea for a yearbook theme, too!

6. Star Light, Star Bright

It’s a classic for a reason—you really can’t go wrong comparing your students to stars. They’re bright. They’re beautiful. And a yearbook is often the one place where every student gets a moment or two to shine.

7. Watercolor Magic

Watercolor art is big right now. It’s popping up on clothing, in art projects around school, and in decorations on school walls. So it’s only logical to consider it for a yearbook theme. The colors are beautiful and versatile. The theme can be mature or whimsical. And, perhaps best of all, it’s a theme that looks fabulous without a lot of fuss. This is perfect for the yearbook editor who needs to pull together a cohesive draft in a hurry!

8. Let Your School Inspire

Have amazing artists in your building? Consider your school’s murals and student art work as a possible theme throughout the book. You can read this school’s story for some added inspiration. Have students submit their own proposals for art for the cover of your school’s yearbook and let it truly be something they created.

9. Confetti and Kindness

Confetti is another easy but versatile design idea, and kindness is a wonderful theme. (Yes, we’re throwing in two ideas here.) Think about how much fun your students can have incorporating these two ideas together throughout the yearbook. Confetti makes a fun design idea, and kindness will inspire lots of relevant quotes to include throughout the yearbook.

10. A Fairy-tale Ending

Feel like doing something a bit “outside the box”? A fairy-tale yearbook theme might be worth looking into. Fairy-tale themed proms have been popular recently, so why not capitalize on your students’ love for classic stories of good overcoming evil and heroes and heroines risking it all for what is right? We all know yearbooks tell a story—but this theme will help you take that to a new level.

11. Classic and Cool

If you feel your school wants a more traditional feeling yearbook, have no fear. There are lots of beautiful options that keep it classic but modern.

12. Inspiration from Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss has always been a source of great wisdom. For this theme, we suggest featuring Dr. Seuss quotes and ideas inspired by him. Combined with a colorful, whimsical design, it’s sure to be a hit. (Remember, you can’t use his art because it’s copyrighted, but you can still use quotes, designs influenced by him, and Dr. Seuss-like color schemes!) Here are some of our favorite Dr. Seuss quotes to help get you started.

13. A Nod to Social Media

There’s no denying that social media apps have played a large part in many of our students’ day-to-day lives. Choosing a yearbook theme that acknowledges this will poke friendly fun at the apps that they’ve spent so much time on, while reminding them even if they’ve Snapchatted a lot of photos, the ones in the yearbook are the ones that will last.

14. Celebrating Future Travels

Travel and journeys are common yearbook themes — and for good reason. The class that is graduating (and the underclassmen as well) have been on a journey together. They’ve grown up, learned and explored, and are now facing the next chapter of their lives. Celebrate this experience with a yearbook theme using quotes and designs that remind them of how far they’ve gone already and all the exciting adventures still to come.

15. Fun with Animals

There’s a reason animal photos and videos dominate social media: Students love them! You can find so many great (and funny) animal photos out there on stock sites. Or have your students gather photos for the school! You don’t have to give the animals center stage, but using a photo here and there or along the bottoms of pages can really make for a fun, engaging yearbook experience.

By Your Side

The yearbook is finished-what now (part i–projects).

1. GRAPHICS NOTEBOOK

Students should look through magazines and collect a variety of graphic ideas. Give students a list of items (with a specific number of required examples) to find such as headline treatments, folios, secondary story packages, drop or raised caps, wrapped text, pulled-quote or have them just find items they like and organize them in a way that is pleasing and makes sense to the reader. They should keep the notebooks for ideas for next year’s book. This project can be an on-going assignment throughout the year with additional requirements added at different points. Consider adding typography treatments, photography elements, page layouts, color design, etc.

2. DESIGN A PERSONAL YEARBOOK

This final project should include a cover, endsheet, title page, opening, division page and one spread from each section of the book. It can be an autobiographical yearbook with personal photos, essays, poems, activities, interests, etc. built around a personal theme determine by the individual (a favorite song, a movie title, etc.) or by a general theme topic assigned to all that each person will develop in his/her own way. Or, this can be a starting-off point for next year’s book. Students can work individually or in groups to produce a mini-yearbook that could potentially be expanded into next year’s book.

3. STAFF NOTEBOOK

Each staff member creates a notebook to pass on to a new staffer for next year. Notebooks should include a month-by-month calendar of duties and deadlines, a section outlining the position’s tasks and tips on how to complete assignments, with specific instructions on copy writing, cropping, photography, organization, etc. required by the position. Then, have each staff member write a personal letter to the person who will be taking the position next year to include in the front of the notebook. These can be digital or actual hard-copy notebooks in binders or folders. Content is more important than form for this project.

4.CREATIVITY

Design an all-staff design contest for next year’s staff letterhead, business cards, staff t-shirts, etc. Each student submits his/her designs via formal presentation to the entire staff with explanation of their creations. After all presentations are made, secret ballot decides the winning designs.

5. EARN MONEY

Produce the graduation program, prom program, spring concert or play program, tickets, forms etc. as a fund-raiser for yearbook. Design resumes for students seeking summer jobs.

What end-of-the-school-year project do you do? We’d love to hear about it!

Yearbook Theme Ideas: How to Start a Yearbook Theme?

• Jessica Cook

What is a theme?

In a yearbook, the theme is the idea that will express the story of the school year. The theme is carried out through the text, photos, and layout designs on every page of the yearbook. Think of it as the thesis statement for the yearbook; every page created relates back to the thesis in some way.

A theme should be specific to one year at one school; even if the theme itself is somewhat generic, it should be used in a way that is unique. Once your staffers have chosen the theme, they will need to brainstorm ways to incorporate it throughout the book, both verbally and visually.

If you want a creative and catchy theme, but are unsure where to begin, try these ideas:

- Yearly Theme. If this is a special year in the history of your school, tie the theme into that history. The theme could be “Bicentennial Men and Women,” if it’s your school’s bicentennial. Or, if it’s the 4th year your school has been open, consider a theme like “Four Score!” or “Quarter Time.” In the year 2007, several yearbook staffs used a spy theme with the “007” connection to the year.

- Mascot Tie-In. The theme can revolve around the school’s mascot. If the mascot is some type of bird, consider a theme involving flight, such as “Taking Flight” or “Soaring Above.” If the mascot is a large cat, you might choose a theme like “On the Prowl.”

- School Colors. A color theme, such as “Red, White, and True Blue” or “The Golden Standard” can be chosen.

- Catch Phrases. Choose popular or catchy phrases for the theme, too. They don’t have to relate directly to your school on the surface; that part will come later when you develop your theme. Consider using catch phrases like, “One in a Million” or “Simply the Best.” Just remember, the theme should actually apply to the school; if you can’t think of anything within the school that applies, it’s time to pick a different theme.

- Visual Symbols. Sometimes themes are wordless. They might include a shape, like a circle or a square; they might be a series of colors or an “X” design. These types of themes are gaining popularity, but can be difficult to incorporate.

Whichever theme is chosen, remember, it should relate to this particular school year, be easily identified and understood by your readers, and incorporated verbally and visually throughout the book.

Verbal Theme Tie-Ins

Here are some ideas for verbally incorporating a theme throughout the yearbook. For an example, I’ll use the last yearbook theme my students used: In a Flash .

- The Yearbook Title. More often than not, your theme will be the title of the yearbook. Put the title on the front cover so readers will recognize the theme right away.

- The Headlines of the Book. Individual spread headlines can also incorporate the theme. We used our theme in our section titles; for example, “Flash of Enthusiasm” became the title of our Clubs & Organizations section. You can use a word from your theme in your verbal tie-ins, or a word that relates to your theme in some way.

- The Theme Copy. On a few pages of the yearbook, have actual copy (text) of theme-related information. Start with your opening spread. Explain the theme and story of the year. Incorporate the theme on the introductory pages for each section of the book. An experienced editor or copywriter should create the text for these pages. Our theme pages referred to how high school is over “in a flash,” and also about how each moment in your year is like a little memory “flash” that will be preserved in your memory and yearbook for the rest of your life.

Visual Tie-Ins

Also, tie the theme into your book visually. Try these ideas:

- The Cover Art. For the theme, “In a Flash,” we used a photography visual theme. We wanted our yearbook to look like a personal scrap book, so our cover was done in a style to make it look like brown leather. It had Polaroid-style photos on it and other mementos from the high school experience, such as a student ID card and a varsity letter.

- The Layout/Page Design. Inside the yearbook, we continued to use Polaroid-style photos on several pages, created to look as if they had been pasted onto the book, as if a student had created a scrapbook page. We added sections for student quotations, much like a student might write in another student’s yearbook or scrapbook.

- The Folio Design. The folio is the place on the page where the page numbers are. Our folio included a film strip graphic.

Teaching Theme

Theme is an abstract concept, so it can be difficult to teach. Use these ideas to teach high school students about yearbook themes:

- Demonstrate Using a Yearbook. Use a yearbook from a previous school year, or ask your publisher to provide extra copies of award-winning yearbooks to use. Show students how the theme was incorporated.

- Become Yearbook Critics. Ask your students to critique yearbooks from previous years or other schools. If you attend yearbook workshops in the summer, chances are you have a shelf full of yearbooks for this activity. Ask students to explore the theme designs in other yearbooks and brainstorm what they like and do not like about the way the themes were developed.

- Brainstorm Sessions. Have students work in small groups to list things that come to mind when they think of your school. The words they list can be developed into a theme. For example, if they think of a record of state championships, then you might use the word “champions” somewhere in your theme.

- Mini Yearbook. I had students in my Yearbook Prep (an introductory class) create “mini yearbook” projects. They thought of a theme and created a series of spreads (a half a dozen or so) on graph paper that incorporated the theme verbally and visually. I saved the best projects from these assignments for future inspiration in yearbook theme development.

When your students devise a theme, make sure the whole staff understands how to incorporate it into the book. Make sure it can tie in verbally and visually on every page of the publication, from introduction to index. It must be positive and memorable, and one your whole staff can buy into. If you have accomplished this, then you’ve gone a long way in creating your yearbook. Now, it is time to fill in the pages.

How to Choose the Perfect Yearbook Theme for Your School

It’s the beginning of the school year and time to come up with yearbook theme ideas. You want it to be special, clever and creative. You’ll also want a yearbook theme that is a perfect fit for your school. I will share some tips on how to find your yearbook theme ideas.

The Internet

My favorite place to look for yearbook theme ideas is Pinterest . To be honest, I might be a pinning junkie as I have boards for everything from recipes to cleaning supplies, but legit it’s a great place to find yearbook theme ideas. The best categories to search for to find inspiration for your yearbook themes are: illustrations & posters, design, quotes, popular and film, and music & books. Treering has many yearbook related boards to get you inspired.

A great place to find yearbook theme ideas is in magazines. Sometimes the cover, advertisements or an article can inspire ideas. Browse the magazine stand and look at titles that are new to you – you might find a visual theme or a conceptual theme idea. Some good magazines to browse are Lucky, Glamour, Rolling Stone, Esquire, HGTV. Not only can you pick out themes from magazines, you can also find lots of page layout ideas.

Looking at book covers can spark lots of ideas. Browse books online ( Amazon.com , BarnesandNoble.com ) and look at different covers. Look at bestsellers, children’s books, arts & photography. Read the titles – sometimes they can be themes too.

A Theme Generator

Stop pinching yourself. You’re not dreaming. This exists. We built it for our schools, but decided to share it with everyone. So, go ahead: Check out our Yearbook Theme Generator . It’s so good you probably won’t need the rest of this list.

Your School

Sometimes coming up with yearbook theme ideas is as close as taking a look at your school. Is there a school motto you can use? Maybe your school is arts-focused – you would definitely want to incorporate some kind of art into your theme. Did your school have recent challenges or celebrations? Maybe something along those lines can be inspiration for your yearbook theme.

Other Schools

Yearbook theme ideas aren’t grown on trees, but they are cultivated by yearbook teams. And, sometimes, you’ll find some inspiration by looking at other schools’ yearbooks. It’s a tried-and-true approach to finding design elements, story-telling devices, and theme development that you can take and turn into your own. Not sure where to start? Find some  yearbook covers that your yearbook publisher is already touting and ask them to introduce you to that school’s yearbook team.

Scrapbooking Sites

Since scrapbookers know how to put together photos and memories, you can find a lot of inspiration on scrapbooking sites. You can browse the galleries and look at the layouts for ideas for themes. Try CraftGossip or google ‘digital scrapbooking’. You will likely find layout inspiration too such as ideas for your Halloween or Valentine’s Day page.

Popular and Trendy

Chalkboards, ‘Stay calm and ______ (fill in the blank)”, technology (Instagram, Facebook, iPhone/iPad, etc.) – and other trends can be worked into a visual theme. Maybe a popular song or game? Look for popular things that are ‘in’ with the students at your school as they can make an appearance in your book too.

Your Yearbook Theme

Coming up with a fabulous yearbook theme is a little different for every school. From creative brainstorming to finding unique inspiration in the hallways of your campus, there are so many ways to come up with a concept that’s perfect for your publication. We would love to hear what theme you are using this year and how you came up with the idea.

• Yearbook Covers: How to Create a Stunning Cover that Captures the Essence of Your School

When it comes to school yearbooks, the cover is more than just an introduction – it’s a reflection of the memories, friendships, and experiences that define your school journey. Designing a captivating yearbook cover goes beyond aesthetics; it’s about encapsulating the essence of your school’s spirit. Whether you’re a student, a teacher, or a parent, here’s how you can craft a stunning yearbook cover that truly captures the heart and soul of your school.

8 Tips on How to Design & Create a Stunning Yearbook Cover

• Embrace the Theme: Start by understanding the theme of your yearbook. Is it a celebration of accomplishments, a nostalgic journey, or a representation of the year’s challenges and triumphs? Align your cover design with the theme to set the tone for the entire book.
• Incorporate School Symbols: Every school has its unique symbols – logos, mascots, or landmarks that hold significance. Integrate these elements thoughtfully into the cover design. They act as a visual connection to your school’s identity.
• Color Palette Matters: Colors evoke emotions and memories. Choose a color palette that resonates with your school’s personality. Vibrant hues may convey energy, while muted tones can evoke a sense of nostalgia.
• Typography Speaks Volumes: The font you choose for the cover text can influence how people perceive your yearbook. Play with fonts that mirror your school’s character – whether it’s bold and modern or classic and elegant.
• Celebrate Diversity: Your school is a tapestry of diverse stories. Consider including diverse faces, cultures, and activities on the cover.
• Showcase Milestones: If the year holds significant milestones – anniversaries, achievements, or changes – feature them on the cover. It’s a way of acknowledging the journey.
• Invoke Emotion: A powerful cover triggers emotions. Incorporate imagery that sparks memories and sentiments shared among the school community.
• Keep It Balanced: While creativity is key, maintain a balanced composition. Avoid clutter and ensure that your design elements complement each other.

Designing a yearbook cover is a chance to encapsulate an entire year’s worth of memories and emotions in a single image. By considering these 8 tips, you can craft a cover that resonates with every student and faculty member. Remember, the cover is the gateway to the treasure trove of memories inside. Let it be a reflection of the incredible journey your school community has undertaken together.

Presentation Transcript

What Comes to Mind When Thinking “Harbord”? • When we think about Harbord, many things come to mind • Our school is very diverse and has a really friendly atmosphere • Other words are artsy, diverse, academic, safe, good reputation, spirited, and multicultural. • Our students are friendly intellectual, helpful, motivated, and creative. • A big thing that comes to mind when thinking Harbord is TALENT!!! • There are so many talented students past and present that have walked our halls. • Our school has a really big arts department be it vocals, orchestra, drama, visual arts, etc. • When we think talent we think fame. • Our students pride themselves in the academic work that they do as well in their volunteer experience, this is why we think that any bunch of them can be famous one day. • When we did some research on the school we found out that there are many famous Harbord graduates. • This is how we came up with the theme of…

Our Theme • Our theme is “Harbord Walk of Fame” • It is modelled after the Hollywood walk of fame • We chose this theme because it has never been done before, and it is really versatile • There are so many aspects that have to do with Hollywood and fame • A lot can be done with it and there are many spin offs • We thought that it would be really cool to portray a Hollywood theme and that it could reflect the school in a way to blend both the past and present since it is Harbord’s 120th anniversary this year.

Cover/Spine/Back Cover

Title Page • The idea for this was to make it look like an Oscar but still have an element of our school on the title page. • We put the title in Orange so that our school is represented.

Folio Tabs • Our folio tab is an old film camera • For the folio tabs we wanted something to go with the Hollywood Walk of Fame theme • We think that the film camera is something different so that we are not always using stars as this may become repetitive.

Front End sheet

End Sheets Explanation • We decided to use stars for our end sheets just like on the walk of fame • We wanted to keep it simple and use light colours since this is where lots of people sign autographs • We thought that the stars were a cool touch because it could be like each friend could write their name in the star and a message.

Opening Spread

Opening Spread Explanation • For our opening spread we decided to start off with all the famous people who have graduated from Harbord • Its really cool that we get to walk through the same halls as Charles Best, Bob Rae, and Joe Pantalone to name a few. • We know that normally the first pages of the yearbook but we wanted it to be different this year. • The administration pages could possibly come next and be titled “Harbord’s Award Winning Administration”

Divider 1 • This is our first divider. • You can see the title of the section under production. • In this one its Sports… On the big screen • We chose this because we thought that the clicker was something really cool that can be used to enhance the year book

Divider 2 • This divider is the same except for the title. • We find that this title goes more with the theme, but the other one is more original and goes with the clicker .

Divider 3 • Another divider idea • If we do not want to use this divider for sports we could use it for clubs or arts and all we would have to do is replace the pictures and change the Oscar’s name. • If everyone does not like the title on the Oscar we could always put a title at the top of the page saying “And the Oscar for best School Clubs/Sports Teams (etc.) Goes to… and then have the schools name on the Oscar

Closing Spread

Closing Spread Explanation • For the closing spread we decided to keep it simple since this is where some people also sign autographs. • We went with stars all around as a boarder this is the two page spread. • We then have two more single pages and this is to go on the back of the other closing spread (like the closing spread from 2009-2010, it was 3 pages) • We could keep the last page simple with no Oscar or picture or we can decide on one of the two examples given.

Back End Sheet

Back End Sheet Explanation • We wanted the front and back end sheets to match so again we went with the light pink stars. • This space is normally used for autographs and it looks really simple and yet it ties the theme together at the same time.

Meaning/Relevance Our yearbook would mean a way to represent all famous grads/students from Harbord and even those future famous grads/students. This is relevant to the school because it can showcase the history of the school and show everything that the school has gone through. It is relevant to the students because they get to see famous people from Harbord as well as see their own classmates and friends who may one day be famous. It is relevant to the graduating class because they will soon adventure out and start their journey on the way to being famous. Everyone wants to feel like a star at some point in their life time and this is our chance to make that dream come true.

Possible Theme Related Ideas • Cool ideas that could go with this theme are: • A page on famous Harbord grads • Harbord throughout the ages • We can do a where are they now page on some of Harbord's past graduates, On Their Way to Fame/Stardom. • As part of a divider we may be able to put a movie ticket on front cover and have it say the name of that section (ex. Clubs, Admit One) • It would also be cool to do something where we see if we can get certain teachers to sit in a directors chair and have mugs of that. • THERE ARE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES!!
