THEME
Your theme sets the tone for the storyline of the year, so you definitely want it to have impact. Choose a theme that helps you tell a story about being a student in your school, at this unique time.  

COVER
Once your theme is set,  you can dream and imagine your cover. Remember,
YOUR COVER IS A
PROMISE TO YOUR READERS.
Your cover should also act as a toolbox- refer to it as you begin developing your page layouts, and reference it often to ensure your theme flows throughout your book.
