Usually single-word sentiments assume the title position on a layout and set the mood for the layout. Single-word titles aren't a new concept in scrapbooking. Single-word titles can be very effective and make a powerful statement.

However, picking the right word can be challenging. Here are some tips for finding the right “word” for your titles:

• Look closely at the subject in your photograph. What expression do they have? Is it curiosity, frustration, surprise, and excitement are just a few powerful descriptive words that would work well for a title.
• Use words that describe the relationships shown in your photographs. Friends, siblings, teachers, and relatives are all important relationships that can be captured in photographs. Words like companion, brotherhood, mentor, and family all help to emphasize relationships.
• Determine what words describe the events of the photograph. Does it display calm, chaos, comfort, or adventure?
• Translating a word into another language can be an interesting and effective.
  
• A thesaurus can help you eloquently portray the perfect sentiment. For example, rather than "excited", use animated, charged, delighted or frantic.
