Caught Our Eye

Summer vacation: Your folios don’t have to be spectacular, but if you have an innovative way to work them into the content of your spreads or the theme of the book, go for it. The staff of the Oviedian chose the theme “You First,” which allowed them to focus on stories about “you” and work in some number coverage. Their folios, as evidenced here, were positioned at the top of each spread and also served as mini-headlines for the sidebar coverage under them. It’s a subtle, non-overwhelming reader service that serves multiple purposes and is thematically connected.
