Caught Our Eye

Confessions of a Shopaholic: The Saratoga staff keys on a topic that is near-and-dear to the hearts of most of our readers: shopping. And they do so in a way that provides a ton of great information organized so it won’t hurt people’s eyes. I often tell my yearbook staffs to “stuff your pages,” that is, try to make the coverage rich enough that people will feel compelled to spend as much time on it as possible. This isn’t an easy task, of course, as many times these spreads can come out feeling very much over-stuffed. Working with mods simplifies the process, and this is a prime example. The staff has picked four different feature ideas that all revolve around the same general topic of shopping. Together, they form the perfect combination of reader interactivity, student body participation, and time-capsule relevance – all tied together with a lovely and subtle color scheme.
