The visual (photo) and verbal (theme phrase) match really well here. The staff does a good job incorporating the theme elements and required title page content in appropriate places on the photo without taking away from the impact of the photo. The opening and closing sets of photos are of the same students, which is a risk in such a large school; however, they become symbolic figures in the story of the year.

Yearbooks should document what is happening in the school, and anytime a dog is included is a huge win! Pepper the therapy dog definitely deserves coverage. Students are likely to remember seeing Pepper in school, so it is important to tell this story. The scatter story approach works well, allowing the staff to tell a quick story about an addition to their school.

These questions are fun, and the answers are thoughtful and thorough. It is easy to settle for one- or two-word responses, but it is much more interesting to read more in-depth answers. The design also makes it stand out – the color backgrounds and frames around the photos makes them look different than the mugs panel pages they are placed on.

The photo treatment here draws attention to the trend items, so you can clearly tell what the story is about. They included multiple students for each trend and included both boys and girls.

This is a great student life topic, and a fun way to include students who may not be included elsewhere in the book. Scrunchies, coins, stones, socks … so many opportunities for students to tell their story with this coverage idea.

The topic of anxiety is definitely relevant to the high school audience, but it is difficult to photograph. This photo illustration does the job well. It represents the mood of the story and presents information to the reader.

Wellness is such a popular topic in the world right now, so it is important to cover how it impacts students. This would be a great topic to cover in the 2021 yearbook as students find ways to practice self-care and wellness during the pandemic. It would allow for great photos to be submitted by students from home or for photographers to get pictures outdoors while socially distant. There is so much potential with this topic to include students and teachers.

This spread does a nice job voicing students’ opinions on relevant issues and putting a face on them for readers. It allows students to share their story in a quick and interesting manner. There are spreads like this throughout the book, and the consistent design lets the reader know what to expect.

I love the protest poster illustration around the edges of the spread. It is a creative way to frame the content yet doesn’t distract from the photos and story. This can also serve as an effective way to fill a page when you don’t have many photos of an event. It’s a trick that will likely be very useful in the 2021 school year as we learn how to cover the year with some events canceled and social distancing restrictions in place.

The theme of the book is “Looking back and moving forward,” and the divider photos all incorporate a student on the move. The theme copy is an in-depth quote from the student in the photo, which allows them to speak to the reader and help move the theme forward. You can tell the staff asked questions to incorporate the ideas of reflection and movement.
