Theme Gallery

With the theme “Found,” the 2017 Petit Jean focused on the ways college years become formative for many students. On the book’s opening spread, editor Kaleb Turner succinctly wrote that Harding students will revisit the 2017 Petit Jean years down the road, “open its cover and know this is where you found yourself – at our beloved Harding.” The theme phrase stands out on the cover in the font Black Diamond, and even more so on the book’s simple, clean division pages, which present the section titles on plain white spreads with interesting intro copy. The coverage does a good job following the theme, with stories of Harding students experiencing life studying abroad and pursuing unique interests.
