The Timber Creek staff chose a unifying theme for the 2017 edition of The Creek. While Timber Creek is a huge school of more than 3,200 students, the editors wanted to convey the school’s family atmosphere and feeling of togetherness. They chose a bold, ambitious way to demonstrate the theme with a tip-in foldout placed inside the front cover that included three LED lights and the theme phrase, “Shine Brighter Together.” Copy and imagery on the theme spreads, and in much of the coverage, all reinforces the book’s spirit of togetherness. The visual of lights shining is presented beautifully on the front and back endsheets, in the fold-out and in the closing.
