At first glance, Decamhian’s theme appears to be YOURS. But we all know, a yearbook cover is never a what-you-see-is-what-you-get proposition. After further review, the theme is actually “YOURS” and “OURS.” To make sure we get it, the OUR is embossed inside of YOURS. Likewise, the other graphic elements on the gray litho cover – orange, green, yellow, blue and red squares and dotted lines – are also embossed and silk screened for emphasis. Decamhian uses two spreads to introduce the theme, with the first spread emphasizing individual stories with references to spreads that are found inside the book. In a flipped, mirror layout of the first opening, the second opening spread uses photos and writing to set the stage for a book that reflects the ways in which everything that happened at Del Campo in 2014 was simultaneously a YOURS and OURS moment.
