Theme Gallery

Readers get a simple, brief explanation of the theme to the 2017 Tower on the book’s very first spread when the copy tells them the individual stories of Loyola Marymount students were “complex” but the fragments of them were vital to the shared community. “And so, our fragments fuse.” The book’s opening spreads are a mixture of beautiful dominant photos, accompanied by quotes from students with their thoughts about LMU; and theme spreads showing slices, or fragments, of images across a timeline of important events from the year. The first half of the book, or the “fragment” section, focused on events and individuals. The “fuse” section in the second half covered groups, including team sports and clubs.
