Theme Gallery

The Shawnee Mission Northwest staff chose the current, quintessential phrase “It’s All Good” as the theme of the 2017 Lair. As the copy on the opening spreads explained, “It’s the encouragement that reminded us, even when we didn’t believe it, that life was going to turn out all right” which perfectly sums up the confusing combination of angst and optimism that can come with the high school years. The word “Good” is emphasized in the font Zooja on the cover, and that technique is used throughout the book with emphasis given to certain words in headlines in Zooja. Slices of photos, all with a monochromatic effect, first appear on the cover and are used all over the book on the page edges.
