Theme Gallery

A school year is filled with unexpected moments that can happen out of nowhere, which is why the 2017 McKinney staff chose the theme “Out of the Blue” for the newest edition of The Lion. A simple, clean, modern design is used throughout the book. The editors explained in the colophon that pops of cyan blue were used as the main theme color, a slight deviation from the school’s traditional navy blue to “emphasize that this year was unlike any other.” One person was featured on each division page as an indication that all individuals at McKinney stood out. And a special theme section in the middle of the book featured “Out of the Blue” stories of students and staff.
