Braden River High School is a school whose theme has been getting "Louder & Louder" every year, and this year, it can’t be ignored. By adding an “er” on to the end of descriptor words, they amplified their message. In their opening, they say, “We’re standing up, speaking out…but we still have more to say. So, run that play. FASTER. Hit that note. HIGHER. Study for that test. HARDER. Together, we’re STRONGER, BOLDER, GREATER. Together, we’re getting LOUDER & LOUDER.”
With a vivid color spectrum of neon colors and overlays, as well as a brush font that has a clean-cut graffiti feel to it, everything about this book says, “We have something to say!” But more important than just screaming they have something to say was the fact that The Cannon staff said it well. They made features just as prominent of a section as organizations, academics and student life because they knew their students had a story to tell.
Spreads were chock-full of secondary coverage to include as many students and aspects to the topic as possible. The cover featured a sculptured emboss of a girl yelling in front of a faded duplicate of the image behind her, showing she was getting louder, stronger, bolder, greater. The Cannon yearbook is doing the same thing.
