“We are the same” the endsheets began. Students lived the same experiences, but each in their own way, different from anyone else. “We’re the Same Kind of Different” it ends.
While the 2019 edition of The Arena emphasized that Legacy students attended the same classes, shared the same mascot, studied the same material all during the same year, each did so differently, and Legacy cares about those differences. The student life section began with a spread about the ways they were almost the same, followed by a spread about the ways they celebrated their differences.
A simple color palette of their school red along with black, white and gray was one way they showed unity throughout the book. The classic serif font had a timeless feel while the white space and line elements on the page kept it modern. One of the most fascinating theme implementations came in the form of a customized cover option. Students had the option to choose the photo they wanted printed on the main cover photo so that each cover was different in the same way, just like their school.
