The editors of the 2019 Retrospect wanted to make sure their readers didn’t “get caught up in either the past or the future” as it’s so easy to frequently do, especially for a teenager. This book was all about what it was like to just “Live in the Now” during one great year at Liberty Christian Academy.
Each of the division pages follows the same pattern – a large, fun, vibrant student life photo framed inside a white box introduced on the cover, accompanied by a quote in big, block text, providing another example of someone at Liberty Christian “living in the now.”
The coverage does a good job of keeping the focus on LCA students and their lives, while the spreads are clean and easy to read, making good use of white space. A few repeating theme elements bring the Retrospect some consistency – large quotation mark graphic indicates pull quotes, background colors are used to help sidebars stand out and the ubiquitous white box is used on top of photos to tie everything together.
