Woodland Junior High School saw changes ahead in 2019 as the school district announced that their school mascot would be changing. Junior high is known as a time of self-discovery, and while they had been known as the Cowboys for quite some time, they knew their identity was more than just a mascot. The Woodland Junior High identity was bigger than them.
They incorporated this idea into the titles for their division pages with "it’s brighter" for student life and academics, "it’s tougher" for sports, "it’s bolder" for people and "it’s greater" for ads and index. This exceptional junior high brought top-notch writing and focused on improved student photography this year that once again made this book a standout.
The Woodland staff added interesting modular packages to keep a visual variety on the pages, particularly on people pages that can feel monotonous if not broken up. Shades of blue and orange on long horizontal or vertical bars created a sense of unity on spreads and gave the book a cohesive look. We know the skills demonstrated by these students will grow bigger as they go on to great things in high school and beyond.
