The Aftermath staff took the theme “To Be Honest” and gave a raw, honest and unfiltered look at their school. To accomplish this, they featured a number of personal mini-profiles, confession quotes as modular packages and variations of the phrases "to be honest," "like truthfully," "we can’t lie," "truth be told," "if we’re being honest," etc. in the headlines and copy.
The headline packages were solid bars with transparent letters, revealing the image behind it, which still played well into the theme of revealing the truth. Plenty of modular coverage kept spreads interesting and increased coverage, because an honest depiction requires full representation of the student body.
A fun surprise was the homecoming tip-in that revealed the homecoming spirit days and the homecoming court royalty. Chronological coverage by week kept the book moving and allowed multiple topics to be covered in a spread, showing how the week would be remembered.
