      Drawing from their experience renovating their school, the 2019 Munhinotu staff applied an architectural feel to their yearbook through the theme “Elevate.” They made a seal on the cover reminiscent of a structural engineer’s approval seal that was used consistently throughout the book as a graphic element along with ghosted blueprints in the background. The look heavily utilized black and white with several colors used as accents throughout the book, including notes handwritten over the copy in red. But the theme "Elevate" was also used to express how they rose from each failure life threw, stronger as a result. Gresham students are resilient and "elevated" their game in the face of adversity.

      The perfect execution of theme could not have been easy given that two senior boys were the only returning staff - the rest were brand new. Their masculine influence is noticeable and stands out on the pages. They balanced the right amount of white space with the text of their full stories to accompany spreads.

      They took chances with the typographical design, slashing or transforming letters and playing with the alignment, that paid off well as each spread felt specially designed with a clearly unified yet still visibly independent from the next spread. Also notable was their incorporation of Spanish into the book. Subheads and other text were frequently spotted in Spanish throughout the book, making it more of an accurate reflection of their student body. They stressed that like the school renovations, this was phase one - now onto phase two. The staff certainly managed to elevate this yearbook, and we look forward to what comes next from them.
