With the 2019 edition of The Tartan, the Homestead High staff set out to create a memorable compilation of their school’s “successes, memories and stories.” For the seniors, that meant covering the past four years. What they discovered about their time at Homestead, as is the case at most high schools, is that “The only constant was change.”
On the cover, that all-important word “change” was accentuated in cyan, magenta and yellow. The staff used those colors, along with black, as the book’s color palette. Divided up by chronological coverage, each section had a primary color. The opening and closing copy tied into the theme well, highlighting various ways student life at Homestead changed over the past four years.
There was a constant shift on display visually that tied to the theme, with letters and photos overlaid over each other, representative of the ever-shifting times and change they experienced throughout high school. The book will serve as a reminder of the way things once were when they look back years later after so many life changes.
