2.1Student Life and Style

Student life covers activities and lifestyles in and out of school that directly affects lives of students.

This is a nice example of a layout that is about a topic

of interest to teenagers, and how life is for them at this

point in their lives, but it is not actually about school … and that’s OK! Stuff like

this will be what really catches your

eye and brings back memories when you are looking at your book in 20 years.

2.2A+ Academics

Academics covers curriculum-related experiences, wherever they take students.

I like how they’ve used the

contents of the dominant photo to come up with their headline. They are telling about what they learned in a fun and interesting

way.

2.3A Good Sport

Sports covers interscholastic competition [teams and individual sports] and personal athletic activities that students are involved in.

Example of a cut out

background (cob)

Nice play on words.

2.4The Club Beat

Clubs covers the activities of school groups, emphasizing the value of membership and experiences.

It’s ok to put text on top of photos.This line/arrow element helps draw your eye

from the dominant photo to the top of the next grouping of photos. Also

note that this double page

spread is not laid out left to right … it’s ok to do that from time to time to mix things up!

2.5People Skills

People records the school population by including portraits of students, faculty and staff. Features are provided on portrait pages to expand coverage.

2.5People Skills

Group shots should be cropped at the waist of the front row and just above the heads of the back row and displayed large enough to clearly see the faces.

It is nice to include

pictures other than action shots, this gives you

some story before and

after …
