St. Anne’s 30th-anniversary celebratory yearbook

The school wanted to encapsulate the era of 30 years ago and carry it on into the present. The cassette tape was a perfect symbol of the past. Times may change and the way we listen to music may have changed, but the core of music is always there. Just like the school may have had many changes in students and time, but the core of the school still rings true. Click on the image to read the rest of the post.

A theme that celebrates the post pandemic

The theme “change” is significant because it represents the first year students came back to school after the pandemic. Each student endured radical change during and after the pandemic. The staff and adviser wanted to recognize the change and look toward new beginnings that the next school year would bring. Click on the image to read the full story.

A pop-up solution

This pop-up is significant because it is what attracted Grande Mesa Academy to United Yearbook!

The idea behind a color palette

We dedicated our first meeting (with Geffen Academy’s Yearbook team) to teach them about our online design software. We went over vital features to get the students started on the program. The staff was able to start uploading photos, organizing them, tagging them, and plugging them into the page layout. We also helped them troubleshoot how to autoflow student portraits by grade level.

The peek-a-flap yearbook

​The peek-a-flap yearbook was produced for St. Anne’s preschool. It was meant for a younger audience and was created to be fun and interactive for the preschoolers. The assistant director, Leslie Gibson, wanted something extraordinary because it was part of their 30th-year anniversary.

A sleeve with a movable clapper

The yearbook staff from Saint Ann created this "straight out of Hollywood" yearbook with a movable director's clapper attached to the sleeve! The design idea came from the yearbook theme, Hall of Fame. As they passed around the freshly printed copy, they tested out the clapper by moving it back and forth. The last student who was handed the copy gently slid the yearbook out from the sleeve and showed it to his fellow staff members. Click on the image to read the full story.

An adviser’s care and precision

This yearbook is a wonderful example of how an adviser’s care and precision goes a long way for the staff members and the final yearbook. When we received the files for this yearbook, one of our yearbook representatives needed to call yearbook adviser, Chris Botello, and let him know how impressed we were by the yearbook’s professionalism.

The theme title on the hinge

The theme and concept of this book is beautiful. It shows deep roots, life, and growth through the symbolism of a tree. We think of time going forward and the growth that comes as time passes. This school has a religious background and branches are often symbolic of being connected with the source which (in this case) is the tree. The school specifically asked for cross-grain embossing throughout the book. Click on the image to read the full story.
