This yearbook marks St. Anne’s 30th-anniversary celebration! To honor this milestone, the school aimed to capture the essence of the era from 30 years ago while bridging it to the present day. The cassette tape was chosen as the perfect symbol—nostalgic for the past yet still relatable to today’s students. While the way we listen to music has evolved, the heart of music remains constant. Likewise, St. Anne has seen many changes over the years, but its core values continue to resonate.

​

When the adviser presented the cassette tape concept, United Yearbook got to work. We carefully studied real cassette tapes to understand their distinct details and textures. To recreate the look and feel as authentically as possible, we recommended several print treatments. We used die-cuts to mimic the iconic tape shape and included the familiar indents used to fast-forward or rewind. Embossing and debossing were applied to reflect the tape’s tactile highs and lows.

​

The adviser also supplied original artwork featuring masking tape labels. To replicate the texture and visual feel of real tape, we added a spot matte finish around those areas—creating the illusion that masking tape was actually adhered to the cover.

​

To tie it all together, we added blue foil stamping, aligning with St. Anne’s brand color. United Yearbook was proud to offer these enhancements at no additional cost to help St. Anne celebrate this special milestone in a memorable and meaningful way.
