Why Not

2012 Quiver

Alongside a huge asterisk, colorful bars and the main heading on the cover’s front flap, readers find the impetus behind the theme: “*A functional analysis of the student body.” The first theme copy appears as cool type-as-art on the endsheet, which reinforces the black on gray asterisk, the color palette, the use of all-caps sans serif paired with a curvy seriffed accent while introducing the new book plan. Traditional sections are grouped together to create three sections that join forces to explain why the year came together as it did. Deciding that it would be hard (if not impossible) to predict or measure the effects of a new principal, new superintendent, new athletic director, new classes and new policies, the editors and staff chose to examine the hows and whys instead. All thematic pages in the colorful volume remain true to the three introduced on the cover, but pick-up colors accent layered coverage spreads featuring the same distinctive font pair and diagonal influences.
