The theme that guided all design was “inspiring brilliance from within”. It was my intension that the theme had a double meaning: “within” can mean within a students’ mind and it can also mean within the school as a whole. I wanted to establish a micro/macro motif from the beginning.
For the yearbook cover, there are seven major color sections. Each of these colors is representative of a different grade within the school (Pre-K, K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and once all colors are combined, it creates a full visual spectrum.
Words that guided all design were: phosphorescence, shine, light, gleam, luminosity and radiance.
For the main pages of the book, the same colors used in the cover’s light beam are same colors used throughout the book, and were specific to each grade’s section.
Light bursts and beams of light are featured in the background of each page.

Robert Moton Elementary School Yearbook 2012-2013
For the 2012-2013 school yearbook design, it was my intension to create something radically different from any other ‘standard’ elementary school yearbook. The theme that guided all design was “inspiring brilliance from within”. It was my intension that the theme had a double meaning: “within” can mean within a students’ mind and it can also mean within the school as a whole.
