After the “chaos” of the Bound Together book, the yearbook staff (myself especially), wanted to develop a theme that felt cleaner and more consistent throughout, so the staff landed on the name “Sharp”. And while the name was meant to serve as a representation of the cleanliness of the design, it also led to a strong visual cue that could be incorporated throughout the book: the triangle. So we leaned heavily into incorporated “sharp” shapes & typefaces throughout the book.
We also incorporated a thin sidebar along the right side of every spread because of that desire for consistency. That consistent sidebar ended up providing for an interesting & unexpected opportunity mid-year when everything got turned upside-down — and so, for our pages covering the impact of Covid in the spring of 2020, we reversed the template and placed the sidebar for those spreads on the left side.
