Yearbook

I worked on the Hamlin High School Yearbook for three years. In my first year I took the role of design editor. As design editor I created all the section design templates and the cover (shown below). My junior year I added the athletics section editor to my list of responsibilities, and my senior year I added overall editor to the list. In my three years, the Hamlin High School yearbook earned All-State honors all three times, due in large part to good design.

Yearbook Covers
Designing the covers was by far my favorite part of the entire process. The 1999 and 2001 covers are shown below. Regretfully, I did not design the 2000 cover, and the yearbook was left with a generic stock cover. Click on the thumbnails below for a larger view and some details.

Sample Pages from the 2001 Yearbook
Designing page templates was another very satisfying part of the job. By creating well designed templates, the yearbook started with a huge advantage every year.

Athletic Division
A typical division page. The division pages were one of my most unique designs. This design was only modified slightly from the one used the previous year.

Homecoming
A typical student life page. The student life design template was one of the simplest yet it was still clean, sharp, and modern looking.

Golf
This page has the distinction of being the first all digital page in a Hamlin yearbook, meaning the pictures were scanned in at the high school rather than at the publisher. That is why there are pictures on this page as opposed to the blue boxes on the other two.
