YEARBOOK THEME ASSIGNMENT. WHAT COMES TO MIND WHEN THINKING “HARBORD”? When we think about Harbord, many things come to mind Our school is very diverse
WHAT COMES TO MIND WHEN THINKING HARBORD? When we think about
Harbord, many things come to mind Our school is very diverse and
has a really friendly atmosphere Other words are artsy, diverse,
academic, safe, good reputation, spirited, and multicultural. Our
students are friendly intellectual, helpful, motivated, and
creative. A big thing that comes to mind when thinking Harbord is
TALENT!!! There are so many talented students past and present that
have walked our halls. Our school has a really big arts department
be it vocals, orchestra, drama, visual arts, etc. When we think
talent we think fame. Our students pride themselves in the academic
work that they do as well in their volunteer experience, this is
why we think that any bunch of them can be famous one day. When we
did some research on the school we found out that there are many
famous Harbord graduates. This is how we came up with the theme
of
Slide 3
OUR THEME Our theme is Harbord Walk of Fame It is modelled
after the Hollywood walk of fame We chose this theme because it has
never been done before, and it is really versatile There are so
many aspects that have to do with Hollywood and fame A lot can be
done with it and there are many spin offs We thought that it would
be really cool to portray a Hollywood theme and that it could
reflect the school in a way to blend both the past and present
since it is Harbords 120 th anniversary this year.
Slide 4
COVER/SPINE/BACK COVER
Slide 5
TITLE PAGE The idea for this was to make it look like an Oscar
but still have an element of our school on the title page. We put
the title in Orange so that our school is represented.
Slide 6
FOLIO TABS Our folio tab is an old film camera For the folio
tabs we wanted something to go with the Hollywood Walk of Fame
theme We think that the film camera is something different so that
we are not always using stars as this may become repetitive.
Slide 7
FRONT END SHEET
Slide 8
END SHEETS EXPLANATION We decided to use stars for our end
sheets just like on the walk of fame We wanted to keep it simple
and use light colours since this is where lots of people sign
autographs We thought that the stars were a cool touch because it
could be like each friend could write their name in the star and a
message.
Slide 9
OPENING SPREAD
Slide 10
OPENING SPREAD EXPLANATION For our opening spread we decided to
start off with all the famous people who have graduated from
Harbord Its really cool that we get to walk through the same halls
as Charles Best, Bob Rae, and Joe Pantalone to name a few. We know
that normally the first pages of the yearbook but we wanted it to
be different this year. The administration pages could possibly
come next and be titled Harbords Award Winning Administration
Slide 11
DIVIDER 1 This is our first divider. You can see the title of
the section under production. In this one its Sports On the big
screen We chose this because we thought that the clicker was
something really cool that can be used to enhance the year
book
Slide 12
DIVIDER 2 This divider is the same except for the title. We
find that this title goes more with the theme, but the other one is
more original and goes with the clicker.
Slide 13
DIVIDER 3 Another divider idea If we do not want to use this
divider for sports we could use it for clubs or arts and all we
would have to do is replace the pictures and change the Oscars
name. If everyone does not like the title on the Oscar we could
always put a title at the top of the page saying And the Oscar for
best School Clubs/Sports Teams (etc.) Goes to and then have the
schools name on the Oscar
Slide 14
CLOSING SPREAD
Slide 15
Slide 16
CLOSING SPREAD EXPLANATION For the closing spread we decided to
keep it simple since this is where some people also sign
autographs. We went with stars all around as a boarder this is the
two page spread. We then have two more single pages and this is to
go on the back of the other closing spread (like the closing spread
from 2009-2010, it was 3 pages) We could keep the last page simple
with no Oscar or picture or we can decide on one of the two
examples given.
Slide 17
BACK END SHEET
Slide 18
BACK END SHEET EXPLANATION We wanted the front and back end
sheets to match so again we went with the light pink stars. This
space is normally used for autographs and it looks really simple
and yet it ties the theme together at the same time.
Slide 19
Meaning/Relevance Our yearbook would mean a way to represent
all famous grads/students from Harbord and even those future famous
grads/students. This is relevant to the school because it can
showcase the history of the school and show everything that the
school has gone through. It is relevant to the students because
they get to see famous people from Harbord as well as see their own
classmates and friends who may one day be famous. It is relevant to
the graduating class because they will soon adventure out and start
their journey on the way to being famous. Everyone wants to feel
like a star at some point in their life time and this is our chance
to make that dream come true.
Slide 20
POSSIBLE THEME RELATED IDEAS Cool ideas that could go with this
theme are: A page on famous Harbord grads Harbord throughout the
ages We can do a where are they now page on some of Harbord's past
graduates, On Their Way to Fame/Stardom. As part of a divider we
may be able to put a movie ticket on front cover and have it say
the name of that section (ex. Clubs, Admit One) It would also be
cool to do something where we see if we can get certain teachers to
sit in a directors chair and have mugs of that. THERE ARE ENDLESS
POSSIBILITIES!!
