McLuhan Yearbook Cover Assignment

"They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but a good cover will help you sell more books."

Using Adobe Photoshop or CorelDraw, create a cover for the Notre Dame High School Yearbook. Take the suggested theme of the yearbook below and create—to the best of your abilities—a yearbook cover that will grab the reader’s attention.

Think of the school population and create a cover that will appeal to most of the students at Notre Dame. It is impossible to appeal to every student but try. When creating the cover, remember that the theme will have to be carried out throughout the book and of course, it has to be school appropriate.

The Cover
♦ 8.5 x 11 on white, blank paper (the actual cover will be a bit bigger)
♦ 300 DPI and in CMYK Colour Space
♦ The cover MUST have a central focus
♦ Should include the following Info:
Notre Dame High School
2010-2011
School crest and motto(option)

Themes:
A time for change
A galaxy of possibilities
A glance back
A gold standard
Above the crowd
Absence of moderation
Abstractions
etc...
or make up your own theme:)
