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…
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 Harbord’s 120th anniversary this year.
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.
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.
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.
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 “Harbord’s Award Winning Administration”
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
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 .
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 Oscar’s 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
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.
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.
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.
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!!
