Caught Our Eye

The book has a classic, clean feel, a great use of black and white photography without overdoing it. The Marquee staff understood that black and white photography could be impactful in the right context. Their layouts were consistent but not boring, and despite not including stories on many of their spreads, the staff figured out ways to highlight so many students with extensive captions, Q&As and quote sidebars, allowing participants to tell the story.

The theme “So Many Questions, Finding Our Answers” was illustrated on so many spreads, especially pages 82-83 when the staff found out answers while “exposing” the hidden rooms on campus and how they were utilized.
