The staff used duotones to add dimension to many of their sidebars and dominant images, and allowing for the appearance of popping out. The use of plexiglass and a laser cut on the cover allows readers to get their first peek at what’s going on inside the book.
The photography in The Lion is among the finest you will see in any yearbook, with multiple spreads featuring eye-popping dominant images. More creativity is on display on the division pages, which each feature gatefolds that provide a detailed look inside the section.
