Each year Everton Park State School produces a yearbook for its graduating Year 6 students. It’s a keepsake marking the step from primary school into high school, so it had to feel worth holding onto. The school’s green and yellow stayed at the heart of the design, but unlike last year’s edition I used them as accents rather than filling every page. That gave the layouts more breathing room and a more mature feel.
Names and photographs changed for privacy.

Layered papercut waves and a sailboat add depth and a handmade feel to the captains’ messages.
