McComb School District Project: Cover Design



This approach to the cover design included a montage of photos in a grid concept to represent the McComb School District. It was important to use a variety of images that include students, teachers, athletics and some of facilities. Two of the vertical panels are shown in lighter transparency for visual interest. The school colors are used in the banners and in the grid borders. This design was created entirely in Adobe InDesign.

McComb School Project: Informational Graphics



Whenever you have a group of numbers to work with, an informative chart can make a big difference in the visual appeal of a page. The pie chart was created in Adobe Illustrator using the chart tool and placed on the page created in InDesign. When there are too many slices in the chart to label clearly, a color-coded key can be used identify the categories. The placement of the chart with the text wrapped around it draws the eye to the center of the page.
