Section Dividers

Yup, these are painted bodies. (And, yup, Greeks are black and white tushes!) The entire staff (but mostly the Core editors) worked as a team to get these accomplished in ONE DAY. This was an incredible shoot to art direct and participate it. Chris Rackliffe, the Editor-in-Chief, has said that he's never felt more creative in his whole life than the day spent shooting these divider pages.
Leah Adams, the Photo editor, and Kara Dapena, the former Assistant Design Director, constructed the "set" and were the real work horses that made this happen -- Kara did a majority of the painting and Leah did all the photography.
The missing section is "Organizations," and also happens to be my favorite! We're waiting to find out how many group photos we're going to end up with, as well as which student organizations will be spotlighted within the section so we can spotlight them on the divider.

The Cover

Very exciting. I have finished the cover design for the 2009 Ibis. There is a slight lime green stroke around the "IAM" of "MIAMI" because our theme for this book is "I AM ... MIAMI".

VT Game Feature (Football Gatefold)

Spread before the football gatefold (insert) about the last home game. The game was against VT, and was an important one for the 'Canes to win. We weren't supposed to win, but we did. This was a powerful and special game for seniors especially, who have only experience the 'Canes in a lull. I used Illustrator to create the mask, Bridge to view and select the photos I wanted (we have excellent photographers this year), and InDesign to bring the whole thing together.

Tentative Greek Sub-Divider pages

Tentative pages because the "National Association of Latino Organizations" page really bothers me, and the Greek section editors are working to track down group photos of these councils to add to these pages.
