Judge’s Comments

Jim Grim, judge • Division 2
Connersville High School
Edition judged: Cohiscan 2003

This edition of the Cohiscan captures the gamut of activities at Connersville H.S. in a truly captivating package. The theme, “Make Your Mark,” unifies the extensive student coverage, beginning on the cover with a clever Post-It inset. Reflecting this theme element, Post-It art reappears throughout the book, both with information and for making-your-own notations. Color use in photography, screens, and typography is simply beautiful. Photos generally capture action-packed coverage that is supported by depth captions with creative lead-ins.

Contemporary, attractive typography, particularly for headlines and scoreboards, that works well with the clean, attractive design packaging. Good use of students in ads. Additional impressive notations include a complete index, copy that tells the year’s story in interesting feature fashion, and obvious attention to detail throughout.

Congratulations to the student journalists and adviser involved in producing this yearbook. It is one Connersville readers should truly cherish.
