2021 Entourage Yearbook Contest Winner

Best Photography — 2nd Place

Part of what makes the spring track and field sport so exciting is the variety of different events all taking place around the field. In working to capture these events, we managed to record one of our pole vaulter’s entire journey up and over the vault. These images were presented together in the completed book. This image is the third shot, his final crossing of the vault just before the descent.

Best Overall Yearbook — 3rd Place

As almost every school this year knows, building a yearbook during a pandemic, when almost every student and teacher is remote and apart, is a big challenge. With this limitation, we looked to what was still going strong for where to focus: our sports, our students’ jobs, new cars, interests. This time has been so new and strange, we took the opportunity to be an anchor, something familiar for all during this year.

Best Page Design — Honorable Mention

Each of our sports pages worked to bring together shorts of our athletes in action, a team shot, and a personal narrative or interview with a single athlete focusing on their experience as part of the team. We found a key design format that we used to template each of our sports spreads making unique modifications for each to best highlight the team and action shots we captured during games.

A Year Apart

The 2020–2021 school year was completed almost entirely remotely by most of our peers.

Finding moments to come together was harder than before, but that made it all the more special.

The 2021 yearbook was an opportunity to celebrate the moments with others we were able to create.

The COVER Story:

Map Your Path

In a year where we were scattered across all of New Brunswick learning remotely, there was no better way to represent our "school" and "classroom" than with a view of our whole city.

This turned into creating a stylized version of an aerial map as our yearbook cover.

The parallelograms holding our cover text became a repeated pattern throughout the book.

Team Work

Sports were one of the first places the zebras were able to gather.

All of our teams worked hard both on the field and off to show up safe, healthy, and ready to play.

SPOTLIGHT:

The Culture Pages

While we may not have been in school together, the NBHS community still had many shared experiences and cultural moments.

After putting out a student poll and tabulating the results, the yearbook team set about defining the pop culture icons, shows, songs, and tech that occupied our time in quarantine.
