WLHS Earns Jostens National Yearbook Design Recognition
Wisconsin Lutheran's yearbook, The Compass, has been recognized for excellence and featured in the 2017 Jostens Look Book, celebrating the best-of- the-best in yearbook design and coverage. The Jostens Look Book is a collection of spreads and photos from outstanding yearbooks and their creative themes, cool covers, dazzling designs, relevant coverage, storytelling copy and action-packed photography. Along with design excellence, the annually published Look Book honors the important role well-crafted yearbooks play in helping schools chronicle the experiences, stories and achievements most relevant to students and that academic year.
This year's Compass was created by students under the direction of Mrs. Leanne Ross, WLHS yearbook adviser. The Compass was one of only 418 yearbooks selected from approximately 3,000 and one of six from Wisconsin. The 2017 panel of judges, comprised of nationally recognized scholastic journalism professionals and award-winning yearbook advisers, selected the best examples of yearbook spreads and covers to make up the 296-page 2017 Look Book.
“Yearbooks are unique, limited edition books created by students to capture the stories and events for all of the school’s students and Jostens is proud to celebrate the yearbook tradition and the 418 yearbooks selected for the 2017 Jostens Look Book, said Gary Lundgren, editor. “Today’s yearbooks are very sophisticated in terms of visual presentation and the relevant and inclusive content that is featured.”
