Student Designed Yearbook Covers

For the first time Greenville will have a student designed yearbook cover. All four of my 5th grade classes talked about being a graphic designer and designing a cover for our client, Greenville Elementary. We talked about what needed to be on the cover and looked at our previous 3 yearbooks.
I had the difficult job of narrowing down the final 10 best and then they all got hung in the hallway for a vote - it was supposed to be for faculty and staff but I think some students snuck a few votes in too. So the winner got the cover and the other 9 will be on the back with their names...
the winner...

They all did a great job - I think I have a few future graphic designers. This is a great way to show students some real world application of art related careers.
