The quality of the content in this magazine made it my clear pick for Gold. You can truly get a feel for every community member's story at Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart in one sitting with this publication. Visually, it is impressive, but beyond that, it is a thoughtful reflection of a beautiful learning community with wonderful news to share.

The cover collage for 60th year anniversary is whimsical and creative. The historical feel connects with the theme. Solid use of the grid and a consistent design throughout help the large-scale photos shine.

A clear purpose for the magazine, neatly delivered in a contemporary format and a nice mix of media. Clearly encouraging the spirit of donating.

Right off the bat, the reader is attracted to this fun illustrative cover. Upon turning the pages, the big, bold colors and typography are coupled with a consistent design layout. There's some nice variation between articles with good visual interest in each spread, drawing the reader in. Clear callouts, some use of white space, and a well-integrated common thread throughout the magazine tie in the cover elements and colors.

I love illustrations in school magazines, and I think this execution is now among my favorites! They thoughtfully got many ideas and stories across within just a few spaces.

The inside of this issue wins for large-scale typographic elements and a clean layout that makes it easy for the reader to engage. There is a wonderful focus on the college counseling related pages with a wonderful numeric treatment to take you through the story.
