The Banyan
Vidya Niketan School, Nashik, annual 2025–26
A school annual is kept for decades by students, parents and teachers. It should feel like the school, not like a prospectus.
This specimen uses one candid photograph of two students walking under an umbrella and lets the jubilee carry the cover: 50 years, set large, with the story beneath.

Decisions
A candid photograph, not a posed group
Two students sharing an umbrella say more about a school than a lined-up class photo. The green of the trees becomes the cover's colour.
The anniversary as the lead
The 50 is set large in gold at the foot, with 'years of the morning bell' in italic beside it.
Lines that name people
Sports day by house, a Marathi play by Class 9, a goodbye to a teacher after 32 years: readers look for names they know.
