The selected range is intended to gauge the specifics of a direction that the committee can see the cover resolved with.
One feature that the design team and I really like is the way the layout repeats across multiple publications when they are positioned next to each other.
Although thinking about this now it seems quite logical, at the time of designing this wasn't a specific feature we intended to create... however, it works great to enhance the appeal of the book (especially whilst thinking ahead towards when the yearbooks may be stacked in piles at shows such as Free Range).
The one thing I would suggest is that the spine on the text should drop to title case to match the inside pages of the book...
Lastly, I much prefer the use of Quicksand on these covers (the lighter and rounder typeface), but I have quite a strong feeling that the designs utilising this won't stand out as much as the committee would like. It would be a shame to not use a cover typeface that matched the inside of the publication in my opinion, but we will have to see what the client prefers.
