The Blaze Indian Trail High School and Academy Kenosha, Wisconsin 8LIQI “Stepping Out” Adviser: Michelle Corbett )HMXSV Isabella Waldschmidt Walsworth Reps: Jenn Weith, Kathryn Hurley With the rise in popularity of the app BeReal, many yearbook staffs made a great choice to include the topic in their ladders. The Blaze took a unique approach by featuring a student portrait with a zoomed in look of the social media app as it loads. The contrast of the white and yellow on the black background worked well, and the pull quote especially draws readers’ attention. The asymmetrical box as an aspect of the pull quote connected to the use of lines throughout the book to tie in the “Stepping Out” theme. The creative module “How real are you?” asked students to decide what they would stop doing to take their BeReal, which was interesting to read.
