Bowie wins Design of the Year theme package category

21_NSPA Design of Year Winners_Bowie

The Lone Star’s Grace Conlan and Ryan Kinney took home first place in the Design of the Year Yearbook Theme Package category. Members of the Bowie yearbook staff heard the news in person as they attended a small workshop NSPA hosted in lieu of the fall convention.

“The best themes become mantras or slogans for the year and ‘tbd’ resonated during a year full of more questions than answers,” Bowie adviser Lindsey Shirack said. “Ryan and Grace decided the constant refrain of ‘tbd, tbd, tbd’ needed to be visually represented and did a beautiful job overlapping elements and developing the design to support their verbal extensions.”

Foster High School, who was also a finalist in the theme category, received Honorable Mention. McCallum High School took fourth in the Yearbook Spread category. In the Informational Graphics category, Bellaire High School was third, Bridgeland High School fourth and McCallum High School Honorable Mention.

In the COVID-19 Reporting category, Bridgeland High School received Honorable Mention.

The winners were announced in a ceremony that was shared virtually, Saturday, Nov. 13. Congratulations to all the winners!
