Mod Design tells the story of your school

Good design help to tell a story, We came across this article that helps explain how we get inspired to design. READ HERE.

We are excited to bring this design concept to your school. Based on Swiss Design, Square ONE takes mod design and propels it to the next level. eDesign has all the Mod templates ready for you to load into your library.

ACTIVATING TEMPLATES

In the Library, go to the Template Section and click the button under Import Items. Select Import HJ Templates and click Next. In the Square One folder, you’ll see options for Separator Templates and Full Templates. Select and activate the templates you desire.

ACTIVATING MODS

In the Library, go to the Pop-ins section and click the button under Import Items. In the Square One folder, you’ll see mods organized by their grid dimensions. Select and activate the mods you desire.

This concept is not new, what is new is how we make your job easier and a true learning experience. This system of design allows beginner designers to visualize a design and then put it on the computer easily. The premise is to increase book sales by increasing yearbook coverage in an attractive fun way. Designs become visual in the staffs minds.

We incorporate webbing exercises and team building research projects with design basics. Then within HJeDesign the staff can make their visions come to life with an all new grid system and spacers. Each pop-in or mod can be saved separately to be used again creating consistency in design. Square ONE also helps you make flexible templates that add variety and imagination to your publication. Contact us today to set an appt.

We often go to the default of what needs to be covered in our student life section: Prom,
Homecoming, & Spirit Week. Fun mods are a great way to engage the reader and include more kids. Below are some mod ideas.
