Case Study
A stunning campus with a castle, state-of-the art academic facilities, and an engaged community—these are all part of the Noble & Greenough experience. To capture the ethos of the school and entice prospective families to visit (95 percent apply after touring the school), we created a lifestyle-like publication for the school’s viewbook.
Visually-rich with images, the piece features photographs from four award-winning photographers, all selected for their unique lens. Each photographer spent the day with a different student, photographing their individual Nobles’ experience. The ability for us to provide multiple student perspectives was particularly important because Nobles cannot invite prospective students to visit the school for a day due to the large number of applicants.
Throughout the publication there were intentional visual pauses to conceptually represent the balance of academic rigor and time for reflection. Additional community voices are represented with engaging portrait photography. The piece closes with a playful and informative graphic, making the application and financial aid process much less daunting—and a lot more fun!
