AUB 's Golden Issue yearbook of 2015-2016 concept and cover

AUB 's Golden Issue yearbook of 2015-2016 concept

the concept was to embrace the AUB history in a contemporary touch 
After researching all of the past yearbooks on campus I was mostly inspired by the 1970s yearbook 
It was an amazing edition. 

The cover was a recreation of an image taken by an AUB student from the 1970s yearbook. 
The image portrait two students standing opposite to each other holding umbrellas right in front of our west hall. I looked up the photographer's name and found that he has become a well-known doctor in his field. This is where I started thinking of the universality of our lives, of time, of the college experience. these ideas inspired the theme "a century and a half later"

So here are a couple of images from the book

Stranger to Myself


Maybe I was never me
Maybe I was never anything 
Maybe I'm just a floating body of unfinished thoughts
and hidden conflicts 
about the knowing and not knowing of everything 
do I know?
I know nothing of me
I'm a stranger
