ahh i hope you guys dont mind but i fixed a small typo in the memory book <3
also, would there be any way to change the background images for the sci-fi section? <3 alpine tundras tend to have a bit less snow and a bit more plantlife <3 if not its totally fine, the ones already there are beautiful as well ehehe!!

Hi Zion! (and just a general message for everyone <3)

I wanted to let you all know that you can of course change the design of certain pages if you think a different looked would better suffice the “vibes” of specific pages - especially if they are your cabin pages ^^' Adding onto this, you also don't have to ask/notify if you'd like to change some smaller things, because after all, we all own this memory book as a committee <3

Though, if you are planning on making some “bigger-scale” changes, it would be great if you could just post a comment here or on the forum just to keep everyone notified ^^'

That brings me to my last point - we know that in the past there has been a common misconception that only people belonging to a certain cabin can design those certain pages/that your responsibility is to design your cabin pages (eg: you're in classics and only design their pages). This is not true at all! We'd love for you to go and experiment with other cabins (though try not to change things people have done drastically ^^'), and would honestly encourage you to design pages that also don't belong to your cabin (hosts, daily team, etc.) <3 This way we can spread out the workload while also building a smaller community amongst ourselves <3

Tasks for now: (while we wait for subthemes to fully come in <3)
  • Design the pages at the front (hosts, leaders, mbc, judges, etc) - this seems done for the most part!
  • Create reference pages for each cabin (on the slide with every cabin's colors, add their respective fonts, related images, etc – for some of these, you may have to reach out to respective leaders as we don't have representation from all of the cabins ;D)

That's it for now! Let me know if you have any questions <3
The memory book is looking amazing so far!

Don't worry about that - we can sort that out when the time comes ;D
So feel free to use Canva pro!

Hi! I haven’t seen any official results for the font voting, but it seems like our header is Best Light. What was voted as body font?

I think it's Kabel, since that's what's on the table of contents, but I'm not entirely sure- I was wondering as well.

That was what confused me, since Kabel wasn’t a font that was voted for at all.

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the delay on this (we just needed to sort a few finer details regarding the header and body font being used this session, so we truly appreciate your patience) <3 That being said – the header font for this session will be Best Light and the body font being used this session will be Just Another Hand. Thank you all for taking the time to vote, happy designing! ;D

Just Another Hand is about 8 pixels smaller than Kabel, so sorry if proportions turn out a little wonky :>

Ahah don't worry about that - we'll have to adjust everything accordingly bit by bit, but I suppose that's fine!
We still have quite some time on our hands ;D I'll come on to the Canva and help you with the changes <3
