Oberlin College Viewbook
From the Nominator
Oberlin College published a new viewbook in 2020 intended for high school juniors, seniors, and their families. Slightly oversized and featuring a foil-stamped, text-only cover, the viewbook uses bold, compelling photos; chunky blocks of text; and infographics to highlight Oberlin’s unique position in the college marketplace.
Sprinkled throughout the book are half-page insets, printed on a lighter paper stock, that offer lists of majors, musical ensembles, and other nuts-and bolts information. This allowed us to keep the viewbook itself at a manageable 44 pages.
From the Judges
This piece did an amazing job communicating the unique features that set Oberlin apart. It gave us a real feel for the institution and its culture. Well done!
