Cover Styles
To reflect the personality of Wake Forest University, there are two styles of covers, symbolizing our respect for tradition as well as our passion for progress. Both samples use a single dominant photograph.
Contemporary Cover
This style represents the forward-thinking nature of the University.
Traditional Cover
This style is used for more formal communications, such as graduation materials, invitations and announcements.
