Student Media is at it again.
We just got through rolling out an iPhone app, and the editors at Gumbo, your yearbook, are launching another techy treat — an online yearbook.
This Gumbo 2.0 will feature every glossy spread the printed book holds plus additional features that couldn’t quite fit between the bindings — all in stunning hi-res quality you can keep forever.
Still not impressed?
We have the capability to inject multimedia into the online page spreads, so if you’re looking at football game photos or reading about the basketball season, you can watch it, too. Flash mob? Done. Student protest? It’s there.
Gumbo and The Daily Reveille are one entity this year for the first time, which means your Gumbo book will feature all the beautiful photography and design you expect plus some real Reveille coverage of events and issues — well worth the $50.
But the new online version is free to anyone with an lsu.edu e-mail address through a license for the entire University through LifePages.
So buy your classic Gumbo book for a piece of history from your time at LSU — you can order it now and pay later on your fee bill. But if you can’t spring the cash, at least check out the digital yearbook. Whatever you do, just don’t miss the excellent work your fellow students are putting together in the best Gumbo yet.
Check out proofs of spreads and videos from the new book now at lifepages.com/preview/lsu.
