For the high school course guides I was focused on getting a central theme and it was being almost like a hive made of different opportunities and skills. I wanted to add skills that really do help you in the future such as band med school and metal working. for the order of the schools on the cover I didn't want any superiorty so I randomly picked were they go with no obvious patterns and all the schools are attached to at least one other school to indicate that no school is alone but part of a district and is linked. 

For the middle school course guides I was looking more at a subject based image and not life skills because middle school has a lot less opportunities available life wise. and for the school logos I chose a random order with no pattern again in hopes there would be as least superiority as possible.
