Life as an Editor:

          Laney was the editor in cheif of her high school yearbook along with her twin sister, Marie Fazio, and her best friend, Joanna Chang. Laney won the 2011 Yearbook Award at Byram Hills High School for outstanding work on the yearbook. This award is not given every year, only years when outstanding work has been shown.
          Laney is currently one of two design editors of The George Washington University Cherry Tree Yearbook. The Cherry Tree has a website that can be found here. On this website she has a quite boring staff bio that can be seen here. She clearly didnt know she was allowed to be fun instead of serious. Laney is also an admin of the Cherry Tree Yearbook facebook page. Check it out and like the page here! Laney is more than just a yearbook designer, she has had some pretty cool accomplishents!



CSPA Spring Convention Speaker 2011:
          As a senior in high school, Laney and fellow editors-in-chief were invited to speak at The Columbia Scholastic Press Association's Spring Convention with Herff Jones Representative Jim Mielty. Being invited to speak at CSPA is considered to be prestigious. Very few high school students get to speak at CSPA conventions.
          Laney and fellow editors spoke about the ad, also known as tributes or accolades, section of the yearbook. Looking at old yearbooks there is that terribly ugly ads section in the end where nothing matches. They spoke about streamlining the process to make an ads section that is not only attractive but also cohesive with the rest of the yearbook. Their presentation was called "Breaking Your Ad Tradition." The description of the presentation was "Learn how to reinvent your ad section and streamline your marketing campaign, payment process, and method of accepting all materials. No more missing checks, random ad formats or parent-designed ads. Get an increase of ads by 20%. Samples, links and ad designs will be shared." Laney also had a bio in the CSPA booklet, it said "Laney Fazio ce eighth grade and is now an editor-in-chief of the Arch Yearbook at Byram Hills High School in Armonk, NY. Laney plans to get a masters degree in Mathematics and Education. As a high school math teacher, Laney also hopes to be a yearbook adviser."

The 2011 Yearbook Expo:

          Laney's senior year yearbook was on display at the 2011 Herff Jones Yearbook Expo as one of the best yearbooks in Westchester County, NY that year. Laney and her fellow editors-in-chief were all finalists for the Herff Jones Dale Award. The Dale Award is given to a graduating editor who showed great commitment to the yearbook over their high school career. The DALE recipient is someone who possesses noble qualities of mind and character. He or she is determined, creative, considerate, responsible, respectful and a team player. He or she acts with integrity, humility, and sincerity. Laney did not win the Dale Award, her fellow editor Joanna Chang won, but it is still an accomplishment to be 1 of 8 finalists. The following photos are photos of spreads from Laney's yearbook that were highlighted at the 2011 Yearbook Expo. To see all photos from the 2011 Yearbook Expo click here.
