PHOTO BY VICTOR PAREJA-MARIN 19 9 9 . . . The final year of the decade, century and millenium. 0k, technically some people can argue with me about this, but January 1st, 2000 marks the date when many computers will go berzerk! CinK D Storming Beyond... the theme of this year's IBIS defined the way we perceived the year 1999. Swing dancing quickly made its way back to the dance floor in 1999. Music favorites included Alternative, Modern Rock, and Ska just to name a few. Sport utility vehicles were the hot modes of transportation. Although many college traditions remained unchanged, the Coral Gables campus and its inhabitants evolved along with the rest of the world. Today many of us wondered what will lie beyond the year 2000. As technology advanced rapidly, so did we. As we make the transition to the new millenium, we will leave behind a century that created its foundation. INTRODUCTION After the success of last years 1998 IBIS iiDynamicfi I felt that this years IBIS needed to be more refined. I wanted the 1999 IBIS to take on a magazine format I'U illustrating the trends in desktop publishing and t0 incorporating more web- style 0 graphics. A yearbook should always be a photo book, with less copy. I acquired a font called MetaPlus for stories and captions, improving readability and graphically enhancing the look of the pages. We added an animation to the folios lpage numbersi so that when you flip through the book, the logo will transform into a hurricane and then into a flying ibis. For the First time in the IBIS Yearbook's 73 years of existence, seniors will be printed in color. Awesome! Athletics were divided into Fall and Spring sports with a larger gallery. Organizations were given the opportunity to submit a logo to complement their group photo and an improved index to emulate a telephone directory eliminating duplication of names. Overall , I hope the refinements made this year will set a standard for futureeditionsofthelBlS. ..
