One Nation


1. Describe what it is? This is a book about September 11th.
2. Describe its function? To try and get the message across how dramatic that day was.  To make you proud to be an American. 
3. Describe where you saw it? I first saw it at a book store and knew I had to have it.
4. Discuss the style of the design and typography? The style is modern the layout is simple yet does a good job in getting the message across. There is not much type yet the type is a focal point because of it's size and color.  If you look closely you can see that the background is made up of thousands of little pictures of the many people that were lost that day in September. 
5. Discuss the quality of artwork?  I think that the quality is very good.  The design is very professional done and makes you want to read what is inside. 
6. Discuss what attracted you to this piece? I really like the background of the cover- i like how the little pictures of people that were involved in the attacks come together to make the flag of the United States of America.  The text of "One Nation" makes everything come together. Everything is very well thought out.
