Capture The Flag: The Stars and Stripes in American History

Capture The Flag: The Stars and Stripes in American History by Arnaldo Testi has a very interesting design. The title creates the American flag by using left justified type. The designer separated the main title by placing it within the blue square of the flag. This looks good but I think I would have made the word "Flag" bigger than the word "The". This would add emphasis to the flag and would make the subject matter even more defined. I also think that one problem about this typographical image is that the font is left justified and the lines of text don't align at all. This is understandable since there are not many words in the title, but it does look sorta like a torn flag. This is a very simple design that still makes a point. There are really cool design ideas that are simple but still make a intricate design that makes people think. This shows that simplicity is still a great element of design and that it should not be overlooked. Over all this is a great design and it makes the cover feel professional and uniformed while maintaining simplicity and clean colors.
