We The People


25 Years of Book Cover Art
Wendell Minor Art for the Written Word, p46

This picture brings out the patriotism in me. It's such a strong image. Just 3 hats and 3 words - but, oh, what those 3 hats and 3 words represent! Unity is found in the repetition of hats and the proximity of all of the images. Emphasis is created by contrast in color with the bright red popping out. Balance is asymmetrical by postion. Rhythm can be seen in the pleated pin on the American Revolution hat. Depth is seen by the shadows. And color harmony is found with the earthtone colors.
