I am mesmerized by the spiraling background...

The strong vertical bar-code lines are balanced by the silhouette of the man. They give a sci-phi impression of, Man vs. Bar-Code.

The rough bit-mapped quality of the type complements the bar- code and numerals. The utilization of all lowercase for the title, illustrates the word unincorporated. As if this man is unimportant, an insignificant cog in the machine or mechanism of life.

The bright yellow color of the title text complements and brings balance to the abundance of dark blue.



Its kind of creepy...

The image of the little girl's fragmented photograph is very arresting. The subtle color variation of the multi-panel layout, divided by the "Rule of Thirds" creates a rhythm that is echoed in the contrasting colors and alignment of the text.

The elongated height and line weight of the sans-serif typeface is repeated with the irregular grid lines. Overall great unity, and really illustrates the books title. But I won't read it...I don't like stories about possible bad things happening to little girls.
