Newsweek cover

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

The latest Newsweek cover is a better-than-usual typographic treatment:

There is one major flaw, however: the asterisk should be adjacent to "Muslim," and both it and its footnote (*who isn't actually any of these things") should be white instead of red. The existing design appears to state that "president" is another of the things that Obama isn't.

Upon reflection, this image reminds me a bit of the cover of Geoffrey Nunberg's 2006 book Talking Right:
