There are few magazine covers where the barcode is such an integral part of the design. On this cover of La Luna de Metrópoli, the barcode is infused in an illustration of the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center.
Critique - Barcode Buildings
The simplicity of the cover touches many people because of its' tragic history, as it is related to 9/11. Many will not even need to read the subtitles to understand what is going on in the scene being portrayed and its powerful message. It reminds us of how we should always remember this day, it will always be with us. The straight forward, recognizable barcode draws our attention to the smoke and title for the magazine, along with the red text on the bottom saying "WORLD TRADE CENTER", making us want to know more, to see what they have to give.
