Abstract Details

2013, MDES, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Design.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the emotional use of illustration on the front pages of various newspapers published in the United States on the 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and identify trends in illustration types and the use of symbolism. The 9/11 attacks were the worst act of terror that ever happened in the United States. However, the 9/11 terrorist attacks gave editorial designers a big challenge on the front page design, especially on imagery, since it has a strong impact on a publication's feel. In post-9/11 journalism, the tenth anniversary editions of the terrorist attacks were made to be more special and meaningful. This study is intended to provide the field of editorial design with a helpful understanding of the use of symbolism in editorial illustrations to enhance emotional expression.
