In this edition of Scientific American, there is a collage on the cover. Collages are important artistic images in the media. They can express ideas that could not be as clearly or cleverly conveyed in just a single image. This collage illustrates the idea that there is no such thing as race (genetically) or that, when it comes down it, everyone is still a typical human being regardless of their physical features. The several images of the same woman or several women displayed on the cover are placed in an adequate way, thus the collage is eye-grabbing. The fact that the heads encircle “RACE” is another nice touch. This collage shows how the images of these women (who are now in the media) are unified, and the manner in which this cover was executed was successful.
