- Judges' Comments
The body language of the figures in this photograph answer the question that the headline poses. The type treatment works well within the boundaries of the double truck, and it would make me read the story.
“Can Iraq Rule Itself” is fraught with symbolism and answers the headline question in the body language of the Iraqi soldiers, with a resounding “No.”
A great image which effectively answers the question in the headline. Doesn’t need additional type or design to convey the intended message.
This image, and text treatment together was effective with the sum total more than the individual parts. The text and photo worked well together to ask and further punctuate that question mark.
