With the image that I found below, I thought that it was an image that reflects America in general even after the war is over. Made in 1942 this image shows the answer to the needs of the US for the war. I thought that it was ironic that still today we produce many of the items we use here in the United States in order to meet the demands of many manufactures. One problem that still exhists is that America is outsourcing all of its manufacturing and slowly letting other countries take our technology to use it for their well being.
The overall graphic design principle is very well thought out . The hand with the leather glove turning the wrench is just a icon for what most of the factory workers still do "wrench turners". I really do enjoy the lighting of glove as if the worker is working on something that is hot and does not want to get his hands burned. The type is original by todays standards and would have been really good.

I had never heard of the terminology wrench turners. How fitting! I like the "o" has a nut and bolt.
I like this image as well. It is an important part of our society, especially during and after the war.
I really enjoyed your perception on the image. Manufacturing was important then as well as now.
