The style of the artwork is typically art deco or vintage illustration, with detailed illustrations conveying a sense of glamour, style, or narrative, reflecting the editorial themes of that time.
The "Third Year" designation, appearing above or near the main cover art, is included as a reference to its original archiving/cataloging context, giving an additional layer of historical reference.
The overall design is a tribute to the power of print media and offers a wearable piece of history. It invites the viewer to reflect on a specific moment in American culture as reflected in a snapshot of print culture from the era.
