Michael Green: Unity Through Design: The Power of Flags

Flags may be the most underrated and yet the most powerful pieces of design. They can invoke feelings of pride, anger, or fear; we will die for them, or even kill for them. By examining how we feel about these everyday symbols, we can realize the immense power held inside simple pieces of colored cloth. Only then can we attempt to harness the power of flags to inspire us, not to further divide ourselves, but to unite us as a planet and as a species.
