Sign of the Times … and Miller-McCune
An adaptation of an iconic Southern California freeway sign
graces the cover of the premiere issue of Miller-McCune magazine. We used the image for our cover story regarding a European trade model that could help solve the U.S. immigration
problem.

An article in today’s Los Angeles Times focuses on John Hood, the California Department of
Transportation graphic artist who designed the immigrant “Caution” image.
Times writer Scott Gold notes that while sign was meant to
serve as a warning that drivers could encounter people racing across Interstate
5 in San Diego County, it has “become one of the most iconic and enduring
images associated with the nation’s war over illegal immigration.”
We felt the same way.
