“When the 40,000 subscribers to Reason, the monthly libertarian magazine, receive a copy of the June issue, they will see on the cover a satellite photo of a neighborhood - their own neighborhood. And their house will be graphically circled.”. This should win every design award out there come next year.

that is SO boring! Who would want a satellite photo of their own neighborhood? puzzling.

the whole point i think is that it will shock people. Sorta like putting big brother in perspective.

The error rate between most of the commercially available satellite imagery and address data is normally pretty high, due mostly to lousy address recordkeeping. If I was a betting man, I'd wager that about 10,000 subscribers won't get a photo of their residence, but instead will get the place across the street, or a quarter mile down the road.

A similar thing was done with a subscription to a mag i had, where an advert was enclosed form some company or other, shaped as a postcard, and addressed to me. I more than double took when i saw it.
