A bright yellow background is a bold contrast with the central image, which is predominantly in blue, red and white. A white banner ribbons across the page, with the title in red and white (on the banner's blue reverse side). Images are tucked into and around the banner: the Statue of Liberty, the American flag, a baseball, a First Nation totem, Route 66 logo, the White House and six stars.

A 'Granny Smith's' apple shade of green is the background colour. A large off-centre white circle shows the title, under which is a yellow ochre strip that divides the page horizontally at a slight angle. This shows the tag line. These are surrounded by cartoon hands, of varying tones and sleeve colours, which point upwards. One hand is pointing to text on a screen. Speech bubbles, a pencil, quotation marks, a loud speaker and an ear all contribute to the communication theme.
