FOREWARD

The past is prologue Shakespeare, The Tempest

In 2016, Indiana will become the 19th state to cele-brate abicentennial. Over the past years the state has identi-fied fourteen official aspects that make Indiana unique. Theyrange from the flag, to a song, and a slice of a pie! Ourclass project has included two more that we hope will beproposed, voted on and become part of what makes Indiana great!

The Visual Communications Design spring 2015 class at Purdue has undertaken the research, writing, and designof 16 books that document and celebrate these histor-icsymbols of Indiana.
