11:00 AM – Tim Blackmore – Book Signing
Tim Blackmore, author of Gorgeous War, will be signing in the OBP Pavilion on Friday at 11:00 AM. Gorgeous War argues that the Nazis used the swastika as part of a visually sophisticated propaganda program that was the forerunner of contemporary brand identity. When the United States military tried to answer Nazi displays of graphic power, it failed and turned to Walt Disney.
