The artwork for this chapter is meant to emphasize context. The street logos opening this chapter, as well as the work of Mark veldhuijzen van Zanten and Geert Mul, must be experienced in a context to fully appreciate their meaning.

Also for the MRE application, it is the context, in this case the stress and anxiety of a war situation, that determines the impact. The photorealistic graphic style of MRE, wellknown by the trainees from other games, is meant to strengthen the experience of immersion. Notice that the street logos assume an almost iconic character.
