Designs On The White House
A designer assesses the posters and logos of various candidates in the presidential race. Obama doesn't get high grades:
Beautiful but empty. Tries hard to avoid the traditional vocabulary of political design but ends up using the same familiar tropes—patriotic colors, red and white stripes, heavy handed Steinbeckian symbolism, and even a font named Perpetua.
