Design For Obama: The Website and Book
I’ve written about “Brand Obama” previously; now, here’s a huge installment. RISD grad Aaron Perry-Zucker hoisted a website called Design for Obama, where artists up- and downloaded Obama poster designs during and after the election.
The hundreds of submissions (including “Did The Right Thing,” sent by Don Button days after the election) caught the attention of filmmaker Spike Lee. Lee got involved in publishing a book of 200 designs, selected and edited by Aaron and Spike.
