Design for Obama the Book: From the moment it was conceived, the Barack Obama campaign was destined to make history. Its message of inclusion and empowerment was spread throughout the nation by tens of thousands of volunteers, drawn together by a grassroots organization of unprecedented size and enthusiasm. Design for Obama built upon this spirit by creating an online forum for artists, designers, and advocates, where they could upload their artworks and download others, all for free. Shephard Fairey's social realist "Hope" poster became 2008's enduring image, inspiring scores of artists to take their designs to the streets, rallies and registration drives, and homes and in offices around the country. Edited from hundreds of submissions by designforobama.org founder and designer Aaron Perry-Zucker and filmmaker, author, and activist Spike Lee, this collection showcases the 250 best posters since the site's inception. The contributors range from prominent graphic and street artists to young up-and-comers. With essays by Lee, Perry-Zucker, and noted design historian Steven Heller, this outstanding poster collection serves as a matchless historical document of the most innovative and inspirational electoral campaign in living history, and the widespread visual creativity that helped pave the way for Obama's victory.
Yes We Did 11/4/08: Tonight was an amazing night that I will never forget, even if I live to be 106. Know that the effects of our work will not be forgotten and that we have done something remarkable here, both for politics and for design. I'm looking forward to seeing all of your celebratory posters and what the future holds!
