“Thirty designers create thirty posters and give you their thirty reasons to vote for Barack Obama.” I wouldn’t want to discourage anyone from getting involved in the electoral process, but there seems to me to be something shortsighted and quixotic about choosing posters as a tool for change. Sadly, it also represents the limit of most designers’ imaginations. See also the on-the-ground, anecdotal evidence that a related graphic design tool, the political lawn sign, is irrelevant to winning votes.
