This summer, the Obama campaign commissioned Jonathan Hoefler to design a typographic poster for the Artists for Obama series. It’s now available from the Obama for America website, in a numbered edition of 5,000. You might not be the a supporter of Obama, but you might appreciate a typographic waterfall. (NO, they haven’t published the new font yet…)
I love it and was all set to order, but the minimum shipping price is $52. Oh well.

I think the design is lovely but “no other country”? Really?
I think there might be one or two countries where one’s stories are possible, no matter how unique that story is.
I mean sure, you can only become president of the United States IN the United States but I think the sentiment is meant to be broader and as a non-American, the No.Other.Country! sentiment rankles me.
I live in a great country, a fabulous country, where my story and my dreams are possible each and every day.

I love the fact/irony that it’s not Gotham…but I really don’t understand the message. I have to echo Michelle’s take on it.
That and, really, don’t we have enough Obama posters by now? ;o)

the posters they’ve been putting out have been great–above all, it’s amazing to see the turnout from all areas to support a candidate.

I think this is amazing. It’s now the background on my computer.
