This is nice. I was watching a presentation at 99% by the design director of the campaign, Scott Thomas. Great story, see for yourself:



Scott has the great idea to create a book on how the Obama campaign came about ,’Designing Obama‘, including a lot of work by a lot of people that has been made for this monumental campaign.

The Obama presidential campaign was innovative. For the first time in American politics, a candidate used art and design to bring together the American people—capturing their voices in a visual way.

The Design Director of the Obama campaign, Scott Thomas, has collaborated with artists and designers to create Designing Obama, a chronicle of the art from the historic campaign. Get the inside story on how design was used by the campaign, and scope out the pieces, created unofficially, by grassroots supporters.

The 360-page book is full-color and hardbound, highly crafted with an embossed sleeve. Forewords written by Steven Heller and Michael Bierut.

Check this video and follow the progress and making of the book on Twitter, and pre-order a standard copy for $50 from Kickstarter:
