Design for Obama, the website/brainchild of Aaron Perry-Zucker ‘09 GD, turned the Obama campaign themes of inclusion and empowerment into an online community where artists up- and downloaded poster designs. The hundreds of submissions (notably “Did The Right Thing,” sent by Don Button days after the election) caught the attention of filmmaker Spike Lee. The result? A book of 200 designs, selected and edited by Aaron and Spike, with an essay by design historian Steven Heller. Published by Taschen, Design for Obama: Posters for Change/A Grassroots Anthology is set for release November 4, 2009, on the year anniversary of President Obama’s historic victory.
