I just loved Shepard Fairey’s iconic silk-screened poster of Obama. Great simplified portrait, fantastic use of red, white and blue, and lovely clean typography. And you've gotta love OBEY and their "propaganda engineering." As the original HOPE print is no longer available, we'll just have to settle for the NOPE version. It's clearly derivative and the portrait is not nearly as flattering. The inclusion of that wretched Optima Bold McCain logo doesn't help either. But, I suppose it will just have to do. Oh yeah, it's also available on a t-shirt.
