If only our nation's leaders were as committed to not controlling every word of every sentence, and talk to us like real people! I love this collection of posters. I know it's about Obama's campaign, but more than that... it's a testament to the power of a group of people who are at liberty to say and create and needle and voice and debate. I'm not american. But I come from a country where these things are upheld also... Congratulations on capturing these thoughts in this way...

I'm not a major fan of art books, but this one is no regular art book. The clean layout makes for a sophisticated yet browse-able book. The range of styles represents the diversity of support garnered by our President. The book reflects the emotion, passion, and soul of the campaign. Beautiful.

This wonderful book is both a important testament to & a beautiful celebration of Obama's momentous election. Showcasing art by artists from all over the globe, "Design For Obama" is literally & figuratively a work of art in & of itself. Taschen really did an exquisite job on the printing, the coloring, the paper-stock, the layout, et al. The heft of the book is only surpassed by its beauty.
(& I write this not only as an artist whose great honor it is to have some work in the book ("Man of Hope", page 49, & "Baby Got Hope" on 85), but as a connoisseur of fine art books as well.)
If you would like to read about the book signing party which was a fabulous shindig & a great opportunity to meet the authors as well as many other artists involved, please visit "very secret monster things" @

Beautiful book with a lot of great posters. I love that the artists come from a wide range of backgrounds-- from high school students to experienced designers.

Aaron's layout design is quite handsome...and it doesn't hurt that Steven Heller and Spike Lee had a hand in it too.

A fantastic collection of emerging and seasoned designers. Can't wait for Aaron's next book :D!
