Great analysis of the Berlin Obama poster by John Holbo, who looks at it from the perspective of font and graphic design in German history. (Can't beat a headline like that, either).


So, about that Obama-in-Berlin poster.

kate, I like this story. Its good stuff.

It is an interesting point of view, I do like the posters though and the stile of that era, massively used all over the World in those days by the way! I think he may be right, nevertheless, Politics should stay away from that art form and so should Obama, especially in Germany! Yet Regean used it to in the states though!
