graphic design

  • An interview with notable designer Michael Beirut on the sleek and consistent graphic design of the Obama campaign. On the consistent use of the Gotham typeface:

And he seems to be able to do it in Cleveland and Cincinnati and Houston and San Antonio. Every time you look, all those signs are perfect. Graphic designers like me don't understand how it's happening. It's unprecedented and inconceivable to us. The people in the know are flabbergasted.
