Well, we are 67 days into the Obama administration and he still hasn’t paid off my mortgage and credit cards…joking of course but the jury is still out on whether this guy can do the job well. I have my opinions but will only say that politicians in general disappoint me.
Whether you love Obama or hate him you have to admit that his campaign was brilliant, there were viral videos, posters, a nicely designed logo, celebrity endorsements, and even an iPhone application.
The posters created by Shepard Fairey (seen below) created quite the buzz and I think contributed to his overall image. Anyway, I stumbled upon a tutorial that demonstrates how to create such a poster and I tested it out using a photo of my wife.
On a side note…
Previous to his Obama posters, Fairey was most well know for his Obey Giant street poster but has come under fire recently and even been accused of plagiarism. Peep this interesting article.
