Barack Obama has always had a very well crafted graphic communication from the start of his campaign, creating quite the buzz in the designing community. It has also amazed many experts that Obama has focused so much on the “grass roots”, blogging, creating a web community and sending out e-mail newsletters and thereby targeting a huge crowd of younger voters.
