A MASTER CARICATURIST AT WORK

A video by Washington Post walks us through how master illustrator John Kascht constructs a caricature of John Edwards. My pal Patti McCracken passes along the link.

See more of Kascht’s fabulous work on his web site.

CAMPAIGN GRAPHIC DESIGN CRITIQUED

The RumorsDaily blog noted that The New York Times published a story back in November comparing the campaign graphics of various candidates. The Boston Globe published a similar story Sunday.

RumorsDaily, therefore, compared the two articles.

RumorsDaily concludes:

…is it really a coincidence that the two candidates who have surged in the month between when the NY Times story was posted and when the Boston Globe story was posted are the two that the Globe considered the most effective? I think the critics (at least the Globe’s Sam Berlow and Cyris Highsmith) are being unduly influenced by the popular effectiveness of the logos and not the designs of the logos themselves. This is why movie reviewers write their reviews before the public gets a chance to watch a movie, not after.
