Resistance is Futile

Are Barack Obama's graphic design principles spreading? A lot of political candidates could learn a thing or two from Obama's design, but of course the trouble with copying other people's cool design principles is that part of good design is looking original. It'd be bad to see progressive candidates everywhere adopting a homogenized Obama-esque scheme.

MY: "part of good design is looking original"

But Obama's design is also praised for its consistency--same fonts on all the signs, etc. Perhaps there's something to be said for common design elements across Democratic campaigns, to define the Democratic party brand.
