Title: Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign for the U.S. presidency and visual design

Abstract: This article examines the role that visual design played in efforts to elect Barack Obama president of the United States in 2008. Visual design has been an important factor in many past U.S. presidential political marketing campaigns, but it has been less significant in the last two decades—at least in printed material. This trend was reversed in the Obama campaign. Visuals were not only a key element in the Obama campaign’s posters and stickers, but also on its Web site, as well as in its television advertisements and T-shirts. Furthermore, the campaign’s logo was a departure from ones typically developed for U.S. candidates, in that it captured the essence of the Obama campaign symbolically, using pictorial elements inventively. The posters and stickers designed by independent artists—many of whom incorporated the logo—helped generate excitement for the candidate and supported the unique positive brand that his marketing team had devised.

Abstract: This paper explores the visual design principles illustrated in campaign posters used in democratic elections, beginning in the early nineteenth century. The main trends in poster design for most of the twentieth century were simplification and stylization. Political poster designers tried to conceive distinctive styles and powerful visuals, used text sparingly, and arranged elements to attract attention. The paper includes some excerpts from the author’s book, Posters, Propaganda, and Persuasion Around the World and Through History, as well as additional material on visual literacy and the 2008 U.S. presidential election campaign.

Abstract: This paper discusses the visual design of Nazi Party election campaign posters from 1920 to 1933 (when free elections were abolished in Germany), as well as the influence of American principles and practices in advertising, public relations, and Le Bon’s mass psychology theories, on Nazi leaders and their political propaganda during this period. The use of color, typography, graphic images, and symbols, evidenced in Nazi Party election posters, reflects its leaders’ knowledge of advertising, public relations, and visual design principles. Advertising—a form of propaganda—affected Hitler and Goebbels in their designs of posters and other media, and its principles were pushed to the limits by the Nazis to manipulate public opinion and gain power in Germany.
