Design for Obama: The TASCHEN Book – Follow-up #2

· retweet 5 comments Posted on July 16, 2009 by Shahar Golan

Three months ago I was asked to participate in a new art book by TASCHEN. The Hebrew posters I designed for the Obama campaign had reached the right people and will be included in the upcoming anthology. The book is scheduled for sale on November 2009 to mark one year of the Obama presidency, and it looks like it is coming along just fine, as I just found out it now has an official name and a cover design:

Design for Obama, Posters for Change: A Grassroots Anthology
Edited by Spike Lee and Aaron Perry-Zucker
Essay by Steven Heller

Book cover: Design for Obama, Posters for Change: a Grassroots Anthology

You can pre-order the book right now!

    they just emailed me to let me know my submission was not print quality and was being rejected. in 3 months, they never asked for a higher quality image, and they told me that the image i sent was fine.

    just wanted to warn you. i am very disappointed.

    Hola & thanks for the update!

    As a fellow artist who is incredibly proud to be included in the book, this news is delightful indeed.

    Your blog is also pretty impressive in & of itself…
    it’s what my blog wants to be when it grows up.
    I’d be honored if you checked out my nascent fumblings~
