Can the right font make the difference in a media-driven election? Barack Obama's campaign is increasingly using the font Gotham for their "Change We Can Believe In" banners and other material. In this outtake from Gary Hustwit's 2007 documentary "Helvetica", type designers Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones discuss the creation of Gotham. The font was originally commissioned for GQ Magazine, and the list of qualities they were looking for then sounds surprisingly Obama-esque now. http://www.helveticafilm.com/blog

In 2003 there was a boy named Link, and his friends at school were bullying him and laughing at him because his name was the same as a game character. Half a year later he was found in the kitchen with a knife. He had slit his throat. If you don't put this on 3 videos in 10 minutes, he will stab you with the knife in your neck while you're asleep.
we should support artists who are pawns of corporate pigs that try to make us buy useless shit we don't need? designers are just people who make material things stand out to us so we can buy them.
Clearly you are not a graphic designer. If you were you would understand that design comes from a man and is heavily influenced by his society. Why do you think designers in switzerland come up with completely opposite designs than Japanese come up with. yet, within the society they come up with similar things. So, it would only make sense that they would re-create what they observe from daily life, and come up with new fonts like, GOTHAM.
