I hope you really show the internal design and decision process used during the campaign. How was the logo developed, how were fonts chosen, what were paths not taken? What kind of internal struggle was there over letting the brand free for others to use? Show sketches, memos, email, alternative versions. How did the community response change the campaign's own work? Will-I-Am, Fairy, et. al.? The campaign was beautiful, I'd like it to inspire more beauty in campaigns and causes to come.
I'm an interaction designer and here in Mexico the Obama campaign had a lot of people talking! The campagin website was all over the place , in blogs, discussions, and derived graphics. Among designers, the Obama Campaign equaled rockstars. I'd really like to see some interesnting correlations in the data about the impact of the experience design brought to the media the Obama team used to carry out the presidential campaign.
What was the difference with the last democratic campaign media?
What's the story behind the decision of integrating design (not just graphic) to the campaign
What did the team learned along the way
What worked, what didn't?
Cheers! Really excited and looking forward to have a copy of the book in my hands
Not to be a dick, but one suggestion based on the grammar in this post is hiring a copy editor ;)
