Shepard Fairey.

There has been more talk in the studio about how these projects can proactively connect with the community… think about how the proliferation of Shepard Fairey’s work and message relates to the themes we have been discussing.

P.S. – Rebecca gets the credit for the Fairey reference.

It’s amazing how Shepard’s graphic work had such an impact on Obama’s “brand” and public social network, and Obama didn’t even commission or have control over it. The association was made and thankfully he was a supporter. The power of design, I love it.
