In 2008, Barack Obama soared to victory in the eyes of font aficionados and graphic design snobs, the kinds of people who had pre-ordered Helvetica on Netflix, with his use of Gotham, a clean, modern font developed by Hoefler & Frere Jones. Using Gotham to reflect a change from McCain’s serifed traditionalism, Obama connected rhetoric with proposed action.
However, in light of his declining popularity and the surge of Tea Party traditionalism, many of 2010’s candidates have moved away from modern fonts and clean layouts, in favor of neo-traditional serif and star filled designs. However, since Americans are increasingly attune to conscious font design through the purposeful letterings of companies like Apple, American Airlines, IKEA, and the now infamous BP, will this shift be received positively by the public?
Do good graphics even get noticed or is it just the truly atrocious? And, the most important question of all – do graphics create winners? With these questions, we turn to today’s election in New Hampshire.

“Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void, but out of chaos; the materials must, in the first place, be afforded: it can give form to dark, shapeless substances, but cannot bring into being the substance itself. In all matters of discovery and invention, even of those that appertain to the imagination, we are continually reminded of the story of Columbus and his egg. Invention consists in the capacity of seizing on the capabilities of a subject, and in the power of molding and fashioning ideas suggested to it.” –Mary Shelley

In Moby Dick, Queequeg, the charismatic cannibal harpooner, speaks of a certain custom that arises from the lack of sofas in his native land:
...in his land, owing to the absence of settees and sofas of all sorts, the king, chiefs, and great people generally, were in the custom of fattening some of the lower orders for ottomans; and to furnish a house comfortably in that respect, you had only to buy up eight or ten lazy fellows, and lay them round in the piers and alcoves.

Jordan Blake is awesome. He writes, directs, and edits with style. He is almost tragically hip. And, he's full of class. His newest film Some Nights. is a fascinating exploration of the artistry and mundanity which constitute our relationships. We caught up with Jordan a few weeks ago and traded words.

What can I say? This film is just great. Just really great. The writer/director/animator Skyler Page is a second year student at Cal Arts. Second year. I guess we know at least one guy who'll be working at Pixar in a couple years.
