2 Comments on ““______ is voting for Biden” posters”
Looks dashing, but I doubt this does the campaign any service. It looks retro, hinting at the age of Biden and the Cyrillic-looking font used for his name (specifically the letter ‘n’) substantiates the fake-news claims about him being tied to Russia.
This is a very good example for the fact that good design has to be far more than just good looks in order to deliver the message right.
I agree with your concluding statement, but not with the two points you make. To me, this looks more hip than retro. Or maybe a flavor of retro that is hip, not reactionary. More importantly, this is aimed at a clientele that’s not prone to claims about Biden being tied to Russia. With the featured personnel and statements like “Idealism → Realism” and “Vote ≠ Endorsement”, it specifically addresses voters who would have preferred a more progressive candidate than Biden.
