We’re revisiting one of our classic episodes.With Election Day happening in the United States, we wanted to mark the occasion with two amazing poster designs. We examine bringing electricity to rural parts of the United States 80 years later and inspiring a nation to rally behind an unknown presidential candidate named Barack Obama, along with how Lester Beall and Shepard Fairey made these big ideas easy to understand. And since Todd loves controversy, he shares the story of how Mr. Fairey found himself in a legal entanglement over his poster work.- - - - -Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and more!https://www.twodesignerswalkintoabar.com/episodes/episode-93-civic-posters-classic- - - - -Have a question or idea for Todd and Elliot?
