So with the DNC, and I guess the Republican National Convention, upon us I am here to say, ” I am one of America’s Young Voters” and if you can’t tell who I’m voting for you may want to read this blog alittle more.
So as one of “America’s Young Voters” here is my NONcourt ordered PSA.
But for those of you who don’t know who you’re voting for, the next two weeks of setting agendas and VP talk will completely confuse you, not to mention ALL THE ADS.
And how would I judge products without the packaging?
Now McCain seems to go with the classic, black and gold traditional font, solid familiar, an old friend (wow you would not believe how hard it is to find this stupid McCain Poster, if the internet voted I definitely know who would win)
McCain Button
remind you of any other familiar sign you love.
Guinness
He’s also started placing Pro Hillary anti Obama Ads on his website but if you want more info check it out here.
As a contrary to John McCain, Barack Obama has tried to use new technologies and new ways of campaigning to really help his cause, his posters were Silk Screened, to give the candidate a soft feel utilizing a traditional pallet and graphics that mirror the current trends in pop culture, I mean look at it
Obama Poster
This Shepard Fairey image may be this elections most noticeable but doesn’t it remind you of something, you know that the kids are wearing, those Tshirts and hoodies… oh yeah
Shepard Fairey Andre the Giant
So lets take a minute and truly dissect these ads, John McCain’s style tend to be that of a more traditional, more solid brand, [yo and I love Guinness, it does have a strong history] and that is a consciouses decision he and his camp have made to differentiate themselves from the Young, Fresh Obama Camp [which seems to be latching onto technology, and the peoples disgust and distrust in the current Status Quo].
Ok so why did I, the NWK, take this blog from free hip-hop to politics. Because it seems like every celebrity in the US and especially hip hop has something to say about this election. So in order to get you OSH fiend music fix today you have to check out Rock the Vote. The site has an agenda, [its newest art draw is a Limited Edition Signed Shepard Fairey Print, hmm where did I hear that name before,] but all i want you to do is go and register. If you don’t and don’t vote; I don’t wanna hear it when your side loses [Democrats]. And if you really need the media and need these celebrities to tell you what to do, click on their YouTube, here, or they have a whole section, here, with socially conscious artists, their bios, and music [including the Flobots, Black Keys {who put on a tight show before Common killed it at the SoCo Experience Saturday}, .
here is the Rock the Vote Imeem too.
