Today it is one year ago that Barack Obama was elected. Time to look back to his Campaign. Scott Thomas the Design Director for Obama’s 2008 campaign, led a now-historic political campaign, in which branding, design, and the web played a truly pivotal role. Likening the experience to “building an airplane in flight,” Scott talks about the creative’s need for triage, the crucial role of incremental design improvements, and the importance of getting back to the hand and keeping things simple.

About Scott
Scott Thomas is constantly seeking the simplest answer to complex problems. Scott began his design pursuits studying architecture before bouncing to graphic design and web development.

In 2006, he and five other creative types began a design collective, lovingly known as The Post Family. The group is devoted to supporting “family” member’s design habits-from silkscreen to letterpress, from illustration to blogging-in an effort to “get back to the hand.”

In 2007, Scott’s career took a dramatic leap when he was invited to join the New Media team at Obama for America. He is currently writing a book that explains how an obscure senator rose to the highest office in the land and celebrity status with the aid of branding and design.

Cool Web-Application

Interaction and advertising are finding ways together the last years in are society.
But how do we implement a message and efficentie together in one design
there are ways to realise it.

Tack a look in Hong Kong.

But there is more.
Nokia is did something with the new N95 in 2007 around london.
It involves a huge touchscreen where people can play a memory game.

and take a look at Walking on Clouds
we can see that most of the designs are based on a two layer principle
1 the interaction part
2 the corporate message behind the interaction layer..
