Comment on Poster competition is a misstep by Obama campaign by lasertron (@lasertron)

thanks for this article–I think it’s an issue that is a blind spot for many business owners and public figures. When people need design work done, sometimes if you don’t know the expectations of designers and the “etiquette” of the industry, you can be painted with a bad brush. It’s good to keep the dialogue going and hopefully this misstep from the obama campaign will be an opportunity to bring more voices into it.

Doug, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the matter. I wholeheartedly agree that we need to use these opportunities to focus on the value of design instead of simply complaining or flamestorming. I’m curious about thoughts you have about concrete steps the design community could take in situations like this. I think there’s a lot of designers in the world who see a scenario like this and want to take positive action, but don’t know where to start. Ideas or suggestions for the masses?

Amen, and well said, Doug! I look forward to hearing more about this new initiative. (I read the post on 5by5 but didn’t see a way to comment there, so that’s the content I’m commenting on here).

Congratulations Doug. You will be a fabulous national AIGA president, and here in MN we’re lucky to have your influence and energy. I agree that it’s imperative to rethink AIGA as times–and our profession–changes. I look forward to hearing where you and the board go with the organization.
